Ya lost me, Cathy
Spokane's rep in the Lower Nuthouse, Cathy McMorris, has unfortunately returned to her instinctual form. For the first two terms, she voted with the brand-R leadership most of the time, coming out especially strongly for Gramscian subversion. Anything that sounded nicey-nice, sounded like an advance of "rights" while actually clamping down on normal people, was wonderful with Cathy.
I voted against her in '06 because this was getting tiresome. Many others had the same revulsion, and she suffered a political near-death experience in a carefully designed safe district. Result: for a brief time in '08 she showed courage, voting with the people and against all the bailouts.
Now she's back to her natural tendencies, loudly supporting HR4247, a measure to eliminate restraints on bad kids. Yet another nice-sounding move, supposedly eliminating "abuse" of bad kids (in Party jargon, "special needs individuals"). Guaranteed result: Teachers will now refuse to exert any kind of control over bad kids ("special needs individuals") and the bad kids ("special needs individuals") will run rampant, bullying and beating the good and normal kids (in Party jargon, "unpersons").
You lost me forever on this one, Cathy. ¶ 12:18 PM
