State’s Democrats not addressing our problems

Published 1:30 am Monday, October 10, 2022

What perfect timing for Gov. Jay Inslee to end his unconstitutional “emergency powers” just before the November elections! I wonder when the electorate around here will wake up to how they are being manipulated by our local and national Democratic politicians.

Now we are finding out that Inslee is building another war chest in order to possibly make another futile run for president or even a fourth term as governor. It is unfortunate that the Washington State Republican Party can’t seem to find an honest person with integrity that is electable and can face up to the likes of Inslee, or state Attorney General Bob “What Constitution?” Ferguson or King County Executive Dow “Closet Socialist” Constantine.

These are all people that have complete disregard for what their constituents really care about: rising crime in our towns and cities, porous borders that are filling our nation with people coming into this nation illegally and drugs that are killing our people by the millions, rising inflation that is hitting our middle and lower classes the hardest and tax-and-spend policies that are destroying our middle class.

Apparently now we are advising our military heroes to go on food stamps if they can’t afford to feed their families while we forgive debts of college students and graduates at taxpayers’ expense. There is an answer to student debt. It’s called “work.” I’ve used the frog in the water analogy and I will again. Please wake up, people, before we lose our country.
