Politics BIAW: They Win Even When They Lose
Posted by Dan Savage on Fri, Jun 5, 2009 at 10:34 AM
Thanks to Washington state's ineffectual, spineless, craven, corporate-cock-sucking Democrats.
1
The BIAW brag about the wrong things. I blame Chopp. He has shown a willingness to play ball with those people.
2
Chopp & Co. are all about maintaining a Democratic majority, not about pursuing progressive policies. That is painfully obvious. Sometimes I wonder if he recruits candidates from anywhere besides local Chamber of Commerce meetings.
3
@1 and @2 for the dual wins.
That plus the continuing spineless behavior of Seattle area Dems unwilling to stand up for our interests while the minority outside our area run rings around them, since they're willing to press hard on everything.

Is there any type of progressive rating system based on our legislators vote so we know the good from the bad? I live in the 46th and have no idea if my reps vote the right way most of the time or not.
