Kudos and accolades to freshman Republican Rep.Dave Reichert from Washington’s 8th District (Bellevue, Mercer Island). He took a brave and principled stand Sunday night--1 of only 5 House Republicans to vote against the troglodyte leadership on the ill-considered Schiavo bill.
MSG TO SHERIFF DAVE: I wouldn’t have voted for you in November, but keep this up and you’ll rival Sec.of State Sam Reed for the honors as blatherWatch’s Favorite Republican! If Majority Leader Tom Delay’s reputation for meanspirited tactics is worth its salt, you won’t be getting many bills out of committee this year...but if you should chance decide to change parties in ‘06, Democrats would be more than welcoming, though you’d probably have to check your sidearm at the door.
Reichert is a co-sponsor of the most bigoted legislation since Jim Crow laws - VAWA.
He is anti-father and anti-family and ought to change to the democratic party. It would be most honest, since he is a Republican and just counting on the male vote by default. Meanwhile, he sticks a knife in their back.
At least you know where Murray and Maria Cantwell stand. They are proud of their hatred of men and fathers. Reichert is hoping we don't notice.
So, take him, PLEASE!
