BARF ALERT: (Fmr WA Gov Gary) Locke Joins Clinton Campaign
The Spokesman-Review (paper edition) ^ | 10-8-2007 | Staff

Posted on 10/08/2007 1:44:16 PM PDT by lilylangtree

Olympia--Former Gov. Gary Locke, the nation's first Chinese-American governor, has signed on as state co-chairman of Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton's bid for president.

Locke will join King County Executive Ron Sims and U.S. Rep Jay Inslee as state co-chairmen for Clinton. Inslee is national co-chairman of Clinton's energy and environment advisers and Sims, the state's top-ranking black officeholder, is a member of the panel.

"Gary was a visionary governor and he will be a tremendous asset to our campaign as we take our message of change across Washington," Clinton said in a prepared statement. "I'm honored to have his support."

While former Governor Locke played his "first Chinese-American governor" for all it was worth and Sims is doing his thing with his "state's top-ranking black officeholder." Who said the race card won't be played by the demoncRATS? Besides, ole Gary is looking for his cabinet level position so that he can charge another expensive China trip to visit his and his wife's relatives to the taxpayers. Plus, he wants the national gasoline tax to increase. Like his motto said "it's your nickel, watch it work." Bleah!

“While former Governor Locke played his “first Chinese-American governor” for all it was worth and Sims is doing his thing with his “state’s top-ranking black officeholder.” Who said the race card won’t be played by the demoncRATS?”

I wonder if I ever won a governership if I’d be considered the first “Irish/German/English/Polish - American” governor?

King County is the place where the Dems were able to cheat Christine Gregoire into the Governor’s Mansion. I will never trust anything or anyone associated with King County again.

Also, King, Pierce, and Snohomish Counties defeated Republican Sen. Slade Gorton and catapulted Democrat Sen. Maria Cant”budget”well into office. Gorton (RINO) won in all counties except those 3. Isn’t it interesting that those 3 counties carry the politics in the state? Also, interesting is that we have Moron Murray, Cant”budget”well and Fraudoire (all women and democrats) running the state.

Why do Dem women think that voting for a woman is always the right course? I find it insulting that the Dems and the MSM assume that most women will vote for a woman over a man simply because she’s a woman! Pubbie women are smarter than that. We vote ideology not gender or race.
