Regarding Governor Locke, and his Communist sympathies, At the same time Clinton was accepting Commie money, so was our esteemed governor, except his contributions barely made the news, and raised nary an eyebrow in the Seattle press. Also, I recall when the governmor's wife was expecting, she made a trip to China, and came back proclaiming we should all be raising our children like they do in China, because theirs was the better way. I was surprised then, when the Lockes had a second child, since the Chinese way would have been a "one-child" policy. I also noticed they didn't put their baby daughter out in the gutter because she was the wrong sex.
I glady excused them for their hipocracy though, because I recognize that Democrats advocate one set of standards for themselves, and a different set for non-democrats. My doctor and dentist are both Chinese, and as Conservative and Christian as I am. Governor Locke, on the other hand, is a useful idiot from the dark side. Not because he is Chinese, but because he is not an America-firster.
That is the common trait among Patty Murray, Maria Cantwell, Gary Locke and Jim McDermott. They all hate America, and don't hesitate to bite the hand that has put them in office, at every opportunity.
