I posted this earlier on a different thread, but I'll reiterate it here:
What I have trouble understanding, is why we are being so seemingly childish about losing the Boeing contract. I was a little embarrassed when I saw Rep. McDermott being so belligerent at the Air Force hearing; and hearing Rick Larson and Patty Murray's opposition gives off the impression that we are somewhat petty and isolationist here in Washington State. Yes, real jobs and opportunities will be lost. Yes, it is a discouraging blow to Washington States economy. No, we shouldn't be so childish about it. As well, I wish our representatives had a little more integrity than proving so transparently to be slaves to their constituents.
