An open apology to Maureen Adkison and her campaign team

The other day I was driving by Bruce Smith’s place on South 3rd St. His building has no signage and his windows are bare. In one of the windows a large campaign sign or signs (probably 4′x8′) were leaning against a wall and a large window facing the street. I must admit, I did not see a name. From the street one could clearly see the word ‘Elect” in white against the Turguoise type color that Ms Adkison is using. I quickly and wrongly assumed the sign to be one of hers.

Maureen’s campaign chair; Dale Carpenter emailed the blog and asserted that it was not theirs. Dale further asked for a recant. Well, here it is.
I am truly sorry I jumped the gun and made a false assumption. I apologize to Maureen, Dale and her supporters and to the readers of this blog. I will delete that blog entry and let this one stand in its place.

    No signage and the windows are bare, huh? Maybe he’s been whupped up by Ron and forced out of town. Maybe his business is in ruin. Woulnd’t that make Ron so happy. MAYBE HE’S GETTING HIS BUILDING PAINTED!

    No big suprise you jumped to conclusions about the sign. The suprising part was the apology.

    My advise to you – get a life and a point of view that doesn’t center on your fixation with Bruce Smith.

    My advise to Bruce Smith – get a handgun (God Bless America!) and a restraining order.

    So this is what the right wing nutbags are resorting to. You cons all seem so bent on picking up a gun to settle an argument. If your candidates and their handlers (Bruce Smith) can’t take criticism, you’re advising them to arm themselves? No wonder your party is circling the drain across the nation. It handles crisis really well.

  3. corie says:

    You think he should get a gun? Because a blog posted something you don’t like.
    Wow.

  4. HectorFranco says:

    First of all, I have to give credit to Bonlender for issuing this opology so quickly. We must all remember that politics is a dirty business and Mr. Smith is does not mince words when it comes to his paper.

    But I guess, settling a discussion in the Old West was often done with a gun. For some folks some things are hard to let go.

    Jarhead, traveling on a public street and free speech, without more, are protected activities and you would have a hard time getting a judge to issue a restraining order, unless of course, he was part of your posse.

  5. Neal says:

    Hector, your previous posts sometimes showed promise of thoughtful interaction. Joining the Socialist Democrats in name calling is a step backwards.

  6. Drew says:

    Hector, neal just doesn’t want us criticizing “good republicans”, because they are not allowed that privilege either. neal also admonished you for name calling, while labeling you a Socialist Democrat, which he would hope everyone thinks is a slam of some sort. If you watch any news at all today, the biggest slam you can lay on someone is to call them a republican.
    I’m not sure who he thinks is a Socialist Democrat on here, but I am also very sure that there haven’t been any in the news lately taking off for the Appalachian Trail (via Argentina). Just sayin’…

  7. Neal says:

    Drew…would you like to bet whether or not you lose seats in the mid-term congressional elections? I have $500.00 says you lose seats…care to put your money where your mouth is? This to the party that is “circling the drain”?

    And Drew..are you really to chickenshit to address me yourself?

  8. Neal says:

    Oops…that would be “too”

  9. Neal says:

    And…according to Drew..Looks like “Socialist Democrat” ISN’T a slam… must be a badge he wears proudly…

    Well, time for bed here in Florida…

  10. HectorFranco says:

    Neal,

    Your lable calling does not mean “(sh..)anything to me.

    I’m glad you caught that Neal, because Jarhead was making no sense and all I was doing was trying to educate him and bring him into reality of today. I fear that he has been playing too many simplistic video games.

    With that demonstrated level of brain capacity left (most smart republicans have turned independent) I doubt that Republicans will win anything.

  11. Neal says:

    Well, Hector, if you have confidence in your “doubt”, you can take the bet instead of Drew.

  12. jarden says:

    HectorFranco,
    Learn to read moron, it’s jarden. Thanks for the “education”. Would you like to start the brain capacity competition with a reading comprehension test? How about spelling?

    Drew,
    Criticism is one thing, peeking through someone’s window to see what might or might not be in their office (and then making false accusations) is tresspassing. Bonlender seems to have a perverse fixation with Smith and if I were Smith it would make me uncomfortable. I knew you libs would pounce on the gun remark – predictability is comforting when dealing with socialists. Better a right wing nutbag than a left wing p***y.

  13. HectorFranco says:

    Jarden,

    I called you a JARHEAD because you were making no sense. Neal got it but I guess you did not.

    And while we are at it; peeking through someone’s window and then making false accusations is not tresspassing. It may be to you, nutbag, but that is not Washington State’s legal definition of trespassing.

    Better a right wing nutbag, hu? All I can say is have at it and good luck.

    Neal,

    You are on with the bet. Now, I guess you would like me to give you my credit card numbers….

  14. Neal says:

    No, Hector…My word is my bond. I assume yours is too.

  15. Neal says:

    And, Hector, if I lose, I’ll be paying with a personal check. Gambling on credit (lose now-pay later) is a Democrat principle.

  16. jarden says:

    Hector,
    I’ll direct a few Marines to your comment and see what they have to say about your definition of a Jarhead. Peek through my window and see what it gets you.

    Neal,
    When you win the bet, I’d be happy to collect for you.

  17. HectorFranco says:

    Jarden,

    My definition of a jarhead is empty space between the ears and I have no interest whatsoever in “peeking” through your windows.

    Now you would have the Marines after me. More of the same vigilante mentality. The Marines that I know would say that the Marines have better things to do.

    Neal, I am sure that you also would not need someone with an attitude to collect for you….?

    (In the unlikely event that I was to lose)

    And nothing personal, but lets just agree on cold hard cash.

  18. jarden says:

    Hector,

    Your ability to define things as you see fit is both enlightening of the thought process of libs and full of crap. You’re right, the Marines have better things to do like defending our great country against all enemies foreign and domestic. But, I wouldn’t expect a hug-a-terrorist lib to understand such things as service to country. Also, I doubt you know any Marines.

    P.S. There’s a difference between keeping trash off my property and being a vigilante.

  19. mainstreeter says:

    Jar Head, How is it ‘trespassing”? Ron said he saw the filth from the street, ya know? No need to ‘peek’ in and face a paranoid pimp like BS who might be packing.

  20. jarden says:

    mainstreeter,

    The Jarhead thing is getting lamer by the minute. Come up with a tag that’s at least a little more offensive. For example, I think I’ll call you Pinky from now on. Hector can be Webster for his remarkable ability to redefine common-use words and his creative spelling.

    Trespassing, stalking, whatever. My point was that Bonlender has a disturbing fixation with Smith. Not to speak for someone else, but I doubt Mr. Smith is paranoid. I would guess he gives as much weight to Bonlender’s opinion as he does to a yappy little chihuahua.

    Have a great day, Pinky. You too, Webster.

  21. mainstreeter says:

    I think you have it backwards, BS has a disturbing fascination with Yakima politics and open meetings act. As long as he is in business, we will follow him around.

    It would seem you have a disturbing fascination with guns.
