Murray’s record telling
November elections are fast approaching and pivotal votes will be cast. One candidate who must be critically examined is Sen. Patty Murray who has supported programs which are economically catastrophic for America. She has shown herself to be an ardent progressive a la Barack Obama, seemingly rubber-stamping his destructive programs. She has consistently supported federal spending that is rapidly leading us to national bankruptcy.
For example, she voted yea on the health care reform, stimulus, cash for clunkers, TARP and many other ineffective bills that add to our obscene deficit and national debt. The website www.votesmart.org lists all of Sen. Murray’s votes.
To confirm Sen. Murray’s agenda, watch her votes for the next four months. Especially watch for her support for Sen. Dodd’s new U.N.-inspired, Liveable Communities Act, his final push to control the people. This act will establish a giant federal bureaucracy called the Office of Sustainable Housing and Communities whose functions include forcing homeowners to spend perhaps up to $35,000 to upgrade their homes, thereby helping to fulfill environmentalists’ dreams.
Evaluate Sen. Murray’s campaign rhetoric carefully. As Dr. Phil says, “The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior.”
