WaCo: Andy Duyck's Enemies List:
Duyck was elected in 2010 and won easily even though polling was showing him running behind. Until the day of the election, most of us though we had him beat. Funding and volunteers for this race were difficult, partly because the Governnor's race was so highly visible. Duyck will ... -
OR-1: Rob Cornilles, climate change, sleeping bags, and cheese:
I think it was a mistake to halt all research in nuclear energy. However, my magic word for the day is e-coli. -
OR-1: Rob Cornilles, climate change, sleeping bags, and cheese:
I suspect that no one is willing to live in unheated houses, take cold showers, and walk to work. So, we need a substitute for fossil fuels for heating and transportation. The problem we have now is the cost of every alternative is higher than fossil fuels. It is a ... -
OR-1: Rob Cornilles, climate change, sleeping bags, and cheese:
Gravity was a fact for 400 years. Then Einstein showed us a fact or two. Now we have strings and 11-dimensional space to threaten Einstein. Facts are indeed slippery but FUD is so much more powerful that facts in the hands of a politician. The power of the climate change ... -
OR-1: Rob Cornilles, climate change, sleeping bags, and cheese:
Climate change is a theory and not a fact. A theory must account for all known facts and predict things we don’t yet know. A single peer-reviewed fact could reduce the climate change theory to rubble. There are hundreds of papers supporting climate change and not one that refutes ... -
SD-17: A thought on progressive activism, or lack thereof:
I disagree with the premise that Washington County activist are not paying attention to county and city races. The real issue is there are insufficient activist that will do any actual work. There are approximately 100,000 self-identified Democrats in Washington County. Of those, less than 5% will do anything ... -
OR-1: Bonamici votes like a liberal. In other news, water is still wet.:
It is a faulty metric to judge a legislator's partisanship by floor votes. Virtually every bill brought to a vote has a known status. Votes in committee are more likely to show that Democrats are not an organized party. Given that over 4000 bills are introduced, the process of ... -
Oregon progressives and the DPO should repudiate Wyden-Ryan Medicare sell-out:
Insurance companies are ill equipped to deal with the cost of medical procedures. They can either cut payout or deny coverage and these are ineffective and coarse tools. Medicare uses the former and the Oregon Health Plan the latter. Neither works. With a public option, one can eliminate the profits ... -
Oregon progressives and the DPO should repudiate Wyden-Ryan Medicare sell-out:
Senator Wyden has been very consistent throughout the national healthcare insurance debate that consumers should have choices. It does not surprise me that he would continue to look for new ways to offer choice. And, being anti-choice doesn’t seem like the answer. Medicare is an insurance program and discussing ... -
OR-1: Romper Room:
The real issue is much more complex than suggested by this blog and considerably harder to reveal. Setting up a debate is complicated. Issues of timing, venue and TV coverage are hard to solve. And, with a compressed election cycle, the issues are even harder. Robinson and the Democrats of ...
