Ore. Democrat wins special congressional election

The goal is to keep us all fighting amongst each other so we are looking the other way when a handful of people literally steal America, her democracy, her wealth, her environment, and her resources, not to mention her good name right out from underneath us.

A democrat elected in Oregon??? Oh, well stop the presses...Are republicans even allowed to cross the state line?

Running as a Republican in OR would be a difficult task for anyone especially in the Portland area. I guess hope springs eternal.

no surprise here... after all, isn't oregon the western half of Massachusetts...

Cameron • Zhengzhou, China ...............................Yep, Cameron is a Chinese national. He can't spell and his English is terrible. His name is really Khan Mere Rhan. He loves the GOP because the GOP has given rich people and corporations tax cutsto create jobs in China.

James,

Evidently you are guilty of the same attacks for which you acuse me. Firstly to get my reasoning, you would have had to read harold's idiotic comments about me being a foreign agent because im in china now. I had two uncles. One was killed on Dec 8, 1941. The other was an Academy graduate. My father wa a combat infantrymen in WWII. My grandfather were both professional officers. ANd it goes back to before the revolution. What do you think is the probability of somebody like that being a foreign agent? Is that plain enough for you.

Furthermore he was saying i was involved in outsourcing jobs. In fact I was the global economist for a chinese investment bank so suck on that. Hardly outsourved anything did I? Is that plain enough for you.

So what else is new? Oregon has over the last 20 years become a more progressively more progressive Demo state.

We wouldn't need so much government if the Harvard Business School TAUGHT ETHICS and responcibility to the Country.

If Oregon is mostly liberal-- like I read on the posts--How do you stay clear of the sales tax??

Tax nude bicycle riders and save this country. Hahaha

Pay no attention, just spark another doobie.

David Wu went coo coo. He is a disgrace to his people. We are glad he is gone.

545 vs. 300,000,000 People - By Charlie Reese
Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.

Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?

Have you ever wondered, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes?

You and I don't propose a federal budget. The President does.

You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does.

You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does.

You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does.

You and I don't control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does.

One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one President, and nine Supreme Court justices equates to 545 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.

I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central bank.

I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a President to do one cotton-picking thing. I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes.

Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party.

What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits. The President can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it.

The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes. Who is the speaker of the House? Nancy Pelosi. She is the leader of the majority party. She and fellow House members, not the President, can approve any budget they want. If the President vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to.

A Democrat wins an election in Portland. In other news, water is wet.

What a surprise a democrat wins in western oregon. Who would have thought such a thing was possible

In other shocking news, the sun rose this morning.

WOOOHOOOOO!!!! There are a couple of things this article does not mention. 1. Cornilles started the attack ads at 6am the morning after Bonamici won the primary. Bonamici's retaliatory attack ads started much later in the campaign. 2. Those of us who studied Cornilles know he is very right wing Republican who tried to paint himself as a moderate in all of his campaign verbiage. 3. District 1 is a very Blue district and only a true moderate Republican could win in this district, not a wolf in sheep's clothing, or a tea movement associate trying to portray himself as a moderate Republican. 4. Until we get big money out of political campaigns the concrete slinging ads are going to continue to afflict us 24/7.

In Iran, Liberalism is forbidden and its members have been killed. The Liberal Democratic Party of Iran is forced to exist in exile (based in Sweden). No wonder Conservatives want to go to Iran so bad; war is always about; they've got it and we want it.
