There really is no lie Ridgefield Barbie won't tell.

So, we have Jaime Herrera, who has lied about everything from being a "senior legislative aide" for her keeper McMorris, to leaving her job on the floor so her seat mate could take her votes while she was out fund raising, to ditching those of us in her district for a special interest Washington DC fundraiser to co-sponsoring and voting for SEIU legislation to her vote to strip out the last $229 million from the state emergency fund.

Well, her only response to these truths is to attack the character of those pointing these things out.

Tough, the empty suit from Ridgefield needs to get used to it.

Yesterday, she made a complete fool of herself in Lacey. In response to the truth that she voted with the democrats and ditched her own caucus in voting to empty the state emergency fund to help her friends blow our money, she could only sputter:

"To mischaracterize that as spending should show you the character and integrity of the two people standing before you,"

That much is exactly right, Babs. You clearly have no integrity or character, since, in fact, you DID vote for that bill and it WAS to empty out the state emergency fund, much to our lasting shame.

Did Ed Orcutt vote for that crap pile?

No.

Did Joe Zarelli vote for it?

No.

Did 28 other members of your caucus vote for it?

No.

Then, according to the article, Herrera babbled thusly:

Herrera also said she wanted to tap the state's savings to avoid seeing Democrats raise taxes by more than they did raise them.

Again, did Ed Orcutt vote for that crap pile?

No.

Did Joe Zarelli vote for it?

No.

What did they know that you, in your ignorance, did not know?

She then went on to lie about her SEIU Co-sponsorship of HB 1329, the bill requiring child care workers to unionize if one child was receiving state subsidies.

We're told:

Herrera defended the child-care vote. She said small business owners in her district had asked her to support the bill, which was meant to give child-care centers more clout in getting fair payment from the state for the care of vulnerable kids. The alternative was to push out kids from low-income families. She said the bill does not require workers at the centers to pay dues, which instead are borne by the center owners.

Did Ed Orcutt vote for that crap pile?

No.

Did Joe Zarelli vote for it?

No.

Did 28 other members of your caucus vote for it?

No.

What did they know that you, in your ignorance, did not know?

OK. Here's a lie:

She said small business owners in her district had asked her to support the bill,

Yet, NONE of those "small business owners" testified in favor of the bill! And Herrera has yet to name any or produce them to verify her statement.

Why does she have to lie about it?

Unions gave Herrera $5000 for her election back in 2008. Herrera just paid them back for giving her campaign money... happens all the time in politics.

It's despicable, of course, but the proof is in the pudding. And it's so.... Herrera.

I would like to have her explain that issue though: It seems the only people testifying in favor of Herrera's sell out were unions.

Why is that? And why is she lying about it?

And then this stupidity:

which was meant to give child-care centers more clout in getting fair payment from the state for the care of vulnerable kids. The alternative was to push out kids from low-income families.

So, she admits that she pushed for a bill that would jam taxpayers even more? And I have this question: since the senate killed this bill in reality, exactly how many kids have been "pushed out" as a result?

And then THIS beaut:

She said the bill does not require workers at the centers to pay dues, which instead are borne by the center owners.

Is it any wonder that day care centers testified AGAINST this bill? Herrera would screw THEM to make THEM pay THEIR EMPLOYEES UNION DUES!

What a moron. No wonder SEIU bought her with their campaign donations.

Disgust at you selling out isn't a matter of coercion. It's a matter that for a few campaign donations, you abandoned Republican principles, became a union lackey, and then lied about it, while attacking those who would question your non-existent judgment.

She went on to babble:

She also said she would vote for her district, not the party or partisan interests, "every day and twice on Sunday," and that she could not be "coerced" by her party.

Well, true enough. Instead, she was coerced by her union owners, voting against BOTH Zarelli, who helped kill this bill AND Orcutt, who voted "no" on this labor crap pile.

Why anyone would want to support an empty-suited liar like Herrera, who hasn't even lived here for 11 out of the last 13 years is simply beyond me.

How anyone thinks she's anything approaching "conservative" given that she co-sponsored SEIU legislation and then lied about it is also a mystery.

But then, those 3 democrat counties endorsing her might have an answer.
