We know that no political party are either all saints or demons, but if there ever was a time when Washingtonians should vote for Democrats it would be to keep support for the attorney general we’ve had.
Bob Ferguson’s office and crew of investigative attorneys have wasted no time pursuing high level and corporate consumer crooks here in our state whether it is acting to keep PSE (now owned by a foreign corporation) from gouging us to death with inordinate profit schemes, going after child sex traffickers, murderers, campaign finance violators (all parties), environment polluters, Medical cheats, tax cheats, deceptive advertisers, unethical debt collectors, and crooks of all kinds who don’t play by the rules.
In my eighty years watching politics since President FDR, I haven’t seen a Republican administration stand up for people like that. In spite of President Eisenhower’s warnings they usually support deceitfully unfounded wars that upset the world, enriching themselves with no-bid contracts that suck out the nation’s treasury so that programs like Social Security, Medicare, and consumer protections will die from insufficient funds since they’ve had no success in killing them (and all who depend on them) with legitimate legislation.
They misread the Constitution’s We-the-People to be Me-the-CEO all the while forgetting that its stated purpose is to establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense (not provoke unjustified wars), promote the general welfare, and perfect a union (of states) for securing the blessings of liberty. They complain about welfare corruption but replace it with wealthy corruption.
