Inslee puts our lives in peril

I see our governor, a follower not a leader, wants us to welcome thousands of people who’d like to kill us. As the “Saturday Night Live” Church Lady used to say, “Isn’t that special?” I swear the man was behind the door when they were passing out brains! How dare he put our lives in even more peril? God bless all the governors who do not follow Obama’s every dictum.

Do you realize that if everyone in our state who has “voter’s remorse” for not electing Rob McKenna as governor, stomped their feet at the same time, it would cause one heck of an earthquake? That man is a leader.

As an independent I vote for the person, not the party. Wake up Washington! Vote while you still have the opportunity not offered under Sharia law! As my dear old Daddy used to say, “Use your head for something besides a hat rack.”
