A bit out of character for one of the Looniest of the Left, isn’t it?

Trailing in the polls, is she?

The should give Murray a suppository and store the world's nuclear waste at the Hanford site. They have already poisoned the place and everyone I know that worked there has cancer. Yeah I know , anecdotal.

"I personally believe the Obama administration made a serious mistake when it zeroed out money for Yucca Mountain," Murray said . . .

When your party is proving it is the party of Jackasses and your leader is called Zer0, what's a little money zeroed out for our nation's security? So far, all our money is being flushed down the toilet and we are seeing zer0 for it. We don't call 0bama Zer0 for nothing!

Well you know what they say about stopped clocks. She also surprised a lot of us when she objected to Obama’s plan for our wounded warriors that are now stateside - let their employers’ health care plans take care of their injuries and rehab (meaning their private sector employers).

They have no interest in actuially storing nuclear waste there. Yucca is just a multi billion dollar slush fund for contractor pals, bribes, payoffs and other scum.

When the pubbies take over the House and Senate this November they can re introduce this bill and others like it. For those who are worried Obama will veto it, remember, he is the king of voting ‘present’. He rarely, if ever, sticks his neck out on something, especially something the people want. Vetoing something would mean actually taking a stand on the issue. I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of these bills that overturn stuff that passed in the last year wouldn’t just sit on his desk until they passed.

Sounds like “Dum-Dum” Murray trying to position herself as a centrist in a senate race she’s probably going to lose.

I worked at Hanford (FFTF, 100N, 200E) back in the 70's.

Building Trades have a program in place for medical screening for former nuke workers. No cancer but I do give off a warm glow at night :^)

God bless you and your family. The work was vital to our country, but I am more than a little upset about the way my friends have been treated .
