Patty Murray emerges as bipartisan figure after budget deal

"We have broken through the partisanship and the gridlock," Sen. Patty Murray, one of two chief budget negotiators, said of Tuesday's deal to avoid another government shutdown.

Murray, a Democrat from Washington state serving her fourth term, is considered a steady hand in the Senate who shuns grandstanding and garners respect from both sides of the aisle.

She is a liberal, but can be pragmatic and has some conservative thoughts on budget issues.

Like her negotiating partner, Murray loves the outdoors and fishing, something she alluded to as they announced the deal and their ability to find a compromise.

"We do have some major differences," she said. "We cheer for a different football team, clearly. We catch different fish. We have some differences on policy, but we agree our country needs some certainty."

Where’s the barf alert? We have only one side in politics, left, left, and further left.

The dumbing down of America is almost completed. We are now being led by low information politicians.

“The stupidest woman in the Senate” must be in political trouble so the media is trying to get her some bipartisan creds hoping she’ll get some cross-over votes.

Recognizing lies and deceit (and also recognizing insult to my ability to think and observe)...

...I stopped reading right here.

Yeah, my thoughts exactly when I saw that Dwarf next to Ryan. There must be a good 30 inches in delta H between them. I guess Patty, wasn’t wearing her “elevator tennis shoes.”

Isn’t that sweet to credit Patty-cakes for doing no more or no less than her play pal, Ryan. Democrat and Democrat Lite.

"And shame on you Paul Ryan - shame on you."

Yes nothing says "smart politics" like pissing off your conservative base and not collecting a SINGLE liberal voter.

GOP...the G stands for "genius".

Next "genius" move...push amnesty!

Never forget what this dunce said about Bin laden-
Murray said, according to the Vancouver paper, that bin Laden has been “out in these countries for decades, building schools, building roads, building infrastructure, building day care facilities, building health care facilities, and the people are extremely grateful. We haven’t done that.”
