Tom McCabe, executive vice president of the Building Industry Association of Washington, which has contributed heavily to Gregoire's Republican challenger, Dino Rossi, said the incentive is obvious.

If McCabe really cared about getting Rossi elected, Rossi would have won in a land slide last election. He isn't interested in exposing her racketeering because it would also expose some of his Republican buddies like AG McKenna and other officials, including judges, who favor the BIAW.

What a deal. In the other states with tribal casinos the state takes a cut. In the Soviet of Washington, the governor takes a cut. She ought to be in prison instead of the governor’s mansion. It’s still state housing.

$604,131 Contributions to state Democratic Party from tribes since 2004. For the state party this is a lot of cash floating around. She used to be our Attorney General!

2004 Washington was the most corrupt gubernatorial race in recent U.S. history.

After all the chicanery, the Republican secretary of state certified the election!

Democrooks will continue to steal elections when Republicans refuse to resist them.

Getting Rossi into the Governorship is our top priority in Washington state...

If that can be accomplished (Big If in this Socialist controlled state!), we should do all in our power to bring our witch to Justice!

This whole affair smells to high Heaven!

“She shouldn’t take any campaign money, nor should her political party, and it smells too quid pro quo for my liking.”
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Yes, it can happen here. This is just one example.

If the Democrats are allowed to come to power they will coral the money, find ways to stuff the ballot box, and appoint judges that will let them do it.
