"WW: Why did you agree to get involved with the recall?

Gordly: I remain convinced that Portland voters should have an opportunity to decide whether the mayor should stay in office."

Opportunity to decide? Wasn't that the original recall effort? Wasn't that an epic fail?

Great, Gordly. You've aligned yourself with a duplicitous and wormy little nerdball who, at this point, has less integrity than the man under fire from you and your ilk.

Note to self: never spend a cent on Tonkin cars or Columbia sportswear.

will someone please make this all go away so we can start spending time on real issues??

Tim Boyle from Columbia is still angry (and probably rightly so) that the city and county pretty much forced him to move to Washington county when they grabbed the building he wanted for the Multnomah County admin building. Tonkin has sour grapes over some zoning issues with one of his car lots on 122nd. Gordley is just the rube.

How is someone *forced* to move a business simply because the building they wanted got bought?
Pick a new building.
Or move your business out of state.

Those are choices left to the business owner.
Boyle *made* his own choice.

Let's not forget that Avel Gordly led the "Democrats for Gordon Smith" in both 02 and 08 and left the Democratic caucus in Salem despite getting elected as a Dem in the heaviest Dem registration Senate district in the state.

$izemore 2.0 = make money collecting signatures and skimming your % on a Fox-worthy initiative. Adams can never run for a second term, recall is pure commerce for the organizers. If you succeed, who is the mayor candidate? Be stupid and fund a recall, be smart and fund your $ucce$$or. Personally, I support Adams.

Reins, not reigns.

TSW Add OPB to the list, Avel Gorley is on the Board. Hmmm maybe I'll skip my contribution this year

Whoever thought it was a fun idea to photoshop a suggestion of a dunce's cap on Avel Gordly is a semi-developed parasite. I guess she's to be the target-de-jour for all you angry, heartless, semi-literate, semi-employed hipster "creatives". (Who love Sam, naturally, because he is the biggest semi-developed parasite around).

Maybe I should accuse you all of racism, the way all the anti-Sam people got accused of homophobia. That would round out the picture nicely, wouldn't it?

Jerks.

@gonetorio

Democrats for Gordon Smith.

The gay hating mormon church that funded Prop 8 in California. Nuff said.

@gonetorio

I'm quite literate and very much employed. And I support Sam Adams because he never lied about anything related to policy or government. He simply denied having legal, consensual sex with another man, by a journalist who had no reason to bring it up. (Funny how none of the other candidates' sex lives were talked about, huh?) That, and that alone, is what makes everyone supporting the recall look like the homophobes that they are.

However, I've yet to see anyone bring Gordly's race into the arguement. And if you're paying attention, you'll see that it's a party hat, not a dunce cap. So, yet again, your comment is irrelevant.

Also, name calling only makes you look sad and desperate.

Yet again Garrett... you prove yourself to be nothing more than a loud mouth idiot reading talking points fed to you.

It is wildly known that Avel's son is gay and she is an advocate of gay rights. Go ahead, Google "Avel Gordly gay son".

Don't worry, team Adams and Weiner will get you your new talking points soon.

Till then you may want to quit making yourself sound like a fool... and start looking for a mayoral candidate to back.
14
Jasun, if this thing ever gets off the ground you will be the first one I will be looking to for talking points. Why was it that you only wanted to use volunteer signature gatherers? Why did you limit contributions to $1,000 per person and only from from the immediate area? I seem to recall some pretty good reasons, guess someone will need to go back through all your old posts to find the best explanation of your reasoning.

Since you are apparently back from vacation maybe you could answer a couple questions. Will you be receiving any compensation for giving your list to the new recall efforts? Will you have a role in the new recall and will it still be on a volunteer only basis? Lastly, will the new recall continue to use your consulting company or the company of your business associate?

Hi LittleBrute,

I am no longer spokesperson for the recall. Please address all you your questions regarding Plan A+ to 503-995-3858.

As the current spokes person, former Oregon Senator Avel Gordly, said during an interview with the Portland Business Journal:

“It’s about how we move forward as a city,” she said. “I don’t believe we can diminish the importance of voters having their say. I know there are those who say the recall proponents had their opportunities and need to get over it and move on, but we can’t move on because we can’t deny we have crippled leadership. This is unfinished business.”

As for all contributions and expenditures, for any PAC must be reported with in 7 days via ORESTAR.

Though it seems like you really have it out for me and I do respect (even encourage) you to spend as much time as you wish focusing on whatever you want...

Hey, after all it is your life.

Good luck.

If it's unfinished business until the recall happens then it is less about the city and more about personal vendetta. The recall people were out there, visibly out there. If there were enough people in this city who wanted a recall they could have found one of those volunteers or got a hold of the campaign in some way and signed up. They didn't. The people of this city did not get motivated to recall our mayor during the first campaign and that seems like pretty finished business to me.

blownspeakers,

I have attended many, many parties. I mistook a bottle in the fridge for ice water and had a big slug of vodka when i was like, four. This is one of my early childhood memories, running into the living room where all the adults were partying, screeching, "my throat is on fire!". My mother was a professional partier, making business deals through ceaseless partying. Later, I partied too, until finally the sane quiet life became much, much, more interesting, around my mid-twenties.

And you know what. I never saw ANYONE in a hat like that, at any of the many parties I went to.

What kind of parties do you go to?

18
Obviously, I attend parties where they don't allow four year olds to drink alcohol.

Here ya go, gonetorio:

Just go to just about any bar in any part of the US on New Years Eve. You will be handed one of those along with a noise maker.

Please wait...
