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.
Orbusmax inexhaustible Drudgery of NW conservative news

When the Koch Bros. finish buying the congress will the Dems. of the working class be the only ones to take wage cuts? I think some working class Republicans may get bit in the ass also. But I am sure Republican Politicians will fare very well.
George Soros will try to outspend Koch through his tentacles (i.e. Media Matters, Moveon.org, Open Society, Organizing for America, et.al.).
With all due respect, you sheeple on the left are willfully ignorant about Georgy - newsflash: he is not a friend of the American people that also means progressives, even though he will manipulate you into believing he is- he only wants to line his own pockets and work toward a One World Order, via his so-called Open Society. Don't say I haven't warned you - but I suspect you'll play the paranoia, anti-semite or race card because you see this view as a threat.
KS believes that Georgy Soros sits in front of Fox News and writes check after check to the Democrats, regardless of the number of times I have posted links to articles about how he has stepped away from funding Dems for now. At least he has not drunk the koolaid about how Soros helped the Nazis kill the Jews.
KS, has Soros invited wealthy CEOs to confabs around the country to plot the demise of the Republicans? If he has, then you can more accurately equate him with the Koch brothers.
As an aside, David Koch said today that we dont need to worry about climate change...if the planet is screwed up, humans will just "adapt." That explains the gills growing in my neck!
You made my point, Sparky about being willfully ignorant about George Soros - LMAO. Why don't you just call Rupert Murdoch and the Koch Brothers - the anti-trilogy - Excerpts from yesterday's interview with him on CNN...
"Billionaire financier George Soros blasted Fox News, Glenn Beck and Rupert Murdoch Sunday in a CNN interview, likening them to Nazis or the fictitious “Big Brother” of George Orwell for what he described as manipulation of the public. He also suggested that the tea party movement was deluded and should be pitied because they don’t "understand" the economic forces at work in the United States, according to CNN.
Last year, Soros donated $1 million to the liberal media analysis group Media Matters, which devotes much of its work to attacking Fox. For years, the group had denied being secretly funded by Soros, who stressed that this was his first ever donation to the group.
Soros took his shots on Sunday’s “Fareed Zakaria GPS” on CNN, accusing Murdoch of using Fox News and his media empire to change the direction of government. He reacted to Fox News Channel host Glenn Beck’s assertion that there is a “shadow government” with puppets and puppet masters, and Soros is pulling the strings.
“Well, I would be amused if people saw the joke in it, because what he is doing, he is projecting what Fox — what Rupert Murdoch is doing, because he has a media empire that is telling the people some falsehoods and mis — and leading the government in the wrong direction,” Soros said. “But, you know, by accusing me of doing that, it’s kind of — it makes it rather hard to see that it’s really — he is working for the man who is doing it which is Fox News.”
“Fox News makes a habit — it has imported the methods of George Orwell, you know, newspeak, where you can tell the people falsehoods and deceive them,” Soros said. “...They succeeded in — in Germany, where the Weimar Republic collapsed and you had a Nazi regime follow it. So this is a very, very dangerous way of deceiving people. And I would like people to be aware that they are being deceived. Now, I — because I saw it as a child, I immediately react that way. But the people in America, they are innocent. They haven’t had the experience. They’re having the experience now. And I hope they wake up and they realize that they are being deceived.”
And if you believe that bilge- I have 100 acres of prime waterfront property to sell you on the Ebey Slough.
KS thinks thinks Soros is the left: we are all Soros and Soros is us. I like that. Sure a better face for the liberal side than the Koch Brothers and Anschutz are for the right.
Wasn't Greece the cradle of democracy? Or was that Macedonia? Or are they the same?
You seem to care enough to jump in with another of your tedious postings there joanie.
George Soros is the left. Just none of us really knows what his real motives are. You know that he is using progressives as his tools, you just don't know what he is building, nor what it is going to cost. Cost it will and pay we will.
Union shills from the left, corporate shils from the right. The Federal Guvmint must be downsized if we are to survive as a Democratic Republic.

This is not a democracy - it is a democratic republic - there's a difference. I don't expect useful idiots for the neo-coms to care, but you are in the minority and the jihadists are also against you, but in a more violent way.
Government must be downsized? Should government start with you?
If this Wisconsin display hasn't taught you people anything, then nothing will teach you. Money from your pockets and investments into the pockets of the rich and now you're being asked to replace it.
How stupid is stupid these days?
And KS, forget the republic/democracy debate. It is hardly relevant.
