Stop voting for extremists

Fri., Oct. 18, 2013

Congress’ approval rating at an all-time low? Who knew? The thing is, we keep electing the same representatives.

We point our fingers at other parts of the country and ask “how could you?” And we hold Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers blameless. I blame the voters. Republicans, find a centrist and put her or him on the ballot. Democrats, find a centrist and put her or him on the ballot.

Voters, do your job, and vote.
