Smith Endorses '08 McCain Supporter

Congressman Adam Smith (D) stepped into the middle of the City of Newcastle council campaign, even though the candidate he endorsed, John Drescher, donated hundreds of dollars to the John McCain (R) presidential campaign, according to reliable reports.  Smith is obviously worried about Mark Greene's probable official entry into the 2014 U.S. Congress election, as Greene is the other candidate in the Newcastle council election.  Smith, probably realizes, along with former King County elections official, Dean Logan, and the current director, Sherril Huff, that the 2004 G.O.P. primary for U.S. Representative (Washington, 9th District) was stolen from Mark Greene by an unknown miscreant or miscreants -- and that election officials were never able to get to the bottom of it, not that they tried very hard or at all (Huff, however, wasn't at King County in 2004) -- and thus the election has been shrouded in controversy ever since 2010 when Greene discovered, through unofficial election watcher Bev Harris' reports, and alternative news, that an electronic voting tabulation audit log was missing (after Greene led the vote in 2 of 3 counties on election night, and the overall vote was practically tied) and never accounted for.  There's more to the story than that.  Smith, more worried about the truth of that election coming out just in time for 2014 (the mainstream media has been doing their best to keep a lid on a steaming pot as it tenuously bounces up and down), than Greene's non-corporate financed unofficial campaign, is beside himself with anxiety.  Smith wants to hold onto his "tenure" in Congress, as Mark Greene's "common person" politics catches on in the new 9th District.

Washington's Most Rightist Democrat: "Mr. Smith," a la Jimmy Stewart, He's Not

This is Not "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" by Any Stretch of the Imagination Despite a recent council campaign, I have plenty of energy to continue a different campaign for U.S. representative that will bring the people's constitutional rights to the forefront, among other matters.  The rightist Democrat, Adam Smith, will soon have to explain the stolen election of '04 (even as an unwitting beneficiary, he likely knows something), his votes for keeping the status quo of an overreaching, intrusive N.S.A. that is clamping down on the Bill of Rights instead of ensuring the checks and balances he has sworn an oath to do, his vote for doing away with habeas corpus (our right to judicial review if we are jailed) through the National Defense Authorization Act, his willingness to keep America in interventionist mode, his so-called free trade mantra that has kept America under the yoke of internationalist regimes and...

Smith and Drescher

Rep. Adam Smith Endorses a Card-Carrying Republican   People who don't ordinarily follow Newcastle, Washington politics aren't going to know this, pretty much, but Representative Adam Smith, Democrat from Washington state, actually endorsed a card-carrying Republican, John Drescher, for Newcastle City Council.  Drescher supported George W. Bush and John McCain, respectively, in two recent presidential elections (2004 & 2008).  Smith is the same rightist Democrat (the kind of Democrats also known as "Blue Dogs") who benefitted from the other curious election of 2004, though unwittingly. Smith's voting record is like a dream to America's far right wing, shown here as follows: Congressman Adam Smith has voted for the following (pretty much not in accordance with his district): the national defense authorization act proviso that ends Habeas Corpus (judicial review for persons who are jailed), even for Ame...
