The Business Journal's endorsements for the Nov. 2 Election
October 4, 2004 @ 12:00am | The KPBJ

President: Jimmy Buffett
George Bush has made a mess in Iraq, has no real exit strategy, alienated our traditional allies and diminished our standing in the world. He still doesn’t have a firm handle on the war against terror — which is far more critical to our long-term security and survival than anything else, including Iraq — and he has restricted our freedoms with the Patriot Act. read more »

 
Some interesting asides to the governor's race
October 4, 2004 @ 12:00am | Adele Ferguson

Well, the daughter of the short order cook beat the son of a minister in the Democratic runoff for governor. She’ll go up against the Republican son of a waitress Nov. 2.

Some of the pitches for high office this year sounded more like scripts for a soap opera. Poor Chris Gregoire hardly knew her father but she never told us why. Maybe he was like Indiana Jones’ father, who was so busy trying to track down the Holy Grail, Indiana was spending his spare time with all sorts of unsavory characters. Gregoire also had to toil her way through college. read more »

October 4, 2004 @ 12:00am | The KPBJ

This is a brief response to Connie Christman, President, Puget Rental Owners Association, in the September KPBJ.

Yes, indeed, I searched the Bremerton Sun’s classified ads for rentals under $400. There were no results returned by search engine . Fairly typical income for persons in public housing is around $500/month. read more »

 
McMahon
October 4, 2004 @ 12:00am | The KPBJ

The purpose of an election is to choose the most popular candidate. Voting across Party lines to land a weaker candidate of the Primary into the General Election has cost us our freedom of voting independently in the Primary.

Now people are stealing signs! Candidates should be allowed to post their signs. If you don’t like them, then remember in November. But don’t steal signs. read more »

 
Against Rossi
October 4, 2004 @ 12:00am | The KPBJ

I am amused that Dino Rossi is trying to bolster his stature with Washington voters by producing his father’s employment as a Seattle Public School teacher. A working class background is always appreciated in a candidate, however, Mr. Rossi as much as he touts his father’s job as a qualification for his own governorship has done much to undercut teachers across the state. read more »

 
For Rossi
October 4, 2004 @ 12:00am | The KPBJ

Dino Rossi is the only acceptable choice for governor in this election.

Chris Gregoire and the Democrats have done so much to hurt our state in the last 20 years that I have to wonder why a thinking person would ever consider voting for her.

Remember, it was $18 million of OUR money that she lost because she couldn’t meet a deadline. Then she tried to cover it up. When that didn’t work, rather than take responsibility, she made someone in her office into a scapegoat. read more »
