We hope you had a great Thanksgiving! Barack Obama pardoned a turkey, which means Jay Inslee’s liberal political agenda lives on yet another year. In honor of that, we here at SHIFT would like to present the 2015 Turkey Awards where we give you 2015’s biggest political turkeys of Washington State. So, without further ado, here are the unpardonable turkeys of this year.
- The Turkey Award for the most ridiculous political stance in 2015 (and for years to come) goes to…
The Washington State Democrat Party for listing a state income tax as a guiding principle for the next two years in its party platform.
- The Turkey Award for sleaziest political scandal goes to…
Disgraced Democrat State Auditor Troy Kelley for being charged with 17 counts of criminal activity, the most serious of which carries a 20-year prison sentence. It is more than obvious that Kelley has lost the public’s trust. Yet, he still refuses to resign.
- The Turkey Award for the most irrelevant politician goes to…
Jay Inslee for presenting an agenda that was dead on arrival during the 2015 legislative session. Not even members of his own party supported his extreme “green” policies. He proved himself to be a completely irrelevant leader.
- The Turkey Award for the worst way to fundraise goes to…
Jay Inslee’s staff for spending time and money peddling his paint-by-numbers drawings in a bizarre fundraising ploy. Inslee’s campaign staff sent emails offering recipients an “opportunity” to receive one of Inslee’s “originals.” To receive an Inslee “original,” all one would have to do is make a donation.
- The Turkey Award for the most hypocritical politician(s) goes to…
All Democrats for every single time they point the finger at Republicans for accepting “dark money,” because they are—after all—the worst offenders when it comes to hidden donors.
