and freepers believe it!

Dean: GOP More Corrupt than Dems

Even though the biggest-money donors in the last election cycle were Democrats, DNC chairman Howard Dean complained this week that Republicans "have been utterly corrupted" by the process.

"The reason we need you to give money is because the political process on both sides - but particularly on the Republican side - has been utterly corrupted by people who give huge amounts of money from large corporations," Dean told a high school audience in Vancouver, Oregon.

1. That's hilarious.

And a bit frightenting. x(

[ET Awful]

2. There is a Vancouver in Oregon. n/t

[janx]

7. Really? Somehow I don't think Limbacher knew that--

he certainly didn't know where Dean was.

[oxymoron]

32. No, there is a Vancouver, WA

Just north of Portland, OR.

[LibertyorDeath]

3. They must mean this

http://www.globalindex.com/comindex/or/vancouve.shtml

there's a Vancouver Washington also

http://www.ci.vancouver.wa.us/

but Nothing compares to Vancouver Canada IMO

[janx]

6. I was just there. (Vancouver, BC)

And you're very right.

[LibertyorDeath]

12. Cool...l hope you enjoyed your stay

[janx]

15. I didn't have much time to explore because I was there

for a writer's conference. I did a lot of walking in the city though. So much glass! The pontoon planes were fun to watch. My room overlooked Coal Bay.

[Catch22Dem]

9. What's that island

That appears to have no buildings? It's in both pics. Great pictures by the way.

[janx]

13. That's Stanley Park.

Beautiful, isn't it?

[Catch22Dem]

23. Indeed.

My wife and I would both like to visit there sometime.

[LibertyorDeath]

16. That's Stanely Park over 1000 acres of Nature right next to

down town Vancouver

20. Check the links in the upper page.

Several of them CLEARLY refer to Vancouver, Washington (the site of Fort Vancouver). The page on counties of Oregon also claims Cowlitz County. I would not put much confidence in that website!

4. LOVED this comment:

"Howard Brush Dean III, child of privilege, Birkenstock doc, and beneficiary of some $3.8 million in trust funds, equities and financial instruments, is the epitome of the "limousine liberal"."

As opposed to that hardworking "Son-of-the-Texas-soil" GWB, right?
ROFL!

[janx]

8. I noticed that one too...

;-)

[FreedomAngel82]

26. LOL

That's so funny. Don't these people forget that Bush was BORN RICH? :eyes: Same thing happened with Kerry.

[Blue Belle]

5. This really comes as no surprise...

I mean these are the same people who believe that:

a) Saddam had everything to do with 911.

b) There are WMD's in Iraq.

c) That Theresa Heinz Kerry owns Heinz Corporation

d) That the unhealthy part of a double bacon cheeseburger is the bun.

[Catch22Dem]

10. Your "d" hit me like a ton of bricks!

HAHAHAHAHA. That's CLASSIC!!!

[Igel]

11. A lot of "gotcha" posts just wind up showing the stupidity of the

OP and those in chorus mocking the subject of the "gotcha."

In this case, you're right:

Don Carlson walked out; republican senator from Vancouver.

Washington.

http://www.secstate.wa.gov/elections/guide/legislative_results.aspx?d=W8WUDuUuzP0q5SBLz9glOw%3D%3D

Newsmax goofed. The need (new?) fact checkers.

[wakeme2008]

14. Sorry NewMax is right

17. He was at a high school in Vancouver, OR?

My bad! I thought he was in the larger Vancouver--but maybe it's because I was just there.

[Spirochete]

27. No, he was here

in Vancouver, Washington. There is no Vancouver in Oregon.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

18. No, Newsmax is wrong

While the Oregonian newspaper covered it, Vancouver is just across the Columbia River in Washington. The "Clark County" part of it makes it clear that they're referring to the Vancouver that's in Washington.

There's a lot of traffic back and forth between the two cities, and many residents of Vancouver read the Oregonian, besides which, they get all their TV from Portland. Vancouver is a much smaller city, even though it's the largest city in southwest Washington.

I ought to know. I lived in Portland from 1993 to 2003, and I doubt that they've moved Vancouver since then.

I googled "Vancouver, Oregon," just to make sure, and almost all the hits were for "Portland-Vancouver, Oregon."

There was an ad for an opthamologist who does LASIK surgery in "Vancouver, Oregon," but when I plugged the address into Yahoo, I got a map of Vancouver, Washington. (Hmm, I wouldn't trust an eye surgeon who didn't know what state he was in...)

[rogerashton]

19. There is also --

The references in the Oregonian piece about the Washington State University campus in Vancouver. Somehow I don't think that's located in Oregon. (Crazy as higher education is getting!) And the Delorme Atlas of Oregon does not list a Vancouver.

[janx]

21. I have family in Portland--

and have spent some time there and in the Northwest in general. That's why I questioned it initially.

[Trajan]

22. Vancouver WASHINGTON ....

Just across the Columbia River from Portland ...

And damned pretty too ...

Its like being in Portland, Oregon ... but not be ...

[stevedeshazer]

24. And you would know!

But I can assure everyone that there is NO Vancouver, Oregon. It's across the creek from Portland in Washington.

That is a scary thought about the lost eye surgeon, though.

:hi:

[FreedomAngel82]

25. OMG

LOL. Too hilarious!!!

[paineinthearse]

28. ummmmmmmmmm, last I checked, VANCOUVER WAS IN ORGEON

It's on the Columbia River. Near Pendleton.

[oxymoron]

30. Sorry, you're wrong.

Vancouver is in Washington across the Columbia River from Portland, Oregon. It's nowhere near Pendleton, OR.

[paineinthearse]

31. exccccuuuuuuussssssse me

I've not been in the area in years. I just remember it on the river, did not remember which side.

[oxymoron]

33. I see

Well you sure were quick to hit the caps lock.

[foreigncorrespondent]

29. ROFLMAO

Well Sapph always told me that with a lot of yanks, you ask them to point to Canada on a map and they can't. LOL

Of course we know they are all repukes with the mentality that America is the only country in the world, all others need not apply.

[democracyindanger]

34. Just to put the final nail in, from a born and raised Portlander

THERE IS NO VANCOUVER, OREGON. IT IS ACROSS THE COLUMBIA RIVER, AND EVERYTHING ACROSS THE COLUMBIA IS WASHINGTON.

[Cleita]

35. There is a Vancouver, Washington that is on the Oregon border.

He needs to look at his map more closely.
