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
The Radio Equalizer prolific former Seattle KVI, KIRO talk host speaks authoritatively about radio.
U people are stupid nobody know the day or hour when the world will end. There is no calculations whats so ever. Harold made up this equation himself.. There IS NO FOOL LIKE AN OLD FOOL HAROLD. When the world don't end at 6pm today i hope his followers don't following him again. Be a leader think and ride the bible for yourself.. He is wrong once before, I better this are the same people that followed him in 1994. Guess those people didn't learn from his prediction back then.. Talk to everybody on SUNDAY MAY 22
Well, if the world does end today, and so far New Zealand is intact, perhaps I will have the chance to meet most of you in Hell. Just think of all the interesting people in Hell that Dori could interview. Its for sure Ron & Don will be there. We could all throw gobs of doggie turds at them.
damn, no rapture.
as a non believer I most assuredly would have been damned to hell, but it sure would have been interesting who got put on the invite list to the big dance.
and the look on the face of the usual suspects when they found out they were stuck on this mortal coil with a heathen like me would have been priceless.
Ok, well… welcome to hell everyone. Those who have disappeared are more conservative than you. Therefore anyone left behind are now liberals. Live with it.
okay, this is going to be pretty easy this new liberal thingie. Just move your position depending upon if it is a Dem in office. Am I lying? LMAO, even though Candidate Obama ran against it as Pres Obama he suddenly has had his own conversion.
Let's see, Obama is for Bush Tax Cuts--Check; Obama is for the USAPatriot Act --Check; Obama is keeping Gitmo open--Check; Obama is adopting the Bush Doctrine for the War on Terror visa vi rendition and use of information resulting from 'enhanced interrogation'--Check; and has pretty much become a full blown neo-con with a third war (anyone think it was a war of necessity?) that Pres Obama somehow defines as a 'non war' to avoid having to comply with the War Powers Act--Check.
"The controversial and expensive recount in the Wisconsin Supreme Court election is complete. As expected, the results of the race remain the same, with incumbent Supreme Court Justice David Prosser defeating his liberal challenger.
By more than 7,000 votes.
Assistant Attorney General Joanne Kloppenburg requested the recount even though the margin in the race exceeded the margins in all the statewide recounts in all the states in the last thirty years….combined."
Okay, as a liberal I must say there is fraud. A Selection not an Election!
Wisconsin could not have willingly voted for a conservative Supreme Court Justice!
Jeez, this is easy although I gotta admit watching MSNBC 24/7 all crime shows on the weekend is going to be mighty tiresome...

Oh that sounds like a fun game to play Puget! I will be the Republican now!
1. First, I will take a real problem.
2. Next I will mix in information, disinformation, and confusion.
3. Then I will ignore those who have experience in the area.
4. I mustn't forget to complain that the critics of the proposal don't have a solution (even though the critics are saying that the solution is worse than the current problem).
5. Finally, I will double down when the new law fails to work!
Jovita - Substitute Democrat in for Republican and you have exposed your admission, instead of your attempted cover up.
That would be refreshing - but I won't hold my breath for your confession.
The Republican ploy would read more like;
2. Focus on the problem and propose an alternative solution, but not communicate it effectively.
3. Wait for those with experience to speak up without asking.
4. It's true that the Democratics do not have a viable solution that will work for the people, just a political one that they believe will work for their party.
5. Being a minority party, it is only instructive to point out where the new law fails to work (i.e the Stimulus and Obamacare). However, it is a struggle to keep communicating that effectively and often not showing enough tenacity to double down. However, the Tea Party has shown signs of changing that.
an addendum - The GOP is too easily intimidated by the Mainstream media who are 85% in the tank for the current corrupt administration - how dare the Tea Party or anyone else go against Obama, et. al., lest they be called racist - just ask Meet the Press.
It's like the 12th man at a Seahawks game, where the Democratics are the Seahawks.
The Star Spangled Banner is about seeing the American flag still flying over Fort McHenry in Baltimore after a night of intense siege and bombardment by the British during the War of 1812.
How curious that anyone would twist its meaning into a celebration of war, rather than a celebration of survival.
KIROFM 97.3 Multi-format: news and nearly all local talk. This is where classic KIRO AM news talk radio went... hopefully, not to die. The home of Dave Ross & Luke Burbank, Dori Monson, Ron & Don, Frank Shiers, Bill Radke, Linda Thomas, Tony Miner and George Noory.
KUOW FM 94.9 Seattle's foremost public radio news and talk.
KVI am 570 KHz Visit the burnt-out husk of one of the seminal right-wing talkers in all the land. Here's where once trilled the reactionary tones of Rush Limbaugh, John Carlson, Kirby Wilbur, Mike Siegel, Peter Weissbach, Floyd Brown, Dinky Donkey, and Bryan Suits.
Now it's Top 40 hits from the '60's & '70's aimed at that diminishing crowd who still remembers them and can still hear.
KTTH am 770 KHz Right wing home of local, and a whole bunch of syndicated righties such as Glennn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Medved, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Lars Larsony, and for an hour a day: live & local David Boze.
KPTK am 1090 KHz Syndicated liberal talk. Stephanie Miller, Thom Hartmann, Ed Schultz, Randi Rhodes, Norman Goldman fill in the large hole to the left on Northwest radio dial.
KLFE AM 1590 kHz Syndicated right-wing 2nd stringers like Mark Levin, Bill Bennett, Mike Gallagher, Dennis Prager, Dennis Miller and Hugh Hewitt inhabit this timid-voiced neighbor honker for your radio enjoyment (unless you're behind something large like Costco).
KOMOAM News, traffic, Ken Schram and John Carlson.
I guess it didn't end. I still had to show up at work this morning. We did have donuts and that's a lot like heaven.
