Are we talking about the same Maria Cantwell? The one who had to go on bent knee to Hillary Clinton to get money? The one who blantantly violated federal campaign finance laws, used illegal loans, and lied about them to the public only to later fess up after the election.

The Maria Cantwell who is buddy buddy with Patty "Osama Built Daycare Centers" Murray?

The same Maria Cantwell that thinks Jerry Springer would make "a fine Senator"?

The same Maria Cantwell who until recently was the largest receipent of lobbyist cash in all of congress?

You said to go to your blog, so I did. I found you posted and gave your full support to the positions contained in this letter to the editor...

To The Editor:

What kind of "moral values" include corporate monopolies, control over the airwaves, manipulation of what would otherwise have been democratic elections?

We know that the moral values of the Democrats include helping people, and that' exactly why the Democrats give us Social Security, minimum wage laws, worker safety regulations, child labor laws, overtime pay, water pollution control, air pollution controls, the Endangered Species Act, funding for and support of public education, and the preservation of millions of acres of national (public) land.

The "values" of the right-wing Republican Party is to disenfranchise, to privatize, to control, to elevate the lives of the very wealthy at the expense of the very poor, to legislate lifestyles, to promote hatred, especially hatred of anyone different from the way "they" life their lives (publicly at least), to the invading of privacy, to telling women what they are allowed to do with their own bodies, of self-centeredness, and of catering to the irrational right-wing religious bigots.

Republicans want to privatize "Social Security, steal public school money Giving it to private schools via vouchers), ignore and fight to dismantle the clean air, clean water and Endangered Species Acts. They've opposed the above when proposed. Mr. Bush tried to get rid of overtime pay altogether and that was in his first term.

When a Republican whines "moral values," its translation is "bigotry of the bullies." They have no morality and their "values" are in the minus column. Would Jesus match lockstep with the baneful Republican Party?
