How can any good Republican in Washington state continue to support a national party that over the course of the Bush Administration has rejected virtually every promise ever made to voters?

Instead of being at peace, and spending money on restructuring and improving the readiness of our military, we are now stuck in a quagmire in the Middle East, and the recent National Intelligence report revealed that the amount of terrorist activity has increased around the world as a result.

Instead of the surplus left by President Clinton, we are suffering under an enormous deficit that will have economic effects for years.

The recent Foley scandal, the Valerie Plame affair, and other events show the Republicans in D.C. had no intention of "improving" the morality of our capitol.

Need I go on?
