Ken Schram Commentary: I'm Ignoring The Rants

January 7, 2005

By Ken Schram

SEATTLE - People keep asking me: How could I have voted for Dino Rossi and yet be so willing to just roll over on the way Christine Gregoire is making her way to the Governor's mansion.

It's a fair question.

The answer: Because I'm a pragmatist.

I'm a pragmatist despite the rumors, innuendos and half-truths being spread by Republican big-wigs.

I guess they figure that if they repeat stupid things incessantly, they'll begin to sound smart.

~snip~

Republican chair Chris Vance - or as he's coming to be known, Chris Rants - has grossly exploited those voting problems, while the who-gives-a-damn-about-facts folks on conservative talk radio have built a mantra around it all.

Saw this during dinner, this guy's coming unpeeled. There's no video, just a pic, but one look at this fool's face and you can see we're leaving marks...don't forget to share your thoughts with him.

[GVnana]

He's asking for it!

[Clint Williams]

Lemme see... Gregoire said something to the effect that law permits them to do (whatever) and that they'd be remiss to the voters if they didn't (follow though).... I heard John Carlson quote this earlier but don't remember it exactly. Anyone have the quote???

[William Tell]

"Pragmatist" is not how I would describe someone willing to tolerate a county reporting four thousand more votes than they have registered voters.

[GW and Twins Pawpaw]

I thought King County was supposed to provide an updated list today of the qualified, registered voters for the November 2 election? Did they release it and the numbers not jive? I sure am glad I live in Texas where we don't have those kinds of problems...:-)

Schram is counting on the fact that the RAT controlled media will not let the cat out of the bag as to the extent of "mistakes" that have been commited to undermine the election process in Washington State. He is counting on a misinformed public who hates conservative radio, the news, politics, christians, capitalism, and Republicans (I could go on). He is hoping they will not wake up to the future that Schram and his ilk would allow to come in the Evergreen State.

What Schram does not know is that this election was a wake up call for voters in this state we call the Evergreen State. The great Northwest Spirit has awakened. The spirit of the outdoors--the logger--is ready to take on this monster that has taken away the will of the people.

Schram does not care that a small group of anarchists have caused the will of the electorate to be sabotage. He is a mouthpiece for the DemonRAT machine that rules from King (Ukraine) County. He does not care about those activities that have been going on in the election process for years that have had huge effects on the outcomes. He is a product of the DemonRAT machine. His purpose is the perpetuate that machine. His function is to hide from the public the truth and sweep it under the rug. Schram does not care as long as his hype keeps his huge KOMO salary rolling in. If he can continue throwing pap out to the sheeple, he is good as gold. The will of the electorate be damned--full speed ahead for the machine.

He knows that if the true extent of election manipulations were to be known, you would have a melt-down in the confidence of the public in our most basic freedom: the right to vote. When confidence has been destroyed than you will lose the participation by the electorate in the election of those servants who will determine our future; we will have something so evil that it would nullify the fight for freedom that countless have sacrificed their lives to win. We would have selection instead of election. And with that there will be no justice. Freedom without justice is no freedom.

I'll bet some of what you said is true, but I think you've given him way too much credit. I don't think he has thought far enough to come to the conclusions you do.

Schram doesn't do homework. He is not the kind to have ever had trouble with deadlines. He just rants.

[sarah_f]

Schram has an IQ of 40. Attempting to work around that fact, he issues outrageous comments with great bravado and bluster.

The man has a face that even crack ho's on Rainier don't want to know.

[jonrick46]

He has the qualities of a cult leader. They have been known to say some pretty stupid things like, "We are all going down to the Santa Monica Piers and wait for the mothership!"

[Finalapproach29er]

The answer: Because I'm a pragmatist.

In other words, a gutless coward with no core belief system.

I bet the guy's a metrosexual, with blow-dried hair. ICK.

Instead of reconciling the 8500 extra votes by today as promised, CGore had a press conference where she literaly said that dead voting isn't illegal (tvw.org has the video for sale or a free audio), The Seattle Slimes had an article about how dead votes aren't always illegal, numerous Dim legislators have flat said it doesn't matter, it didn't happen, no one saw it happen, and we all got to get past it. Meanwhile, a great deal more fraud has been uncovered, including felons voting, double voters exposed, hundreds of provisional ballots co mingled with regular ones and many other broken laws at every single step.

Just yesterday, Paul Berendt & CGore tried to calm the waters by accusing military families of lying, making their uniformed sons and daughters lie, and us orchestrating the entire thing.

And then there's Ken. I hear he's a leg wetter.

And then there's Ken. I hear he's a leg wetter.

LOL

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

Actually, he's a sort of unattractive, chubby thing with acne scars all over his face...and yet, the most unattractive thing about him is his liberal position on just about everything.

[Lancey Howard]

Most of the "old media" organs (big-city newspapers) were quick to jump into the "it's over, now let us heal and move forward" mode. They are now writing matter-of-factly about Gregoire's agenda, plans, and personnel selections, etc., while downplaying vote-fraud news and relegating Republican protests to incidental paragraphs in their daily "Governor-elect Gregoire" stories. All mention of Dino Rossi will lessen graduallly every day until it finally disappears altgether in the hope that Rossi and the tainted election will simply fade from the public's memory.

In the olden days, this strategy would have worked for the Democrats and their allies in the liberal newsrooms. No doubt about it. Nowadays, however, the most important question for Washingtonians is: How strong is talk radio in your state? Your talk radio outlets will mean all the difference in the world when it comes to next week's rally, to public opinion in general, and to the eventual explosion of the election theft scandal.

Of course, Washington may be hopelessly corrupt to the core and there's nothing anybody can do about it anyway.

[Political Junkie Too]

The big fly in that ointment is yesterdays temper tantrum in the Congress. People should start applying the Democrats statements in Congress to Washington State and demand that they take real action, and not just pontificate in order to bash Bush.

And he's on TV?
Surprising. Everyone I see on TV is at least moderately good appearance.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

Well, I report, you decide:

Here's another good one. His skin looks better in this pic:

I've shared my thoughts with him on too many occasions, because now I am blocked by his filter, apparently... ;0)

I must be doing something right.

[Chad Fairbanks]

And then there's Ken. I hear he's a leg wetter.

I'd laugh, if that were actually a joke... but it's not ;0)
