Let me say that I don't believe in personal attacks but.... Wit you need to think before you type. You have already told anyone who would read your post that you are on the far right. You have a vested political interest in keeping Slade Gorton in office because of your family's land holding in the wheat lands above the Snake River. You have failed to mention that they (your family) are some of the biggest receptionist of welfare. Welfare in the form of free use of the locks on those same Snake River dams to transport their wheat, not to mention the water that they siphon off at the taxpayer expense. Slade Gorton would be in favor of the initiative because he could stand to get even more political donations from the Asphalt pavers as a group by bringing even more federal monies to the state for road construction. Face it our political system is for sale to the highest bidder and money talks and bull$h!t walks. One thing that I have to say for Cantwell is she won't be beholding to any special interest group, not to say that I agree with her on every point but at least she will be her own person not owned by a few large farmers in eastern Washington. Small minded people are unable to think beyond their own personal interest and
instead once in a while think of the greater good of all the people not to mention the fish, deer, elk etc.... Wit I am sure that you are a good person at heart but at least open your mind and think. Don't believe all the political dogma that the right wing spews. The Germans had the same problem in the 30's. see ya!
