Oregon is doomed. That is just a fact. It has been attracting people with certain political views for the last 30 years. It is irredeemable by now.
Damn Portlandia!

...If they liked far right conservatism they'd be registered as Republicans...
2.5 Milion voters, 2 Million actually voted in the last general election. Dem 960K, Rep 700K. That leaves 400K that voted, and 900K that could have voted, that were neither Republicans nor Democrats. 700K plus 400K is 1100K that could have voted Republican. It's all about the 900K voters that don't like either the Reps or Dems.Over and over they post the vote totals of the dems and the repub but hardly ever post the total votes in the election. How many total voters?
Let's say it's 95% true. It doesn't change the outcome.Though this statement may be mostly true, it is not 100%. I have proof!
If there's any frustration expressed on this site about your comments, it's due to your defeatist attitude.This site hates me for my vicious truth but ever since the spotted owl the democrat's have run this state, over 30 years. Rather than bringing the truth of how dems have managed the decline of Oregon rather than building for its people they would rather go along and get along to not hurt feelings. It's offensive to find out the party you are in is those responsible for the poor shape the states in. Its' sad when folks dont' stand up for truth but it's going to bite them in the but as they go along with those stealing their guns.
Anyway enough of politics, it's more important to be able to order someone to bake your cake than keeping your guns
Well said!Voter apathy, and i'm going to bet a bunch ( several we know here) will simply toss the vote, or chicken out and write in Daffy Duck!
The people who COULD give us all a chance to tip the Brown Apple cart will simple come on here and Rant about how they are voting their higher morals, and their conscious, and damn US for the results! I name those Members COWARDS! There is a chance to do something, but they ride their high horse instead of putting aside their feelings and do what is right for the republic, and worse, they continue to rant on about it after the fact! These are the same folks who will hand the win to Kate in the belief that their vote doesn't matter! You members know who you are, don't pretend your not, just stay out of these threads and let the real Boys and and Girls fight the fight, cause your too Cowardly to act for the good of the republic, and thusly you are Traitors to all, you fail to stand when needed to protect and defend something greater then your selves, SHAME ON YOU!
The candidate whose image is most moderate will win. And here's why, they will get the vast majority of the 45% in the middle, and (hopefully) all of their party base. The Democrats are only 35% of total voters. The Republicans have 30% of total voters. Neither party can win without a majority of the non-affiliated, independent voters. Why are they independent? Because they don't like either party. So they will vote for the candidate that is LEAST like his or her own party. That's not Carpenter or Brown. That is Buehler. Buehler can win, but only if the Republican base votes for him.
Election outcome wasn't reported right in my opinion, they left out us independent voters. We are not allowed to vote for a Republican so thousands of votes were never made. The vote in Nov is a hot button issue that's going to cost the people of Oregon. Bloomberg and Soros will pump money into democrat tv adds and the posters will be calling every independent asking how they will vote.
Kate has the money to buy the election but democrats better think hard if they want her to win. If she wins it will motivate voters to fight back in other states.
So why not switch registration to the Republican party ahead of the primary, cast your vote, then switch back? That's what I did - I'm a non-affiliated voter and as did a number of others on this site, made sure to register R before the cutoff deadline so I could have a say in the primary. Then I switch back. It's really easy to do and allows non-affiliated, Independents, etc. a chance to have a voice in who gets the nomination for one of the two big parties.
^ Agreed. Philosophically, I am very much a libertarian (note small l). However, I am registered Republican so that I can vote in the primaries, as that party often is more closely aligned with my views than anything the DNC fields. And switching affiliation is a piece of cake, though I haven't found any need to do so.
Too say the least

I can't waitI'd imagine that with current powder charges rounds would be considerably zippier on the moon. And the 5.7mm would make more sense, since ice picking one's space suit would likely be a fast fight stopper
I can't wait
I agree with all of that. Thanks^. This.
To be candid, I wasn't enthused about any of the candidates of any party. I rarely am in this state. But one thing is for sure: Brown has got to go. And not just for a 2A rights, but for so many other reasons.
Say what you will about Buehler, and I grant there are some negatives, he can offer three things:
Perfect candidate? Hardly. But the alternative is a nightmare.
- He's stated he will not enforce IP-43 in the unlikely chance it becomes law. You can bet your behind Brown will and Carpenter said he would, but that is a moot point now. Buehler said: "It's not constitutional ... And that's what it takes being a leader, is to stand up and say, 'These things are wrong.'"
- It is exceedingly unlikely Buehler will burn up political capital, going against his own party, to enact major gun measures. Brown has been quite open she will do whatever she can to destroy our rights. In the legislature, he voted against two nasty gun control measures, while Brown signed both into law.
- He has at least the chance to appear as a sane, moderate, forward-thinking option, in stark contrast to an extremist who often appears to be unhinged from reality.
