Washington state appears to be exceptional in having a senior U.S. Senator who has been nesting for nearly a third of a century since 1992: Patty Murray. Sen. Murray, the self-styled ‘mom in tennis shoes’ would be more aptly called the ‘commie in tennis shoes’ since she is rated one of the most left-wing senators by numerous groups as indicated by the non-partisan Ballotpedia and she votes with the Democratic Party 97 percent of the time according to OpenCongress.
For decades, Murray has had her opportunity to make things better and has she? If you like our criminal justice system, then I say vote for Murray; if the national debt increasing from $5 trillion to $25 trillion on her watch doesn’t bother you, then vote for Murray; if losing energy independence in two years does not chap your hide, then vote for Murray; if you love paying five dollars a gallon for gas, then vote for Murray; if your children are better educated, then vote for Murray; if you think 4.9 million illegal aliens crossing the border in the past two years is sustainable, then vote for Murray; if 8.5 percent inflation does not hurt your pocketbook, then vote for Murray; if 10 percent of the U.S. population having an addictive drug habit does not scare you, then vote for Murray.
But, if you want someone representing you who has not been around the other Washington since the earth was cooling, vote for Tiffany Smiley. Vote for someone who will change the atmosphere in the other Washington; vote for someone who truly understands what service means.
