Cantwell out of bounds

The state of Washington is in great shape. It’s so good that Sen. Maria Cantwell is getting bored to the point that all she can think of is to demand that the Washington Redskins – a formidable team with a nationally known reputation and respect – change their name as to not offend her and other liberals. This does not, should not, concern her other than political hoopla. Is there not something befitting her position that could draw attention to situations and things in Washington state (the one over here in the West) that she could take interest in?

Cantwell seldom receives criticism in our local press, as Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers does. Maybe it’s because the Democrats have nothing good to say about their own party, so all they can do is to try to talk dirt of any and all Republicans, while President Obama, Sen. Harry Reed, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, Attorney General Eric Holder and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have done such a wonderful job of destroying the American Dream for personal satisfaction and political power.
