CMR endorsment ‘insane’

Wed., July 27, 2016

I cannot believe you are again endorsing Cathy McMorris Rodgers. Many, many times over the years you have expressed dissatisfaction with her (and rightfully so) and that she is more concerned about voting with her party than for her constituency. You state “What Congress should accomplish is stymied by political dysfunction” and that “The incumbent is in House leadership.”

So doesn’t this quote apply to your endorsement? “Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” Albert Einstein
