We all like to rag on willyweek, but their right up about how scared redneck white men are trying to seize the courts is dead on.

Linn County and Salem seem to be the center of this Trump/Pence Pushback....

The idea that a ton of fresh faced Rethuglican candidates invaded the poles isn't planned is some ballsy baloney. It's really obvious in at least the case of right wing nut job Michael Wynhausen's candidacy, he's pandering to people who hate liberals, hate Kate Brown, hate Blacks, hate immigrates, and hate the gheys but are careful not to be obvious about it.
One of Wynhausen's supporters is Lars Larson. Old readers might remember Larson's uncritical endorsment of the war in iraq:

If the follow the blog links, one gets Wynhausen is tough on drugs, doesn't believe marijuana should be legalized, and actively tries to keep offenders out of treatment programs:
“I've witnessed you trying to stop someone from getting in to DTC(drug treatment court). I've also witnessed that same person successfully complete DTC.
Stop blaming kate Brown for the repeat offenders. Sounds like you'd like to lock up non violent people with a problem. Treatment works. Healing our people should be givin a fair shot.”
Here's a woman he hounded for over a year, even after doctors confirmed she was the victim of a rare medical reaction after taking Ambien:

"Friends of Judge Fay Stetz-Waters
23 hrs ·
The Democrat-Herald just posted a news story about Judge Fay’s race. We appreciate the coverage and how the story shares the broad range of experience that she brings to the bench.
Also in the story, however, Judge Fay’s opponent continues his attacks, this time with a new out and out lie about the timing of her application for the appointment. This lie is a clear violation of Oregon’s Judicial Code of Conduct, which applies to candidates running for judge. The Code of Conduct says:
“Except as permitted by law, a judge or a judicial candidate shall not . . .
knowingly or with reckless disregard for the truth, make any false statement concerning a judicial candidate's identity, qualifications, present position, education, experience, or other material fact that relates to the judicial campaign of the judge or any judicial candidate.”
With his lie that Judge Fay was allowed to apply for the appointment to the bench after the deadline, Mr. Wynhausen has clearly violated the Judicial Code of Conduct. He does not have the temperament or the integrity to serve the people of Linn County as a Circuit Court Judge."
If true, not surprising. All the Trumpistan Republicans are using every dirty trick in the book to win.
So this guy really got a degree in theater at Santa Clara? LOL

"Wyatt King "Jxxxxx" is one of Fay Stetz-Waters most active supporters, and a felon. On a prior post, she said Wynhausen didn't believe in second chances... yet here she is bringing up an ex-wife (key word- ex) to try and say Michael isn't a good candidate.
Maybe one shouldn't throw around bs articles from conspiracy blogs to attack someone through their ex when that person has a long list of criminal offenses publicly available..."
Are we to take it this means anyone with a criminal past (key word- PAST) gives up forever and in perpetuity their right to express their political opinion or risk having their record dredged up?

The article is amazing. A Judge should be looking for facts, evidence and compliance with the law. If the Governor was using any criteria but experience, then the voters of Linn County should absolutely set her straight.
Anyone who has career goals is going to prepare for that next position along that path. How does anyone who didn't spend time in a courtroom going to do the job competently? The consequences of getting it wrong are going to fall on people who may not realize the appointed judge is a rookie.
Linn County voters need to make the choice.

Is this the judge situation that Soros is messing with?

Wouldn't be a surprise"
They used to be on Facebook here:

And now, on his election page, Wynhausen has some hypocritical garbage about how private views are private:

"Michael Wynhausen for Linn County Judge
10 hrs ·
Passionate citizens make for heated debates, but it's important to focus on what matters: experience, qualifications, and who will best represent the beliefs and values of Linn County.
Private political views of private citizens are just that, private."
Hmkay, then maybe don't talk about your whacked out conspiracies on public Facebook pages? Cuz then they stop being "private".
Wonder if they're freaked out about the attempt to bomb Soros? Too late to not look like the bad guys, Republican fuckers.
YOU BUILT THIS.
Stay classy.
