My spouse and I attended this meeting this morning in Kitsap County (across the Sound from Seattle). Because I am continuously reading DU and keeping informed through other internet Democratic/Progressive organizations, I wondered if my distrust and anger at the Republican Administration was a little extreme and maybe not realistic. BUT, after spending almost two hours hearing Jay Inslee speak of his recent experiences in congressional sessions, I am convinced that the Republicans are way, way out of control as far as power, greed, fear-mongering, and "religion". He spoke openly about witnessing bribes and threats, especially during the medicare bill voting. He also acknowledged the problems with BBV, the money taken from veterans and the elderly, from education and medical care basically for corporate tax-cuts. It really sounds as though the Democrats in Congress have their hands tied and at times, Inslee showed a deep anger and frustration. Now I know my own anger and fear of this administration are NOT simply because I over-indulge in DU or other left-leaning info. sources--it's REAL. Most of you probably already know this, but it was mind-blowing for me to hear a congress person be so honest, angry, frustrated, and advocating the need for "regime" change.
