Chris seems to be buying into more of this Republican spinning and distortion.
If anyone changes his or her vote from Murray to Nethercutt because of the spinning of these comments, that person is not paying enough attention. I really can’t even believe we’re talking about this.
This is just a stupid lowball desperation attack by Nethercutt because he has no chance to win this race. He’s down 14 points in the latest poll, and Washington voters are a lot smarter than to fall to these tactics -- same reason why Kerry is creaming Bush in the polls for this state. We’re just a smarter state that reads into everything that is said, instead of just seeing what’s on the surface.
The comment by Murray about bin Laden was to inform young people why bin Laden has a draw in Afghanistan and why there are terrorists. She was informing these students of what we need to do to stop the breeding of evil men like bin Laden and those who follow his message. It’s that simple.
People who believe that Patty Murray thinks bin Laden is a great guy are foolish. Yes, some of her views might be ‘skewed’ into what attracts people to bin Laden in the Middle East because most of the attraction is just extreme fundamentalist religion -- but, there are some who are drawn to him by what he attempts to do for his country to overshadow the evil he does to others, and she understands that.
Nethercutt is in the wrong state if he thinks his tactics will help get him elected. Murray was not out of line, and she will continue to be a hard-working member of the Homeland Security Appropriations Sub-committee and great senator for our state.
