An example of slimy politics: Herrera's latest mailer.

Congresswoman Jaime Herrera Beutler has repeatedly proven herself to be utterly worthless except for her ability to get re-elected.

She has had 8 years to address the Number One economic issue confronting the people of Southwest Washington, namely, resolving the obvious problems concerning cross-river transportation.

What has she accomplished in these 8 years?

Absolutely nothing.

Her latest mailer, sent out at taxpayer expense, is a pure campaign piece. "Jaime fights against Oregon tolls."

"Tell me what you think of the proposed tolls on I-5 and I-205."

It's of note that Herrera has, to date, already failed to do anything about these tolls.

And it's not as if she's opposed to ALL tolls, you see.  She has no problem charging the people of Clark County tolls to get the CRC/Loot Rail scam up and running.

But that's what the downtown mafia who owns her like the 13th Amendment was never passed demands that she does.

But the purpose of this mailer is to set in your minds the idea that she opposes ALL tolls... which is simply not true.

She has no problem sucking the $100,000,000+ a year out of the Clark County economy that tolls for the CRC Scam would cost us; she's just got a problem with OREGON tolling us.

And why does she have a problem with it?

Because she knows that when Oregon enslaves the people of Washington State like the blood-sucking worms they are, that will monumentally galvanize even MORE opposition to the CRC Scam over HERE because THAT unneeded, unwanted and unaffordable rip off will charge ADDITIONAL tolls that Herrera DOES want... and the people will freak.  Her opposition to Oregon tolls, besides being based on political expedience, is based on her concern that it will be a problem the CRC won't survive.

Confusing, isn't it?

This piece, for example, doesn't come out and say:  "I will fight against ALL tolls," or what she occasionally calls "user fees" when it suits her.

Oh, no. 

Just the tolls OREGON would impose...a political distinction that Herrera hopes is without a difference.

I'm sure that, right now, if a poll were held in Clark County today, the majority responding would answer yes to the question: "Is Jaime Herrera Beutler opposed to tolls?" And many people who read this mailer would answer in the affirmative as a result.

Even though the reality is that such a conclusion is far, far from the truth and she's playing you, the people supporting her, like a violin.

Vote for whomever you like.  But when someone is making an effort to manipulate you like Herrera is, it should at least give you pause.
