||| FROM ROBERT WAUNCH |||
Choosing what or who to vote for is really a very easy process. You can either vote along straight party lines the way you always have … or this time … you can look at the facts and vote for the candidates and issues that will try to solve all the problems we presently have. It’s simply a matter of looking at the facts, not your feelings or what you’ve always done in the past.
Here’s a simple guide that might help you make the right decisions:
- Do you want to continue runaway inflation?
- Do you want bigger and bigger government?
- Do you want more totally incompetent government administrators?
- Do you want a government that won’t set a budget?
- Do you want more lockdowns?
- Do you want more violations of your constitutional rights?
- Do you want the FBI, Justice Department and IRS to persecute you because you may have the wrong politics?
- Do you want more and more government telling you everything you can and cannot do?
- Do you want more and more regulations that stifle small businesses?
- Do you want the government and media to continue to sensor any opinions they don’t like?
- Do you want judges and administrators making laws instead of your elected representatives?
- Do you want your doctor to lose his license because he doesn’t agree with a politician’s decision?
- Do you want more and more homeless people?
- Do you want more and more deaths from drugs?
- Do you want more and more crime and lawlessness?
- Do you want to continue dumbing down our children in the Public School System?
- Do you want woke ideologies in the schools, universities and corporations?
- Do you want totally open borders?
- Do you want to believe that the world will end in 10 years unless we all switch to electricity?
- Do you want the military to teach diversity and woke ideology instead of preparing for combat?
- Do you want more disasters like the withdrawal from Afghanistan?
- Do you want to have a ‘one world’ government controlled by a few wealthy elites that dictate how you live your life?
- Do you want the total destruction of our country, society and laws?
Or you can truthfully look at what’s happened in the last two years and Vote for a change.

Spot on, Bob. A chance to change to a better course- be independent instead of following either party line.
Just the facts, ma’am.
We need a huge turnout to overcome any slight chance of fraud…
The questionsyou pose do
ooops
The Truth spoken eloquently finally. Thank you Robert. Blessings, and Peace to you and yours. Spirit Eagle.
Good list, Bob. This quote comes to mind: “Insanity Is Doing the Same Thing Over and Over Again and Expecting Different Results.” The quote often credited to Albert Einstein.
Mr Waunch, what you describe is not the country we grew up in, but it is the direction progressive democrats are taking us.
Ms Hoague’s analysis, intentional or not, is spot on: OOOPS – indeed!!
Wow Mr. Waunch. Where do you live? None of the things you are commenting about affects my family here on beautiful Orcas Island. We live and work locally. Food and fuel is a bit more expensive, but well worth the cost of living here. You must soak up news from elsewhere.
I completely agree with the new masthead on this site — VOTE AS IF YOUR FREEDOM DEPENDS ON IT.
I would add – also your life savings, your children’s and grandchildren’s future, and your life itself.
The current administration has announced that it will no longer comply with a nuclear weapon no-first-strike policy.

What are they thinking?
Hi Bob,
Don’t you think we need to look at a minimum of at least the last six years to decide the issues you bring up? These societal issues did not suddenly appear in the last two years. They have been on going for some time as anyone who has been paying attention knows.
The answer to every question on this ridiculous list is clearly “no.” That’s obvious. But does that provide any guidance about how to vote? Not a bit. This screed is nothing more than a regurgitation of all of the extreme right’s favorite lies and distortions.
I am surprised that Mr. Cohen’s comment was accepted by the editor. I share Mr. Waunch’s concern about the direction of our nation, as do many reasonable citizens regardless of party preference.
“Extreme right” is nothing more than an ad-hominem personal attack and a slur. You should apologize.
Amanda is absolutely correct… these problems didn’t happen on the current county council team’s watch. Get it right. Beware of those who misrepresent the issue for political gain. The problems of the day are very much a result of past electorates quick-fix, knee-jerk reactionary efforts, and it is that which has has led us to the point where we are at today. Pushing blame away from those who actually caused the problem for political reasons is shallow and misleading. In spite of all the political posturing of the moment, if you think for one minute that the “old” council would be promoting anything different than this one… you live in a different reality.
That being said, do the roads, and culverts need upgrading? Yes. But, with 20,000 people living in a county that hosts well over a million tourists a year it leaves no doubt in my mind as to who should be paying for it. If you’re going to kill us with over-tourism, (and to deal with all the resultant problems, and the expensive infrastructure that this type of business model requires), then you could at least make them pay for it.
