It's more than a little ironic teachers choose now to agitate for particular legislation--in the new post-Democrat Olympia monopoly era. Gimme a break. As for your stated/desired version of "democracy" in the form of initiatives (mob rule) and state supreme court dictates (a directory), well, I hardly think your version of democracy passes any American history test on republican government. Yet another reason American libs can't be trusted with the torch. I honestly hope teachers do walk out en masse at some point in the future. I'll be even happier to see their union broken as a result of the public backlash that follows.

A clear voter mandate? Hardly. I1351 passed with 50.8% of the vote. Supporters (the teacher's union) spent $ 5million; opponents spent $ zero. What's more, this so-called mandate provided no funding. $ zero. Finally, the still-phantom House budget--with tax increases--does not fund I1351 either. We don't need tax increases just to give teachers a raise or to fund a utopian ballot initiative that Seattle voters passed without funding ala monorail. And McCleary will be paid for with the additional $3Bn in growth revenue. Geeeez, is it even possible for Democrats to budget our money? And where were all these Democrats, say, during the last 30 years when they had complete control of Olympia? Where was the teacher outrage? This is all just political. Shame on teachers for putting their ideology and greed ahead of kids. I've taken the rare step of writing my Republican State Senator and my one Republican Rep to remind them that they are expected to reject any proposed tax increases beyond the justified 11 cent gas tax they have already agreed to.

Reality can be a real bitch when you're a libtard.

Scott Walker for president!

DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND, IF YOU DON'T GIVE TEACHERS MORE MONEY YOUR KIDS ARE GOING TO END UP IN PRISON YES IT REALLY IS THIS SIMPLE.

Holding kids hostage to get taxes raised on everyone else to get a raise. Classy. Don't forget: IT'S FOR THE KIDS.

Insults. Good fall back. Whatever, that was not my original premise--the economics angle on the election was yours. And in any event, the whole Keynes-Hayek thang is not likely to be sorted out by you or I. Love the irony with Jimbo referring to free-dumb, as if he isn't an example of the adjective following the hyphen. Never underestimate a libtard's sense of self-importance.

I agree. When is Democrat Troy Kelly going to be impeached? http://q13fox.com/2015/05/12/push-to-impeach-state-auditor-kelley/

Oh, I've argued the "stupid voter" excuse is over-played by both sides. Given the facts, however, they aren't obviously voting on economic motivations - least not for the majority of the public. Here in the US it can come down to "other" factors -- a perception of freedom (WTF that means is anyone's guess), social policy (hate the nigras, homos, and baby-killers) or perception of our leaders (...he's a muslim!) Comments like this are more revealing about the liberal mind than any sort of broad-based reality. What you seem to say here is that you don't believe voters who disagree with you are stupid, rather, that they must be bigoted, racist, homophobic.

Not at all. I'm just pointing out that what you're saying makes no sense. The lib's "stupid voter" meme has to cut both ways to be valid.

So, naturally, Brits voted for more lethargy? I think not. You're swallowing an MSNBC fantasy.

". . . accepted economic theory . . ." Um, nice try. If you mean "Keynesian economic theory widely accepted by modern liberals for now as a placeholder in lieu of the end goal being centralized control," then, yes.

You mean Hillary without all the corruption?

Kk and I read gay porn by the campfire while Bob masturbates our horses.

Looks like things are leaning center-right in a big way. Listening to Brit leftards cry on NPR last night. "Voters just didn't understand our message." No, they understood your message--and rejected it.

No you live in Enumclaw. I am sure you had something to do with this: horse sex case Nope, not Enumclaw. The horse thing is pretty old news; probably, like, everyday stuff back in the home country, eh?

No you don't live there, but you live close enough to foul the water for people of all political affiliations Like Democrat Troy Kelly?

Black bears matter!

Troy Kelly is a Democrat. The Kalakala was a Seattle hardon that never produced. Kinda like the monorail extension. Oh yea, I don't live in Tacoma. Never have. Sorry, genius.

Over the years I have become more and more convinced that all bears are anarchists.

Libtard temper tantrums are always entertaining--particularly when they first discover that the puzzle pieces they have so carefully crafted inside their little brains don't fit together to form a complete picture.

i thought liberals were all P.C. and stuff Today's libtards are full of hate. Fine examples from almost every libtard on this board. Their new motto: PC for thee, but not for me.
