Out in Yamhill County there is a heated race for State Representative between incumbent Jim Weidner and Susan Sokol Blosser. Yes, from that wine family. This week, the final week before the election, Blosser has filed a libel lawsuit against Weidner for what his ad below says:
It seems that Ms. Blosser has issue with statements from Weidner's supporters about her hiring illegal aliens and paying them "under the table."
That would appear to be quite inflammatory except for the fact that Blosser herself admitted to those actions in her own words in the book she wrote At Home in the Vineyard: Cultivating a Winery, an Industry, and a Life.
As shown on NW Republican, on page 66 of Blosser's book, she writes:
"There was no federal program allowing foreign farm workers, but that didn't stop them from coming or us from hiring them. There was always an abundance of Mexican farm workers in our area, and we were lucky to have them. It was generally known that most of the workers entered the country illegally...the black market must have been huge. The whole situation existed under the table. Everyone knew about it; nobody talked about it."
So that's the latest dirty campaigning that Democrat Blosser has engaged in against Republican Weidner.
So, Susan, are you going to sue me too? And is the IRS and Oregon Department of Revenue aware of your admitted criminal tax evasion?

close-minded and cold-hearted
No matter how old I get, I will never understand the people who judge others without even attempting to hear their side of the story or to even get to know them.
To the person on my Facebook friends list who prefers to completely ignore my existence except to talk down to me in a condescending and elitist tone: You really are a very sad person.
I know it's different in your world, but in my world, I don't care what degrees a person has, what initials are after their name, what neighborhood they live in, how much they paid for their house, or the amount on their paycheck. For the people in my life, I only care what is in their heart. And from what I have seen, you have a lot of bitterness in your heart.
