All of our conservative “no more taxes” state initiatives won handily, yet we still sent the dullest knive in the Senate drawer back for more years. If those of you outside WA state are frustrated, just imagine how frustrated and disappointed we are. It is very very disheartening.
Dino Rossi got into the race late. There were 2 other “unknown” Republican candidates in the primary race. Both of those 2 were conservative and had a lot of passion. But, Rossi was the GOP establishment pick. When will they ever learn?
I know how you feel. Here in Pa I was worried that we would get stuck with another Casey clone. That man makes rocks look smart. Now the local newspaper clowns are crying that because we lost Spectre we will lose federal dollars that he brought to the state.
We took my daughter and her husband to breakfast last Sunday. My son in law said that Dino Rossi seemed “slimey” to him. I told him that his wife’s grandparents knew Dino Rossi and he is a very nice man. We had these non-stop horrible commercials, on the radio, TV and even calling our phones all day with Patty Murray basically calling Dino Rossi a slime bag. Many thirty year olds... like our kids actually fall for that kind of crap... and probably a lot of people old enough to know better also.
In Washington we have the two of the most pathetic Senators in the country. There is dumb and then there is Patty Murray dumb. I used to work with her brother on occassion. The poor guy is actually a conservative.
Then there is our other Senator, Maria Cantwell... My wife sometimes volunteers at the USO at SeaTac Airport. Sen. Cantwell’s body guards drag her up to the USO to keep her out of sight when she is too sloshed to stand without assistance. She is a lush. I don’t know how they keep her out of the sauce during campaign season. Someone should get a video of her after she has tipped back too many and put it on Youtube.
