U.S. Sen Patty Murray -- Senator Asks Students to Ponder (Sen. Murray lauds Osama bin Laden)

On behalf of the rational people in the state of Washington, I apologize.

It is very, very difficult for a conservative to be elected here. Even when the party puts up credible candidates, it is very hard. Gorton was as close as we ever really got. How close is that?

In Everett, we elected a representative from the local Native American reservation. He was an active lobbyist in Olympia, a fact he did his level best to downplay during the election.

The R candidate, a retired airline pilot, had the temerity to suggest that it is possible that he won't effectively represent everyone in the district, given the fact that he'd been pretty staunch in his lobbying efforts on behalf of the tribe.

Within a week, the governor came out in the news decrying Hoglund(R) a racist.

That's all it took.

Larsen(D-Everett) has voted nearly lockstep with McDermott, and Murray - what can I say?

Numerous state initiatives have been passed by huge margins calling for cuts in car tabs, changes in the way taxes can be passed, and mandates in the way transportation funding is spent. Most of them have been challenged in court and others that haven't, the state refuses to implement, regardless of the initiative's passing.

Boeing isn't based in Chicago now for nothing. Washington has the highest unemployment in the nation right now. We also have the most expensive labor in the world.

I went to school on the East Coast, and I have lots of friends in MA, and I'll tell you this - with the exception of Hawaii, Washington State makes Mass look like Texas with respect to conservatism.

Most people in the state live in King and Snohomish counties. Many are either union (Boeing), grew up as D's, or are the guilty rich (D's). The rest of the state votes conservative. It's like Berkeley being able to dictate the political agenda for the entire state of California.

[hang 'em]

Some people are alive only because it is against the law to kill them. Too bad, really.

[concerned about politics]

"He's 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.

All the while planning to bomb all of ours. How do you "feel" about that?

[concerned about politics]

Do you think the news media will make as big a deal out of these comments as they did of Sen. Lott's?

She's a racist. She hates Americans. I demand 5 apologies so I don't have to forgive her! She MUST step down for her hateful remarks!

[Clemenza]

Thanks for the ping! Washington State has two of the DUMBEST Senators on the planet, Murray and Maria Can't-Spell.

[Clemenza]

I don't know. Franklin Roosevelt himself once spoke of "the 49 states and the People's Soviet of Washington (state)." This was back in the 1930s.

[Clemenza]

Yeah, but the California transplants to Washington State are well TO THE LEFT of the Mexican transplants in California.

Speaking from my perspective of living in NYC, there is NOTHING more dangerous than a middle or upper class WHITE leftist. The minorities simply support the Dems for pork, the white lefties support leftist causes as a religion.

[gaspar]

Is this woman insane? From 1980-88 OBL was building roads and infrastructure designed to throw the Russians out of Afghanistan. He didn't build schools, hospitals, etc., nor did he do so when he was working with Yemeni revolutionaries in 1989-1990, or during the time he spent in Sudan from 1991-96, when with Hasan al-Turabi he was directing an Islamist revolution. After he moved to Afghanistan in 1996, and through 2001, he was working on a revolution, not handing out cookies.

This woman simply has to be a product of American public education, outcome-based education, EEO handouts, and the quota system. No one this dumb should be allowed to serve as a dog-catcher let alone Senator of the United States.

[TenthAmendmentChampion]

This is why Senators were originally selected by the state legislatures, not popularly elected. We amended the Constitution to reverse this, unfortunately.

[BlessingInDisguise]

"Why are people so supportive of him in many countries … that are riddled with poverty?..."

Because they are ignorant like you?

"He's 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."

WTF???

[OldFriend]

To her constituents in the state of Washington, Patty Murray is a conservative.

[BlessingInDisguise]

Words were in response to the esteemed senators comments.

[finnman69]

UN-B-FREEEKING-LEAVABLE!

[SeeRushToldU_So]

Can she be recalled?

[finnman69]

"We've got to ask, why is this man (Osama bin Laden) so popular around the world?," said Murray, who faces re-election in 2004. "Why are people so supportive of him in many countries that are riddled with poverty?

Because those brainwashed Osama fans love stuff like this....

[TShaunK]

She should be asked to resign!!!!!!

[BlessingInDisguise]

"He's 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."

Is anyone else here just completely perplexed by this comment? I mean dumbfounded??

[Thommas]

"He's 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."

What the heck is she babbling about? What roads? Last time I viewed pictures of the regions, the roads are the same dirt tracks that were there 800 years ago? Day care? Under sharia (sic) law, the women stay home, go to market (kids in tow), or make meals with a large family unit - they don't use stinkin' day care.

Ms. Murray is a propagandist of the first order. I wish she had brought pictures of all these wonderful UBL contributions. Oh, and by the way, Ms. Murray, these people still live in poverty, the women are still treated as cattle, and the men still practice pederasty.

What a load this senator brings.

[Thommas]

"We can never capture or kill all the terrorists and those who support them."

I respectfully disagree. We can capture or kill ENOUGH of them so that their Jihad becomes a nullity.

[Uncle George]

IMPEACH THIS TREASONOUS SCUM NOW. I hope Oreily and Rush POISON HER OUT OF THE COUNTRY. Then start on the other treasonous LIBERAL DEMOCRATIC SCUM and rid OUR Country of these cancerous leaches.
