McKenna is Gregoire-lite. He sabotaged the election challenge in 2004. He claimed he had no authority to investigate election fraud and that was a lie. He wanted Rossini to lose so he could run himself. He’s also a liberal.
I don’t know about the election fraud, but I do know about Obamacare. McKenna was up here in Whatcom County several times during the last election, encouraging and inspiring workers to get out the vote.
Obamacare will destroy the country, not just the health care industry. It is the single most important issue facing the country at this time and McKenna is willing to take that on. Mitt Romney is not. Don’t attack McKenna to justify support for Romney.
Gregoire and the Democrats have a coal terminal planned for Whatcom County. The developers are all the usual big Democrat crony capitalists, Goldman Sachs, Warren Buffet and the unions. Remember Trumka is the former head of the United Mine workers.
The coal terminal will spew coal dust over a 3-5 mile radius around the terminal, destroying homes and farms, depressing housing values and ending hopes of other commercial development.
The Republicans have endorsed the project, telling those property owners who will suffer the most damage that they have to consider the greater good - union jobs.
The coal trains will run through towns all along the WA coast and are being opposed in other towns, as well, but if the terminal goes through, the coal trains will come.
Gregoire has taken over approval of the project to prevent public outrage from stopping it. A Governor McKenna can stop it, just like the newly elected Republican Governor in Maine stopped the Gateway project in that state.
Right now, Patty Murray has a bill in the Senate, along with Susan Collins and Dick Durbin, to use financing meant to aid passenger travel to fund the Gateway projects. Gateway projects are part of the UN Agenda 21 - AND THE REPUBLICANS in WA state are endorsing the GATEWAY project.
By the way, Gregoire would have had a problem with re-election because she has thrown the environmental interests under the bus with the promotion of this coal terminal. Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell have done the same. The enviro-Nazis in Whatcom County are talking Green Party. People for Puget Sound and all those water related groups are mad at her.
They also say that Jay Inslee is a non-starter for them.
