"With these votes in your face, there's no doubt in the race..."

Ah, that's Dino.

With the Republican's in desperate need to put on a moderate face in their quest to recapture the Washington State Governor's mansion, they've take a wrong turn - to the right.

Just take a look at the radicalism of his record on issues related to working people. In 2001, he voted with the anti-worker Association of Washington Business 100% of the time, while voting against the worker friendly AFL-CIO agenda 80% of the time.

Business is always right, and labor is nearly always wrong? That's moderate?

That's hardly the most radical part of his record, though. Over at Pleasing To Remember, a blog maintained by one of Rossi's constituents, they've compiled a must read list of some of his stands, usually with a small minority of his most extreme colleagues, on a variety of issues.

The fact that Rossi can be considered a moderate by the current Republican leadership in this state shows just how far they've strayed from any kind of ideological realism.
