Retiring King County Councilman Dwight Pelz has announced his candidacy to succeed Paul Berendt as chairman of the Washington State Democratic Party. At the risk of spoiling his chances, I hereby endorse Councilman Pelz.
Pelz's two most notable achievements in his many years of public office are (a) his (as yet unsuccessful) attempt to establish a "sister-county" relationship between King County and a province in Fidel Castro's Cuba, and (b) illegally certifying the fraudulent election of 2004.

Berendt had the edge in PR - although it pains me to say that, but he is gone and if that advantage might be no more.

You spew disgusting lies as much as you accuse others of doing.
There was no fraudulent election. Remember, you and your republican ilk spent tons of money to try and prove that and failed WITH prejudice.
Yet, you continue to spout the lies, the nastiness and the libel ("illegally certifying the fraudulent election").
You are an emabarassment and it's only sad that people suck up your lies as fact and truth and further divide folks.
Ronald Wilson Reagan
Anyone who plays kissy face with Castro has failed to learn the 20th centuries most important lesson.
That communism is a failed murderous ideology.
Anyone not having learned that lesson is unfit for any form of leadership.

I think Pelz has spent way too much time with his Berkeley buddies. If you ever want a real hoot, take a look at the City of Berkley website. A couple years ago or so, Michael Medved had a woman Berkeley City Councilmember on his show. It was HYSTERICAL. Medved just let her talk & talk & talk and sounded deeply interested on her positions on a plethora of issues. She took the bait...hook, line & sinker. I would love to hear it replayed someday. If Pelz had his way, KingCo would be the Berkley of the North! Heck, the whole state or whole country would be Berkeley. I'm afraid you may have just squashed him though.

Please provide an example one of Shark's "lies, the nastiness and the libel." Link to one of the posts regarding the election, and show in the RCW just how the election was certified when the LAW as set forth in the RCW was not followed.
Until you can do so...

I don't think anyone finds THEM. I think THEY have found US.
My belief is that all of these CLOWNS came here on a giant spaceship from a faraway planet called ALPHA CENTAURA. Castro is one of them too! So is Al Gore. They have blended in over the past 100 years throughout the world. And now they are re-gathering in SEATTLE, WASHINGTON. I am hoping they are all in Seattle, congregating so the mothership can BEAM THEM UP!
What a putz. Posted by: Mr. Cynical on December 14, 2005 02:27 PM
Judge Bridges did not rule that there was no fraud, only that the evidence presented did not prove fraud. Unfortunately, some of the best evidence was only uncovered after the trial, thanks to King County's lies and effective stonewalling of the discovery process. How would that evidence have influenced the Judge's ruling had it been admitted? We'll never know. That's the problem with a half-assed trial. It leads to a procedural outcome but resolves nothing in the minds of those who were seeking a convincing explanation of what happened.

any man who is over 30, and is not a conservative, has no brains".
Has Pelz been as brainless as long as Castro??
Posted by: John425 on December 14, 2005 03:37 PMI think Winnie was talking about LIBERALS not Red Diaper Baby, Dope Smokn', Maggot Infested, Hippie Freak Commies.
Liberals we can manage, you know the tax and spend, never met a social program they didn't like, want to help the underdog, type.
Commies are a different breed they want to squash the individual, all power to the state type.
Unfortunately for us LIBERALS are hard to come by since the passing of the likes of Scoop and Moyinhan.
Anyone who admires the murdering thug Castro has yearnings in that direction, and is a COMMUNIST.
Commies don't just have no brain, they have no morals, no conscience, and no regard for anyone other than their ideology. The history lesson of communism is that anyone or anything that gets in the way of the socialist/communist utopia gets SQUASHED.
We'd didn't fight and win the Cold WAR (Thank You RWR) just to have to fight them here in the Soviet of Seattle, and we have far too many of them running around and running things here for my taste.

Now, it looks like it is the Ds turn and hiring one of the Dean lunatics rather than someone more moderate. Have at it Democrats!! We are watching and a laughing!!!
Posted by: swatter on December 14, 2005 04:49 PMI'm glad to see you've finally accepted the results in Florida in 2000! How do you feel about Justice Roberts and soon-to-be-Justice Alito?
Don't worry, in 2008 we'll rig a completely different state to win another election by a landslide. Maybe it'll be Washington!!

Of, course, that doesn't make the content of the statement any less true...
Posted by: Mike H on December 14, 2005 05:50 PM10 Mind-Numbingly Stupid Quotes by Howard Dean
10) "I think with a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court, you can't play, you know, hide the salami, or whatever it's called." --urging President Bush to make public Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers's White House records
9) "You know, the Republicans are not very friendly to different kinds of people. They're a pretty monolithic party. Pretty much, they all behave the same, and they all look the same. ... It's pretty much a white Christian party.'' --speaking about the lack of outreach to minority communities by political parties
8) "I still want to be the candidate for guys with Confederate flags in their pickup trucks."
7) "I'm a metrosexual." –employing the buzz phrase for straight men who are in touch with their feminine sides, then later admitting he didn't know what the term means
6) "We've gotten rid of (Saddam Hussein), and I suppose that's a good thing."
5) "The idea that the United States is going to win the war in Iraq is just plain wrong."
4) "This president is not interested in being a good president.
3) "Now that we're on dog pee, we can have an interesting conversation about that. I do not recommend drinking urine…but if you drink water straight from the river, you have a greater chance of getting an infection than you do if you drink urine." —teaching an eight-grade science class in La Crosse, Wisconsin
2) "You think people can work all day and then pick up their kids at child care or wherever and get home and still manage to sandwich in an eight-hour vote? Well Republicans, I guess can do that. Because a lot of them have never made an honest living in their lives."
1) "Not only are we going to New Hampshire ... we're going to South Carolina and Oklahoma and Arizona and North Dakota and New Mexico, and we're going to California and Texas and New York! And we're going to South Dakota and Oregon and Washington and Michigan. And then we're going to Washington, D.C. to take back the White House, Yeeeeeaaaaaargh!" --Iowa concession speech
I've seen it attributed to Otto Von Bismarck and Churchill.
Posted by: Mike H on December 14, 2005 06:07 PMSame deal I offered to Ivan in another thread - we'll give you the 100,000 votes that went for Bush in Ohio if you give us the 10,000 or so the D machine stole in Wisconsin.
Deal?
You lost. Twice. Get over it.
Posted by: jimg on December 14, 2005 06:11 PMBerendt retiring?...Compton leaving his council seat??
Maybe Pelz is out of the loop? Didn't get the memo? Obviously something is changing in the Northwest with regard to the liberal's in office.....
I say let Pelz be the chairman of the state Demon party! They eat our young..but they also eat their own!
I sat and listened to his pathetic lying voice on numerous canvassing board tapes after the 2004 election fraud....and I got distinct the impression that he's an idiot and a wuss! Bring him on!
Now, I'm just waiting to see if McDermott decides to suddenly leave office......to tour ummm..France and Venezuela?.....Heh...that will be a huge sign that something's up... There will be non-partisan/bi-partisan dancing in the streets of Seattle!
Posted by: Deborah on December 14, 2005 07:31 PMIf anything, they would want to continue with it, since are successful locally, so don't expect any changes for the better from the party of political correctness and diversity/perversity. If it ain't broke, don't fix it - so with that in mind, I'd be surprised if Pelz replaced Berendt, but stranger things have happened. I say - bring him on, but also believe that the Repubs could stand a change in their leadership also, given their track record over the last 10 years here.
Posted by: KS on December 14, 2005 08:18 PMI left my ilk here somewhere...has anybody seen it?
Posted by: South County on December 14, 2005 10:35 PM"Any man who is under 30, and is not a liberal, has no heart; and
any man who is over 30, and is not a conservative, has no brains".
The final lines to that are..."and if you're over 65 and voting liberal, you're senile."
Then..."If you're over 75 and voting liberal, it means you're in a nursing home."
