State should get out of primary business

SCOTT MARSHALL; Lakewood
Published: Tacoma News Tribune, September 15th, 2006 01:00 AM

It may be that the rules for the Washington primary election have changed (TNT, 9-13), and the blanket primary is a thing of the past. But I will be one of those with a ballot that does not indicate my party preference.

It is not only my right, but my duty to cast my ballot for the candidate I believe best qualified for each position. It may be a Democrat, a Republican or an independent. If the blanket primary has been ruled unconstitutional, I support a third option: Eliminate the primary completely. The nonpartisan elections and ballot measures can be moved to the November ballot. In this way, perhaps our partisan parties can select the candidate they believe is best suited for the job.

This seems a preferable alternative to holding a party-specific popularity contest (on the taxpayers’ dime) to find out which politician voters would prefer.

Your mother and father are correct.. . With out school,
you wouldn't know how to count numbers or? speak English extremely properly. . . Realistically speaking, every person requirements school simply because what are you currently going to complete without having a formal schooling? There are no career potential clients. . . I'm
a med student, and I worked extremely hard in High College and
College to acquire the required grades. Should you cannot adapt and do not possess a
competitive spirit, you won't get anywhere. You are able to complain and cry all you want. ,

I'm not sure that Robertson has admitted any such point. He also wrote of Havel:"But he was also concerned that his demands for the truth, to lift the Stalinist miasma that had wearily settled over Czechoslovakia, might eventually challenge the democratic socialism in which he believed"It just sounds like more in the leftist liberal progressive refrain that the failures of socialism are only cos it wasn't
done proper.That nasty Stalin merely spoiled a noble plan.
..And notice the self-laudatory peons for the "rainbow coalition" of leftists this kind of Robertson himself, Harold Pinter and self-described timid-libertarian' Stoppard.

You could nevertheless prep it all and just put the veggies in a 2nd
bag and tape it on the 1 with meat or make use of a separate bag for that veggies inside the meat bag.
That way you nevertheless do not have that considerably work to
do the day you use the meal. I also believe that it truly has a great deal
to do using the crock pot as well. Mine is
just genuinely hot and cooks rapidly so I've to cut the time down on it.
