CMR’s personal touch

Wed., May 30, 2018

All these years that our ersatz representative, Cathy McMorris Rodgers, has been in office she has never once given me the time of day. Now that elections are coming up I receive a “personal” letter from her stating how she is doing everything possible to protect my Social Security and Medicare. What a short memory she has – but fortunately not I!

And what’s with this down-home accent she has in her TV commercials? I’ve lived here 67 years and I don’t sound like a country hick. Does she refine her accent when she is cavorting with Trump in D.C.? If she gets re-elected I will be convinced our election process is rigged and I will withdraw my name as an American voter.
