The Reagan Wing Hearin lies the real heart of Washington State Republicans. Doug Parris runs this red-meat social conservative group site which bars no holds when it comes to saying who they are and who they're not; what they believe and what they don't; who their friends are and where the rest of the Republicans can go. Well-written, and flaming.

A couple of threads back it was mentioned that norMAN goldMAN 'buy his way' on the air. What exactly does that mean? Is he buying 3 hours of air time? what about commercial revenue?
I've never left coiler, I've always been confined here with nothing but a computer terminal for escapism. But I hope you know that the terms mental retarded or mental retardation are no longer PC, so I expect some good 'ol home training from you. BTW, thank you so much for being my friend.
Interesting you say she has never played well here, Michael. On what do you base that? I'm more curious than judging. She's not my favorite but when she's talking issues, policy and facts, nobody can beat her. That's why these idiots on the right hate her. They are intellectually her inferiors.
And I still wonder why they keep Goldman at 3. I'd love to hear Randi at 3.
joanie, that hurts my feelings; I can't believe you wouldn't befriend someone with an intellectual disability. But, I understand that you're apparently above that. Oh Well, and please don't call me duff...he takes good care of us.
I believe chucks asked you a question and we are all (here in the institution) waiting for your answer. Are you going to whoop his butt. Do you want to know about his trip to Haiti.
It's Okay, I'm sure I can count on coiler and sparky to be my friend. Thanks any way.
Because he's the puppet and Rahm, et al are the puppeteers. Haven't you (or Randi) figured that out yet. Apparently not. Oh well, there's always Gen Wes Clark. BTW, how's that working out for you, since your dream boy JE didn't quite pan out.
Bwahahahaha
Oh my, they're comin to get me now; I can't play with you any more; I'll leave you with chucks and he can detail his Haiti trip for you.
Thanks for being my friend.

No time off for my bride, or any body else in that office while legislature is in session. They need to price out the cost's of all those bills that get introduced by our representatives. It is 10-12 hour days, including holidays until it's over.
I used to feel a little bad that I may have had a part in your meanness, but reading some of your comments you made last week, no, you don't need me. You are a vile woman no matter who visits these boards. Pity.

talk about inept!
gets a veto proof majority in both houses and the presidency can't get it done all year long. (must be president "bushler's" fault, eh?) it's about as weak as msnbc.
how'd that campaign against 'Fixed News' work out anyway?
the campaign stunt directed at the supreme court during the state of the union only serves to drive independents and blue dogs away. but yeah, keep it up. hope and change?
wow, i am sure THAT will inspire the nutroots to go out, sweat, name call, and vote in the upcoming 2010 election.
randi only works as an angry whiner. their is an crowd that likes that stuff. it's a smaller crowd but it does exist.
randi's 'loyal' to her brew. she wasn't very loyal to her listeners. give it a few months and they'll be yet another 'incident.'
Don't know about Patty Murray losing in Nov., but Inslee, Larsen and the 3rd District (Baird's) have a decent shot at being retired and replaced with a GOP US Representative.
President Obama's comments regarding the Supremes' latest hit at the State of the Union could be characterized as a "campaign stunt," and it was definitively political; he is the President...and no, the strict constructionists and originalists presiding over the federal judiciary aren't in anyway political, eh? But that debate would cross both sides get redundant, and I'd rather get back to the point on style that President Obama's criticism of the Supreme Court decision will alienate him with independantsd and blue dogs. DO YOU REMEMBER DUBAI PORTS? I don't think that President Obama will do anything but endear himself to moderates, blue dogs, and even conservative nativists when he rails about this nation being on the precipice of having corporate "persons" in the form of Saudi Arabians, or Venezuleans, or Russian, or even American companies with penchant for outsourcing, being able to spend limitlessly to affect our representative democracy. If you think that President Obama is barking up the wrong tree by challenging the Supreme Court's decision, then I think that you're either tone deaf or secretly on my side.

Randi is celebrating the speech. She's lovin' it. She's loyal, I'll hand her that.
She just said he's (Obama) not the legislature. Neither was Bush but he found a way to get it done. Just like the left to play by the rules.
She added that his "enforcer - Rahm - is a blue dog. So why doesn't he get rid of the blue dog? Find someone who represents his base.
