Dear Steve: We understand you're probably at least mildly discombobulated, a little upset, about the results in the primary for the Bellevue city council, but you need to know, big guy, it wasn't personal.....Oh Hell.
When did the big guy ever pay attention to anything franksolich said?
So screw a letter, and exposit instead.
The big guy, more than any other primitive, past and present, was pummeled, raked over the coals, by decent and civilized people. It's true. While run-of-the-mill primitives get nothing but a feather banged on their shoulder, a beating no harsher than that, the big guy got a wooden popsicle-stick rapped on his shoulder.
This was a result of the Sarah Palin rule, new for 2012, in which it was decreed that if the primitives did it to the Republican vice-presidential candidate in 2008, it was okay for decent and civilized people to do it to any primitive from Skins's island running for a public office.
We all know how the primitives treated Sarah Palin, no holds barred, nothing held back, cheap shots, rumors, weird speculations, harassment, name-calling, mud flung, innuendos, &c., &c., &c.
The primitives wrote the Sarah Palin rule in use here; if the primitives think the DUmpster was unfair or uncalled-for, in the case of the big guy, well.....the primitives were the ones who wrote the rule, and we were the ones who followed that rule.
The primitives got only themselves to blame, for how the big guy was mildly castigated here.
If primitives have second thoughts about
their own rule, the Sarah Palin rule, well, the primitives are free to change it.
By example; the primitives lead, we follow.
If the primitives during this upcoming presidential campaign stick with the issues, avoid smearing, do no character-assassinating, passing on no unfounded malicious rumors, well then, we in the DUmpster will follow, treating primitives running for public offices in the same manner--sticking with the issues, avoiding smearing, refraining from character-assassination, squelching unfounded malicious rumors.
It's the primitives' call. They treat our candidates a certain way, we'll treat their candidates exactly the same way. If the primitives take the high road, well, we'll take the high road right behind them.
If the primitives take the low road, where anything goes, well.....
Actually, it needs added that at no time was the big guy handled by the DUmpster anywhere near as roughly as Sarah Palin had been handled by the primitives on Skins's island. It's true a little bit of mud was flung from this side, some names were called, wild unfounded speculations were stated.....but to a considerably lesser magnitude.
I recall a conversation with a friend of the big guy--one of those involved with creation of
www.electstevedawes.com--in which he commented, "You know, we could've posted stuff, his own stuff, that would've made him look even sillier, but then we decided, nah....."
Our Christian charity and compassion restrains us. The big guy could've really been walloped here, but he wasn't.
