    She ran as a socialist, told everyone she was a socialist, bragged about being a socialist, and they still elected her. Works for me. Democracy is funny that way, the people get to elect who they want.

    I'll give her credit for not doing everything she could to cover up and lie about her socialist past, or about her plans for the future. It could be worse, she could have spent years going to a Christian church so people would think she is a Christian, she could have told everyone that she didn't believe in Gay marriage only to come out later and say she evolved, she could have.......

    I actually find it refreshing to have a die hard liberal socialist actually admit what they are. She doesn't worry me, the people of Seattle worry me for electing her however.

    Great points all around! Hopefully the people of Seattle get exactly what they're asking for. I won't feel a bit bad when they do.

    Let's see, Boeing is a warfare welfare recipient that is being attacked by someone who wants to give that money to other welfare recipients. Sounds similar to a farmer that receives government subsidies to not grow crops complaining about other welfare recipients that don't farm. Or a dairy farmer that benefits from government regulated price controls.
    I'm not in favor of this socialist's agenda, but the Military Industrial Complex largely controls politics in this country, regardless of which party is in power.
