I discovered the amazing power of technology this weekend. I have a digital video recorder from a cable company and as fate would have it, I still have a movie I recorded in October 2008. The movie was not all that great but what I did find amazing were the commercials. For two hours I watched the fear-mongering commercials from Christine Gregoire, the Democratic Party, the unions and the medical industry, not to mention law enforcement folks, telling us how Dino Rossi would do all these horrible things to Washington state if he were governor.
Then I look at the newspaper and every last evil and despicable and vile thing they tried to scare us with has happened just as predicted. But wait, the governor’s name is Gregoire, not Rossi. Health care gone for kids in need, school funding gone, taxes raised, sell out to the unions, spending out of control, unbalanced budget, and on and on it goes.
I sure hope all those who donated to make those commercials got what they wanted. A state in crisis, a capital full of double talk, and a governor who every day amazes me by just how deceptive and clueless she is.
