Patty is paying off

Sat., Sept. 4, 2010

The way I see it, Di“NO” Rossi wants us to send him to D.C. to join the party of no. If I recall, Patty Murray has acquired more of OUR tax dollars for OUR city, county and state (i.e., the VA, Fairchild, Boeing and North Spokane Corridor, just to name a few) than her counterpart, Cathy McMorris Rodgers, who voted no on all these and then shows up at the ribbon-cutting ceremony, smiling like, “look what I done for you.”

Let’s say no to Di“NO” and keep Patty where she belongs, working for us, not Wall Street, big oil and big banks that got us in this mess. We don’t need another “no” rubber-stamper representing us. Remember in November. Also, let’s make Cathy a full-time mom while we’re at it.
