"A moderate by definition is one of three things; somebody who sits around and waits for a majority to form and then joins it, a conservative who is pro-choice, or a liberal."

- Oregonian Accuses Republicans Of Playing Political Poker With Children As Chips... Because they are holding up the cigarette tax. [The Oregonian would have people believe that this bill is critical to help kids (it is not) and that it is Republican who use kids as chips in a poker game. But, it was bi-sexual Kate Brown who said, with a "straight poker-face" on the floor of the Senate (during the special session) that it was "a technicality" that held up Jessica's Law during the regular session. But, upon asking legislators later one as to what that technicality was none could remember. Well, some Republicans have a pretty good idea what it was. It was revenge for holding up the civil unions legislation and the protection of little children be damned. If it were not for Republicans like Bruce Starr and Jason Atkinson petitioning action and because of Fox News' Bill O'Reilly bring national attention to the inexcusable anti-child-protection behavior of the Democrats, Brown most likely would not have allowed the bill to be passed during the special session either.]

- Oregonian Likes Pay Taxes/Feel Good Story. "That showed pure altruism at work, rather than warm glow altruism, since the subjects had no choice in the matter."
