March 02 2021 The former chair of the Multnomah County Republicans says not to trust the media regarding the presidential election. Editor s Note: This column by former Multnomah County Republican Party chair James L. Buchal makes allegations of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election. No evidence of widespread voter fraud has been uncovered and federal judges have repeatedly dismissed lawsuits claiming voter fraud in the election citing a lack of evidence. After a summer of attacks upon federal, state and private property deemed mostly peaceful by the media, a similar demonstration at the U.S. Capitol produced a continuing and overblown media frenzy about insurrection. After tolerating fringe insurrectionists who are Democrats for decades, leading Democrats and weak-willed Republicans now lead a puritanical effort to purge those challenging insurrection-related narratives from the public square. ....
March 02 2021 Sen. Bob Packwood says Republicans here once bucked the national party s conservative tilt. Now they ve embraced it. There s a lot of talk in Washington, D.C., these days about the civil war within the Republican Party.

Reporter Sam Stites in Clackamas County found, across the board, Republicans reluctant to wade into the story. Clackamas County GOP chair Margie Hughes did not respond to a request for comment. Neither did any other elected officials or party leaders in the county. As far as county politics go, Republicans have been far more successful in recent years in Clackamas County than they have in Multnomah or Washington counties. ....
In those two decades, voters have elected Republicans statewide only twice. One was Gordon Smith, who won a second term in the U.S. Senate in 2002 but lost six years later. He became president of the National Association of Broadcasters. He maintains a home in Pendleton, but has said he will not seek public office again. The other was Dennis Richardson, a former state representative who lost to Democratic Gov. John Kitzhaber in 2014, but was elected secretary of state two years later. Richardson died of cancer in 2019. One of Richardson s early endorsers for governor in 2013 was Atiyeh, who knew about second chances. He was elected governor on his second try in 1978 (he lost four years earlier) and was re-elected in 1982. ....
