The metaphor of shuttered homes DNC, Republicans, The Big Strategy, Washington

Gibney over at Washblog points out a sign for Rep. Cathy McMorris out in front of of a shuttered farm house in eastern Washington. While the sign, and the house, probably belong to another farmer down the lane, the image evokes a strong message for any Western Democrat.

While the Republican Party has talked a big game in the past twenty or so years about the Western economy and getting government off the back of sagebrushers, they have delivered little. The show down between the Republican led federal government and their allies in the oil and gas business is just one example of Republicans selling Westerners down the river.
