I have been looking for Murray's stance on the 2nd Amendment, and bills she might have voted on and helped sponsor; Does anyone have any links to her anti-firearm policy?
Voting for who you want, instead of the lesser of two evils, is NOT wasting your vote. I'm so sick of hearing that. How many people have died for this country to allow us to vote how we want to? I will vote or write in who I feel should be there. If more people voted their conscience instead of for the best of the worst, this country probably wouldn't be in the mess that it is.
The time for that has passed. There are only two candidates on the ballot and it doesn't take a genius to know that any vote cast for another candidate will effectively be a vote for Patty Murray. Go ahead and cast a "feel good" vote but be prepared to be stuck with PM.
One of these two will be our next Senator. Sometimes "the best of the worst" is better than the "Worst of the Worst".
Complaining at this stage sounds like "Dixie Chick Syndrome"..
So, you're saying you prefer Rossi?Votes and sponsoring bills leaves a paper trail. I hope that someone on here that claims she is anti-2nd Amendment can come up with some sort of proof.
Unless this is one of those threads where people do a lot of accusing, but have no actual proof.
I will help you fellas out (I tried to find something about Dino's stance, but he has never served office FWIU, no experience, so whatever he says is for nothing, actions speak louder than words, and he has no action.):
I am sure there are more votes on record. Hopefully someone can find information on Dino or Didier, not likely.

Now, what I will do, is take the information that I have discovered and make and INFORMED decision. I will then ask my self if Dino means what he says.

No complaining here. I just get tired hearing about "wasted votes" and being "politically pragmatic". Republicans and Democrats alike have taken this country to where we are now. I'm just gonna sit back and watch what happens.
With that attitude you are absolutely right. Nothing will change. That's been the problem for too long. Everyone has had it pretty good so they didn't pay attention to politics. Now we are on the brink of economic collapse (see how good things are for you then) and we have far too many people with this attitude. Just remember your words "I don't really care who wins the seat, nothing will change anyway." If it all does finally turn to $h!t we can thank everyone who expressed this attitude when it came to making a change.
Hopefully the right will get their crap together, or Murray will have this one in the bag. If the right lose this election over Murray, it is by their own hand.
The Dixie Chicks didn't say anything wrong.
We already lost this one... clearly the last two years has done nothing to wake up Washington State. Both of them are losers, both make me want to throw them out of office, and both are greater evils. I was rooting hard for Didier because he understands the constitution. He is a man "of the people." Dino was an elect chosen by the Republican party. He did not originally intend to run. We have two options:
1. We can crawl in a pile of sh*t
2. We can swim in a pile of sh*t
You all make it sound like swimming is better than crawling, but we are still sh*t deep in crooked politicians.
The only reason I will vote for Dino is in hopes that Patty and other candidates might see this as the outcome for their bad work in office. If Dino wins by a landslide, only then will the politicians understand that doing wrong will only get them the boot. Hopefully Dino will get that message too...
