Lady Dems still in love

How long will it take for the Lady Democrats and their well-oiled letter to the editor campaign to get over this slobbering love affair with the most incompetent president this country has ever seen? Their constant griping about gas prices and war interventions of the seven Bush years have been replaced now with the nit-picking of Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers’ leadership role in the House.

We had seven years of war with Bush and five years with the ever-expanding war involvements under President Barack Obama. Gas prices which were then $1.80 are now near $4, corruption in the Internal Revenue Service, deceitful connections in Libya, Syria and Egypt. All of this was going to change when Obama was elected.

Sally and Lady Dems, that was five years ago, with no end in sight, and Jackson now wants to find fault with McMorris Rodgers over food stamp allocations that have grown by 15 million since Obama took office. The return to the Bush gas price era would buy tons of food for us all.

It is too late now for partisan politics.
