One final thing, I was listening to Cathy give her speech at the Republican state convention this year and I heard something very disturbing, praise for Dave Reichert. Specifically,
“Now I want to mention, I have two great partners in Doc Hastings and Dave Reichert. . . .
And for Dave Reichert when it comes to homeland security and fighting bad guys there is no one tougher than the sheriff.” (39 minutes into the morning presentation—you can get the audio off TVU)
Why is this notable. June 26th, 2009 is a day that might go down in infamy (depending on what happens in the Senate). That is the day the House voted by a slim 219 to 212 majority to pass H.R. 2454 American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009. This is better known as the big carbon tax bill, or America's self imposed economic suicide. This could potentially be the worst piece of legislation ever authored in the last 50 years. In fact, every Congressman who voted on this, supporting this illegal takeover of our economy in the name of the fraudulent religion of manmade climate change should in my opinion be guilty of treason. Well on that day Cathy's “great partner,” Republican In Name Only (RINO) Dave Reichert voted for the carbon tax. This is an act that should have inspired a shun from EVERY SINGLE Republican, let alone legislators with common sense.
43 Democrats actually were smart enough to vote against this legislation. Reichert was only one of eight turncoat Republicans who voted for it. What is the use of having a Republican in office if they are not going to vote against the total economic enslavement of America? I have heard it said that he had to do it because of his district. What ever happened to doing the right thing on an important bill, putting the nation's future over one's political career. Every single person who voted for this bill should be shown the exit door this year, and I do not care WHAT party they are from. At least there is a 16% chance a random Democrat would have voted against the bill, we know 100% where Reichert stands.
Remember this is a person Cathy went out of her way to give praise to. I think she has been in the leadership in the party with no moral compass, and a “get Republicans elected at any cost, even if they are really progressives” attitude for too long. Cathy has got to go. We need a grassroots Constitutional conservative who has not buddied up to the likes of Dave Reichert.
Its had not to have her looked upon as Neo-Con who buddies up to Progressives. Out own local party has allowed dozens of these in just because they hold a bag of money in their hand.
