I went to the Redmond Derby Days parade this Saturday and I was struck by the difference between two campaigns in the 48th District legislative race. The candidates were Bret Olson whos running and his likely opponent in the General Election, Deb Eddy for the open seat left by Rodney Toms defection to the Democrat party.
Brets adult volunteers handed out balloons and his younger supporters gave out candy to their peers and Bret and his wife rode and waved to parade-goers.
From all I could tell, Ms. Eddys folks just carried signs and just chanted slogans to get noticed. In fact, I didnt even see the candidate herself walking the parade route or riding in the parade vehicle. Maybe she had somewhere else to be, but spending an hour on meeting your potential constituents doesnt seem to be too much to ask.
Then I noticed a weird and disgusting message that the Eddy campaign seems compelled to communicate. If you look closely (or click to enlarge), youll see theres a sign prominently placed on her parade car.
It says:
Debbie Does
Democracy
She gets things done.
This slogan is a play on a movie from 1978 called Debbie Does Dallas which by some accounts is the best-selling pornographic movie of all time. This doesnt seem to be a particularly responsible or compelling slogan for a state legislative campaign considering its origin. I don't have any problems with adults who choose to consume adult material in the comfort of their own home, but to co-opt a movie title of this sort doesn't seem to me to be particularly family-friendly. It does however seem to fit perfectly in line with the Democrat Party's moral compass.

All we can do is hope that her Democrat constituency has a high moral code. The Democrat party is trashing the country, let alone the state of Washington.
Along with that hope, vote for Sharon Long for State Rep in the 49th!
