MURRAY & CANTWELL ARE TRAITORS

[turbo]

Born and raised here and hate it. 43 years old and I have finally realized my vote is worthless. We are all slaves to the Boeing union and the teachers union and King County. We can't and won't win. When Gregwhore was re-elected I was stunned. When Murray was re-elected I gave up. Only fools keep electing these wastes of oxygen and we are surrounded by them everywhere. I still have yet to meet anyone that will actually admit they voted for these clowns.

Washington is one of the laughing stocks of the country and your vote is already counted. I will keep trying to voice my opinions through voting but It's really pointless..

I know how you feel--we here in Eastern Washington don't feel like our votes count.  We are greatly outnumbered by the squishies on the I5 corridor.  Look what happened to Jay Inslee.  We voted his lying sack a$$ out of this area, and he went over where his own kind are, and got voted right back in again.  Now he wants to be our next Governor.  But don't give up--if you remember the last election, Patty Murray didn't win by a landslide.  She won by the skin of her teeth.  Proof that more voters are waking up to what the liberal mentality is doing to this country.  The UN?  We give them the most monetary support, and a free headquarters on US soil, and they constantly try to stab us in the back.  I think it's time to pull them off the teat and boot them out.

 Older yet turbo, and have seen a few more years of the slide.

Not that I disagree with most of what was said here, but-

Questionable whether this thread should have been allowed on the main board to begin with, but it has now run the gamut of topics and it still a political thread.  There's a place on the board for these posts now - let's move this there.

 But this IS a 2nd amendment issue, and "blue" states are notorious for electing those VERY weak on gun issues!

You should move. I didn't like living where I was on the east coast and moved in '89. I love it here. One of the cool things about living in the US is that anytime you want, you can move anywhere you want. You could move to more conservative ID or MT and still get the benefits of living in a NW state. If I were as unhappy as you say you are, I certainly would. And, no offense meant by it. Not trying to get rid of you

There was a post on here not long ago maybe a week about NRA vice president Wayne LaPierre speaking to the UN about this very subject.  Please do some research before ranting about the one orginization that did step up, and in very strong words told the people of the UN that this will never fly in the United States.  Honestly did anyone believe that either Cantwell, or Murray would sign on to this treaty.  They needed to be booted out on there ear we had a chance with Dino guess more of us should have gotten off our ass, and voted.  I certainly hope that the passion you feel on this matter gets you, and everyone you know to the ballot box this november.

the problem is this state is split 50/50 with the Demos having a lttle edge .....until we get a few more Republicians in there we are screwed...those two women make my gut hurt

I love the land here in this state but HATE its politicians! I think that a large portion of the problem was the large influx of Liberal Californians in the 80's and 90's...  I think their thinking and voting skewed our traditionally conservative in nature Democrats. If you look back at our history of governors for this state you have to go back to the 1901 before you have a streak of several governors fro the same party... I think our governors really turned down hill With Mike Lowery. I think Booth Gardner is where the start of the change in Democrats... The change from physical investments in infrastructure, to  "investments" in our future.... It is my opinion that this change has made it easier to fudge the success of them spending our money prudently... When a hi-way, bridge,etc is built there are hard facts as to the cost and benefit... "Investments" in things like education and children health are fluid and harder to ascertain the value of the investment...

BH45 I think Dino's problem was he was tying to be the kinder gentler republican... Confrontation works in political campaigns, if you don't have the fire to attack your opponent that you disagree with you aren't likely to win.

 Right on  Special T but they were coming in the 70's too!

If you use wikipedia and pull up our gov history it shows that political thought is a pendulum that swings back and forth...  People get concerned about thier wallet they vote republican... they feel the republicans are cold harted b-stards then vote Dem I have customers in MT that complained to me about "All the Californians" moving in.  Areas like Whitefish MT are becoming much more liberal... I think they infect like a parasite, consume then move to feast on those that have made an acountable government. "Changing" the local way of doing things to make them better, dispite the fact that they moved away from the change they are trying to create!

For some reason, "they're going to take our guns!" is a particularly powerful paranoia that strikes otherwise very down-to-Earth people. The NRA certainly benefits a lot from stoking that fire, which they do with the brilliance of any talented politician looking to scrounge up funds (not saying they are a bad organization, but it's important to remember they have a lot of vested interest in keeping gun owners afraid of losing guns). To my knowledge, the only legislative move made by the Obama administration with regards to guns is to LEGALIZE carrying loaded firearms in national parks...

Politicians absolutely LOVE the gun issue, just like they love the abortion issue, because it polarizes the voting base but in fact, virtually never goes anywhere. Both issues are so firmly entrenched in legal precedent that a durable (note that word it's important, because challenge laws pop up and are shot down all the time) and substantial change to the current system is hard to conceive. The politicians don't actually have to do anything - just say a few words and presto, an energized voting base.

Let us not forget, too, that all of us agree on some degree of arms control, it's just a question of where we draw the line. It's not a black and white issue. Very few people (probably no one, frankly) on this board would argue that anyone should be able to obtain surface-to-air missiles without any sort of surveillance. Most would probably agree bazookas and land mines are over the line too. It gets hazy in the assault-weapon category, for sure. It's a nuanced issue; making it "all or nothing" loses support no matter what side you're on... just my thoughts.

"It gets hazy in the assault-weapon category, for sure."


Yeah, like when "they" define  my 742 Woodsmaster as an assault weapon
