She’s not collaborative

Wed., Jan. 16, 2013

Donald Hill (Jan. 10) is proud of Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers for being collaborative? Did he not hear her on the radio on Jan. 9 saying the Republicans will shut down the government to make a point about our president? She is not a leader; only a follower of her corporate-owned Republican bosses.

She’s one of many who did very little for their hefty congressional salaries last year, and ran up the bills that we must now raise the debt ceiling to pay.
