CMR leads lemming parade
Too bad Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers likes to lead the lemmings off the cliff, but that is just like the voters of the 5th Congressional District, following zombie-like the thoughtless masses in front of them.
She abhors how the government is run so poorly. In fact, it is the Republicans in Congress, with their obstructionism of anything the Obama administration tries to do, that is responsible for the poor quality of our government. This sets the scene so the Republican bloc can turn around and say to the unenlightened, “Because the government is running so poorly, you need to keep us in power to protect ‘the people!’ “
Cathy needs your vote to keep her job running government off the cliff, so go ahead and vote against your best interest and send her back to help run the oligarchy. She could care less about “we the people”; she cares only about keeping her job and keeping the 1 percent in power, i.e., the corporations that pay for her and her friends’ agenda.
