Rep. Moeller, like us, is sick of EFF's whining

Stefan of unsoundpolitics yesterday posted an email that Representative Moeller, a Democrat from Vancouver, sent to Bob Williams, the leader of the Evergreen "Freedom" Foundation, a conservative think tank based in Olympia.

EFF has sparked our ire on a number of issues, particularly education, where it aims its propoganda at teachers - particularly through the U.S. Mail - trying to get them to quit the Washington Education Association.

We're sick of their whining. And apparently, Rep. Moeller is sick of it too. He tells it like it is to Bob Williams:
Sour grapes Mr. Williams! You are a Republican (or perhaps Libertarian). Your candidate [Dino Rossi] lost. End of story. People aren't being prosecuted because there was no fraud. You and the Republican party went venue shopping hoping you could find a sympathic ear in Eastern Washington for your pleas and what you got was an ear full. Why or why did I not hear you howls of protest of fraud, enhanced ballots, and illegal voting after the presidential election of 2000? Because you candidate won! Jesus, you are so transparent as to be comical. Move on Mr. Williams or better yet, just move.

Sincerely,

Representative Jim Moeller
49th Legislative District
P. O. Box 40600
Olympia, WA 98504-0600
360-786-7872
Stefan, of course, says this is "a dumb email from an elected official." Stefan says this because he doesn't like what Rep. Moeller wrote - because Rep. Moeller is a Democrat.

Imagine a role reversal - a Republican legislator writing to a director of a Democratic think tank, telling them to quit whining.

Stefan would praise that kind of letter.

We're Democrats, and we think Rep. Moeller got it right on. Additionally, we think Stefan's commentary was the latest in a series of Dumb Blog Posts from Half-Witted Republican Bloggers. So there.
