Career change due

She’s been there as a “career politician” 18 years, now making $174,000, plus generous retirement benefits and a Cadillac health plan far exceeding the one she voted to mandate for us in the name of “reform.” Yet, the TV ads she now “sponsors” are totally devoted to slinging mud at Dino Rossi.

Nothing about what she’s done for (or to) us as a U.S. senator. Is she a little embarrassed about her role as an obedient lapdog for the team of Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, as they’ve joined with the Obama administration in creating the most job-killing and hostile business climate ever? And how about the exploding deficit and debt, as she voted hundreds of billions of our dollars on bailouts and so-called “stimulus” programs that our children and theirs will pay for?

Are those ads the best Patty can do? Don’t the people of Washington state deserve more from our senator?

Can this nation really afford six more years of legislators like her? We can do better. Maybe it’s time for her to return to the real world and join the ranks of the newly unemployed.
