Unhappy with McMorris Rodgers

For nearly two years now, I’ve seen Cathy McMorris Rodgers’ smiling face in the lineup of the new Republican leadership of the House at every Obama-bashing press conference that John Boehner can contrive to pander to the radical tea party base.

She and her friends cynically manufactured a debt limit crisis to deflect from the wholesale corporate raid on the treasury that they facilitated for 20 years. Now she and her friends have managed to damage our nation’s credit rating with their phony ideological circus. She cannot escape responsibility for this debacle.

I’m sure Grover Norquist and Cathy’s other corporate masters are pleased. They are sitting on trillions in untaxed profits. But millions of unemployed Americans, many of them her own constituents, are wondering why Cathy and her friends don’t seem to care about them. Isn’t she supposed to be working for us?

Now Cathy’s on a five-week hiatus with no scheduled community meetings to face her constituents. No amount of corporate-funded propaganda can provide cover for your malfeasance in office, Cathy. Show yourself, so we can tell you to your face what we think of your slavish devotion to irrational, destructive ideologies.
