Conservative Eastern WA lawmakers file bill to split state. Poor sports!
I will never forget the hilarious column by Ron Judd of the Seattle Times on April Fool's Day. He wrote:
"To Wenatchee- Denizens of the channeled scablands:
"We pave your roads, build your universities, fund your hospitals, and what do we get in return? Endless carping about the clam digging schedule for Pacific Ocean beaches and the Lentil Festival in Ferry County. You want to secede? Go ahead. We won't miss you."

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.It would be really nice if there was a place where all these people could go and have their way. The result would be to either realize their beliefs cannot work as a political entity or go extinct. Unfortunately they would want to come back and do the same to us not learning anything.

I wrote to a friend in Portland, Oregon who sent me this link:
"It will never pass. Eastern WA rednecks have wanted to secede for decades. It is foolish."
He replied:
"You are correct, but the Confederate flag-waving, slack-jawed, mouth-breathing, Velveeta and white bread-eating, knuckle-dragging minions of atavistic camouflage underwear fans will never stop beating the drum of idiocy and immorality."

[ just moved this ‘to here’ 
] Problem is … their US Senatorial power (as a state) would be the equivalent of.. Wyoming vs. California, or Virginia. If the western states could be sliced latitudinally … from sea to high desert, the bay towns and educated valleys would win the day (till the big one shakes them to pieces).
It’s a problem across the nation; every political entity developed from east to west, thus the east retains the most counties & states ..while the west remains under-represented. ..though that doesn't hold true in greg walden’s congressional district in OR … the only republican congressman in the state’s largest district..
People have been semi-serious about splitting off the Puget Sound area and calling it Cascadia for ages.

No kidding. It's always ignorant rednecks who rant about King County liberals.
Varn:
I remember ‘We of Cascadia’ wanted all of WA, OR, British Columbia (Canada) & Northern CA 
Shea is certifiable. He wrote a manifesto calling for the death of infidel males.... god and he is a state rep! What in the fuck is wrong with these people keep on electing that lunatic!

They are doing the same thing down in California. They don’t play well with others.
