Dino Rossi: Moderate image doesn’t hold up

Dino Rossi is fraudulently selling himself as a moderate consensus builder. His career has been openly anti-gay, anti-labor, anti-women’s rights, anti-higher education funding, anti-immigrant, anti-Medicaid for children and anti-serious compromise.

What Rossi projects as working across the aisle was a worthless 2017 budget bill he cynically crafted to try to make Democrats look bad.

A failed Senate bill last year was a Rossi attempt to ban state workers from donating to gubernatorial candidates. No consideration was given to similarly banning corporations that get state contracts or other wealthy lobbying constituents — Rossi’s primary financiers.

Who owns Rossi? Look at his failed past campaigns and and current campaign for 8th Congressional District: BIAW, a strong-arm anti-environment, anti-labor organization; American Crossroads and Crossroads GPS, anti-labor PACs created by Karl Rove, extremist protector of billionaires; American Action Network, an anti-Consumer Protection and anti-ACA organization; Club for Growth, eliminating taxes for the wealthy and ending social programs like Medicare; and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, anti-labor and anti-regulation.

Other big money supporters include Wells Fargo, American Bankers Association, Moneytree, Goldman Sachs, NRA and the infamously corrupt Koch brothers.

They all love Rossi because he fights for them — not the middle class and certainly not the disadvantaged.
