Those "Silly Attacks on Patty Murray

THis is what the Seattle Times thinks of efforts to call Patty Murray to account:

Election time is the silly season, and state Republican Party Chairman Chris Vance and Congressman George Nethercutt already have started the shenanigans for the 2004 U.S. senate campaign.

Their gasbaggery last week over U.S. Sen. Patty Murray's conversation with a Vancouver, Wash., high-school class was all spin and distortion.

Wednesday, Columbia River High School honor students studying world history were treated to a discussion with their U.S. senator about world events and U.S. policy. Murray, a former teacher, noted many people in the Muslim nations view the United States with suspicion and posed a question:

"We've got to ask, why is this man (Osama bin Laden) so popular around the world? Why are people so supportive of him in many countries that are riddled in poverty?"

She noted the wealthy bin Laden, believed to be an architect of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, has established goodwill because over the years he built buildings, roads and other facilities for poor areas.

Of course they object. They are socialist. The money spent on a war could be better spent on their socialist, vote-bying agenda. Try working in a downtown office with 99.6% socialist / liberals / leftists. Gun control is not shooting up the offices here! These bunch of whining, crying, slobbering, anti-American, Klinton butt kissing, ass-holes don't know what real America is. They all hate America. They love the communist, soviets, red chinese, n. koreans, Iraq, Iran, etc. They hate the military, hate conservatives, hate liberterians, hate republicans, hate whites. Even whites in our office hate whites. They think the white race is racist. I asked why they don't get a colored dye injected into them to change their color, maybe yellow all over to go with the streak down their spines.

Damn, I hate this place. I hope and pray my wife can retire soon so we can defect to Wyoming and out of this communist empire. I hate this place worse than satan.

Are you in Washington state? Try Texas or Arizona---they're fairly conservative and great for retirees. You have my sympathy, and thank you for your service to our country.
