Again, McMorris Fails to Speak out

Thursday, November 30th, 2017 at 9:00 pm

Once again, Republican Cathy McMorris Rodgers in the U.S. House of Representatives from the 5th Congressional District fails to speak out.  A few days ago, Trump used a Native American name, specifically Pocahontas, to denigrate Senator Elizabeth Warren because of her very distant Native American Heritage. Most of you probably see why this is racist.  It is using someones name in vain, and choosing a historical minority person as the name.

Actually, the actual historical details of Pocahontas possibly quite gruesome.  Much of it is no Disney story. She was kidnapped and allegedly raped and poisoned by white settlers.  I sincerely  doubt that our idiot President was aware of that, but it just adds to the insult.

From Senator Lisa Brown who is running against McMorris Rodgers . . . Read the rest of this entry

Taxation without Representation that has a Clue

Look folks, our U.S. economy is doing well. There is no need to cut taxes for the rich to stimulate investment into the U.S. economy.  There is plenty investment capital, but Cathy McMorris Rodgers and the other Republicans in the U.S. House or Representatives voted again to give another huge tax break for the rich. Simply stated, the only reason they cut taxes  was to do a political favor for the corporate and super rich Republican base. For more information about her, read here. Read the rest of this entry

Matt Shea (R) in the News Again: Changes to Electoral College Delegates

Monday, February 4th, 2013 at 11:02 pm  
Comments

Matt SheaWashington State Representative Matt Shea (R) of Spokane Valley wants to change how the State divides up its electoral college delegates for the U.S. President.  Currently, the majority winner of Washington States’ popular vote gets all the delegates.  Matt Shea wants to divide the electoral college delegates between Eastern and Western Washington.  Shea’s idea would likely benefit Republican candidates since Democratic candidates for President usually win the majority of popular votes in the State of Washington and Republicans usually win the majority of votes in Eastern Washington.  Read the rest of this entry

It is a sad day when someone has to be afraid for their life because of a threat of violence. It makes it even worse when the threat of violence comes from an elected official who (is supposed to) hold the public trust. This is what happened in November, 2011. It was Republican State Representative Matt Shea, Spokane Valley, WA, 4th Legislative District, who pulled a loaded handgun on Leroy Norris of Spokane County.  Here is a YouTube video that we produced about the incident involving Matt Shea.  Spokane is safer without him.  Read the rest of this entry

Rob McKenna won the first debate? I don’t think so

Thursday, June 21st, 2012 at 9:09 pm  
Comments

Rob McKenna has been making his rounds with the outlandish claim that he won the first debate with candidate Jay Inslee for Governor of Washington.  The debate occurred in Spokane two weeks ago.  Maybe McKenna thought  it was a contest to be the most annoying, or the most elitist, or perhaps who could bash middle-class American’s the hardest.

To quote one audience member who was at the Jay Inslee vs. Rob McKenna debate, Rob McKenna was apparently “blaming homeowners for the financial crisis.”
