I like that great old Senator Henry ‘Scoop’ Jackson who was one of the great democrat strong defense leaders of our time. He said, ‘in time of war national policy should emanate from our shore with one voice’.

Henry "Scoop" Jackson was liberal on economic and labor issues, moderate on social issues -- and arch-conservative on defense.

There is still a legacy of "Scoop Jackson" Democrats in Washington state politics, particularly in the state legislature.
