   As an unfortunate resident of the state of Oregon, I can sadly attest to the fact that Ron Wyden has always been a leftist weasel.

   But with a moribund Republican Party here, he’ll just go on being a leftist weasel.

   what does that even mean? Did he read the bill as a ‘rap’? Did he ‘scat’?

   I’m guessing this particular piece of legislation will go by the way side after November whether he wins or loses.

   If he loses, the Republican will vote against, if he wins, he hold it in reserve for the 2012 election.

   Crap Weasel of the month.

    His campaign ads are touting his “opposition” to the Wall Street bailouts. I don’t think any of us are naïve enough to mistake him for a moderate.

    Oregon already has a health plan for individuals whose Cobbra expires (as myself) which is self -funded and fair.

    I will be voting for Hoffman. Any vote for any Democrat is a vote for Pelosi.

    Whyden is in somewhat of close election I hear…I naturally will be voting for Mr. Hoffman, he is an extremely intelligent man who says he was forced into running because of who and what Whyden (misspelled intentionally) is.
    Lot of us Oregonians don’t even believe Whyden lives in Oregon anymore. He married a wealthy woman a few years back with proprerty in N.Y. Whyden owns, what he claims is his residence a 1000 sq, ft condo in Oregon. Now where would you live if you had choice, a 1000 sq. ft. condo or a plush apartment in NYC?

    I know the mandate is being fought on basic Constitutional grounds…

    Are there any lawsuits out there based on Equal Protection of the Law, or Freedom of Religion grounds as it specificly allows Muslims, Amish, and others, to opt out?

    Post-it notes are innovative…Camera phones are innovative… This health care garbage is nothing more than road kill! He wants his own state to be exempt??? You rotten piece of …

    Jim Huffman is the Republican candidate who is running against Wyden in the Oregon Senate race.

    Learn more about Jim Huffman at his campaign website:

    http://www.huffmanforsenate.com/home.html

    Conservatives need to be fighting for every single seat in the House and the Senate.

    As we learned this week with Joe Miller, incumbents in supposedly safe seats can be VOTED OUT OF OFFICE.

    In this era of viral videos, you never know when a safe seat will turn into a lost seat!

    . The mandate was a feature of Wyden’s own health care bill but has proved to be remarkably unpopular among voters.

    So many democrats need to start carrying a bottle of ketchup to put on their feet. It might help them to taste better.

    And they are WAAAAAY to wimpy for hot sauce!

    Now, he’s not so sure he wants to impose it on his own constituents — and he’s searching for an exemption for his state.

    Well your head’s already up one, just keep crawling!

    We are trying! We are trying! But there are so few conservatives here in the People’s Republic of Oregon that we can all have dinner at the same Burger King at the same time.

    Off the subject, did I mention here in Beaverton,Oregon the city is sponsoring a celebration of Mexico’s independence from Spain on September 16, 2010 yet they have never sponsored a celebration of American Independence?

    Good lord,the stupid is strong in this state’s polititians.

    I heard Lars interview the mayor and she showed herself to a complete moron.

    In order to defeat Wyden, you have to overcome the entire city of Portland and the Willamette valley university towns. Not an easy task.

    Rinse/repeat

    Therein lies the rub. If you want to keep your job, look at the polls and flip with them. He is interested (as are ALL pol’s) in one thing only – keeping his job. He will flop again as soon as he is reelected. It’s a disease that needs a cure.

    Wyden is also miserable on the illegal immigration (+drugs, gangs, and related violence issues). He is another transplant from the east coast — albeit, some 25 years ago or so.

    A press release from OFIR (Oregonians for Immigration Reform) from this morning:

    OFIR members and supporters:

    We have reported on almost a weekly basis the growing trend of Mexican drug cartels to use our national forests as marijuana plantations. This all comes as news to our esteemed U.S. Senator Ron Wyden. Senator Wyden is quoted in the Baker City Herald, as saying, (see article below), “The federal government doesn’t realize what is going on with these sophisticated foreign gangs and criminal organizations.” This from a Senator who has voted for every amnesty and in opposition to securing our borders.

    How is it that average citizens know about the problems of out of control illegal immigration but our U.S. Senator and his ruling oligarchy in Washington DC are unaware?

    Wyden said he will work with DOD officials to raise awareness and to keep funding for National Guard helicopters used to locate pot grows on federal lands and is quoted again as saying, “The environmentalists ought to be with us every step of the way, because these pot grows are devastating to the resources.” One would think so.

    We need to replace the out of touch elitists in the U.S. Senate starting with Ron Wyden. OFIR PAC endorses Jim Huffman.

    For reference: Huffman’s website

    Heard Lars Larson talk about this. There are a few more of us conservatives here in Central Oregon. Even our paper, the Bend Bulletin supports the right. Wyden is obviously a carpet bagger and has to go. Not likely, unless we see an amazingly Republican landslide.

    I was talking with a friend who WAS a Democrat. He rarely ever voted in midterms. Not this time. He, his wife and daughter are all voting in November and for All Republicans. He is seeing just what Progressivism means.
