Well, if I don't get those tax cuts, I'll have to cut payroll. And if I don't get enough calories every day, I'll have to amputate one of my arms, because I just can't afford to keep it running.

I'll do it. Don't make me do it. Give me tax cuts.

Patty brings home the bacon and red-county voters know it. She will steamroll Rossi &/or Didier.

Saw the ad on TV while dressing up for work. I was curious about who comprises this American Action Network (BTW, the name sounds so America, Fuck Yeah!).

And...

Supported legislation: lower the minimum wage and loosen environmental regulations.

I think we should go back to Reagan's tax rates during his first term.

80 percent upper income tax bracket sounds fair to me.
7
Hope Dino's got some of those "How To Get rich, Rich, RICH! In The Foreclosure Market" seminars lined up for fall - sounds like he's going to be needing a new source of income after the November general election.

Very rich people want you to believe that tax cuts for them will help you. It's a lie. It's always been a lie. If WA wants to improve it's business climate it should simply replace the sales tax with a mildly progressive income tax.
9
So is anyone pointing out that Dino is just a scam artist? He, like Palin perhaps, just says whatever someone tells him to say, He doesn't care nor have to care about being right, consistent or compassionate because he people wont call him on anything if he doesnt talk to anyone.
10
By the way, I thought Patty was 5'2" ... are you sure it's only 5'0"?
11
what an ineffective ad!

They don't even list any votes she made or back up any of their claims. Most ads at least take elected official's voting records out of context. They don't even try!

Very lame. Won't hurt her at all.

They end their ad with "learn more". Not even "learn more by going to something.com

And when you do go to their awful and ugly website you have to click around to find the "meat" behind what they are saying -- and it's mostly about her favoring EPA regulations and opposing tax cuts for the rich.

Those arguments aren't going to work in a year with the middle class suffering and the BP oil disaster.
12
They liked Bush!!! They want to continue the disastrous policies that have made the mess we're in, including the gulf disaster! Go get them Patty! Rub their noses in Bush! Take no prisoners!
13
Oh and to find out what they are talking about you have to open a fricken PDF file!

Ads are supposed to be easy and are for low information voters.

This ad isn't even scary.

Where's the horror music? Where's the images of her taking money from grandma?

You see her first walk on a guy in a suit! WTF!

lame Lame Lame
15
Seemed pretty ineffective to me as well... Though I do think the "learn more" may be strangely appealing to those who have a vague sense that they are somehow disatisfied but cannot arriculate why or how to fix it. Once you provide an actual answer there is something concrete to repudiate.
16
All the blowhard BS from the right can't make Douchey McIdiot any smarter.
17
Their youtube had a measly 327 views. I wonder how many of them came from this post.

Patty Gov't service is not a career . Your time has long gone. You do not listen to the people. Tax cuts for small business. Cut the size of Gov't and stop the crazy spending for programs we cannot afford.

@18

Hey douche-bag Rossi staffer! Thanks for playing!

When in our nation's history was government service NOT a career?

Please don't tell me a story about how our "founding fathers" were all poor farmers who just happened be selected to represent average colonists in Philadelphia one summer.

You Republicans are NOT offering tax cuts for small businesses. As a small business owner I can attest that the Bush tax cuts DID NOT help the middle class nor did it help us small business owners. What it did do was help the mega rich while at the same time ballooning our national debt.

No fucking way will I vote for Rossi and vote to go back to those days! The Bush tax cuts need to expire.

As for as cutting the size of government, I agree. We need to cut the size of the US military. And I say this as a veteran.

We also need to bring back the tax code pre-Reagan and start building our infrastructure again.

If Eisenhower were alive today, he would be considered a socialist by modern Republican standards.

That add has come on 4 times this evening. What a waste of money. Patty play it up Dino wants it like the Bush years. What an idiot he is.
21
I USED TO HAVE A SMALL BUSSINESS, NOW I GO TO FOOD BANKS, THAT DOESN'T HAVE FOOD. WELL WE KEPT OUR MOUTHS SHUT TO LONG. NOW YOU PAY FOR IT. LOOK AT WHO VOTED THESE PEOPLE INTO OFFICE, BET THEIR NOT IN A FOOD LINE. SEATTLE YUPPIES. NOW US PLAIN EVERYDAY HARD WORKING PEOPLE ,BETTER START FIGHTING,THERES MORE THEN ONE COUNTY IN THIS STATE, OPEN YOUR MOUTH,GET THEM OUT OF OFFICE.
22
@21: And none of that is Patty Murray's fault. As for there being more than county in WA, 1/3rd of Washington's population lives here in King County. If you want to live in a red state, move to one.
23
@21

WHY ARE YOU YELLING?

SO your small business failed because Senator Murray wants the Bush tax cuts to expire?

YOU AINT TOO BRIGHT ARE YOU?????
24
patty murray needs to stay right where she is. take your beeno there"ll be no dino.
25
Thank you, after watching that political ad I will surely be voting for PATTY MURRAY !!!!!! That is one of the most ignornant ads I have seen other than any of Sarah Palin's babble!!
26
Sure she's a corporate stooge in sensible shoes now,but the alternative is worse!
I mean would you buy a used economy from the people who gave you the Great Recession?
Seriously,all the Republicans have are more tax cuts and less regulation;that's worked so well for everybody so far,hasn't it?
The income tax is at it's lowest level since World War II and the economy is doing just great!
Since Social Security and Medicare eat up most of the discretionary spending money Congress has let's do away with both.That way grandma and grandpa can live in poverty and die from a disease that could easily have been treated and cured if they'd had any money.
27
Well I can say Patty is definitely better than Maria in my opinion.
But one person I heard on the radio one night said something stupid.

Vote every incumbent out of office... Granted I think he was a idiot, but I do admit that would get the attention of every politician in this country... and remind them.

You work for us... not us for you.
28
BOY!!!! OH BOY!!!! I read some of the comments on here and realize that the dems of Washington are the biggest idiots, maybe it's the water or lack of sunshine.But I do know that Washington is the 5th highest taxed state in the union.And for all you people out there that think owning a business is a breeze think again, after you pay your 941's, 940's' B&O, L&I, Unemployment security ( and yes employers pay $ 1.00 per hour for all employees for L&I AND
Unemployment that's $2.00 an hour per employee) DO THE MATH..... There's not much left. I want to know how can you people back the democrats?????? They've ruined this country. Corrupt no good rotten b******!!!!! And for all you Obama fans, one more term of him and you'll see this country destroyed. But most democrats are un-American anyway. Well, with the dems in power you won't have an America for much longer.
29
Get the socialist tax and spend midget back baking cookies....GO ROSSIE

I'm so sick and tired of this MUSLIM pResident not taking any action and ruining our reputation by cowtowing to these TERRORISTS in PAKISTAN. I just wish they would IMPEACH him over not taking care of this oil spill because he is in bed with BP. Maybe if we talk to our congressmen they will find a way to show his real BIRTH CERTIFICATE from indonesia. We need to have this tea party movement grow so that we can go back to the principles of our founding fathers. Allow slavery in certain states so that we can keep the minorities in line so they don't cause too much trouble. TEA PARTY '12

Murray is a joke.Bring home what bacon? She totally screwed up the Boeing tanker deal the first time around and is trying to take credit for doing little too late. This time around she should be stepping up and making sure Boeing gets the contract..
33
I'm a vet, a disable one at that. I had sought out Murray help for my benefits and her office had turn their backs on me, and told me if I didn't like it go see another senator who really cares. To me she does not care for us Vets. Just for the record it was Mr. Brown that I was dealing with, however I did send help office a letter stating what had happen but never got a response.
34
Yeah that figures it would have to be Dino and the TEA PARTIERS behind such a out and out shit load of trash.
35
Why do liberals just flat lie, Patti is owned by the unions and big business. She is a puppet for the guy from Africa. She does whatever he wants and is just that weak. If she ever paid her bills like we have to, she wouldn't have been elected. That ad says it like she has always been, just ask the people she worked with in business. Ego, vain and useless, but with our union dollars paying for this Liberal fiasco we have now, no wonder people want a change.

Ever try to get an answer out of one of her offices? They act like your intruding, see how intrusive it is without a job, government workers.
36
There is no way I would ever vote for Mr. Rossi. Patty has done a good job, esp. for the veterans. I am a retired CCRN and the last 12 yrs of my career I worked at the Seattle VA. DarS., RN,BSN,CCRN ret.
37
Kinaidos has it right: replace the sales tax with a progressive income tax, and the state budget will look a whole lot brighter. Starting taxation at 150k+ income would generate plenty of revenue. Not only that, but it would be by far the most effective economic stimulus package that anyone could offer. One addition to that: get rid of the B&O tax. Double taxation is unjust, and is strangling small businesses. Taxing gross receipts rather than net income is ridiculous. Whoever came up with that idea is NOT in favor of small business.
38
It seems to me that anyone who falls for this green agenda isnt to bright, but ive never accused king county of that. As for a red state, other than King county the rest of the state is red. the people of Seattle continue to tax themselves into oblivian. It is very expensive to live in King county and I for one am sick of paying for it since I dont live there. cap and tax, porkulus, and this abomination called health care were supported by Murray.

Who do you people think is going to pay for all this welfare, this only deepens the divide between the rich and the poor. There are plenty of people out there who will settle for a government handout instead of bettering their own lives.

Please wait...
