Sound Politics: Loomis Connected to Hit Piece on Hope

Loomis Connected to Hit Piece on Hope

Liz Loomis, Democrat Representative in the 44th LD, is on the executive board of NARAL Washington, which sponsored a hit piece against Mike Hope, claiming a classic ad hominem: he shares for the alleged positions of some of his donors, including "fighting to deny diabetes screening, mammograms and overnight stays for newborn babies and their mothers." They say Hope is "bad for women, bad for women's health."

The whole piece is a lie in its implication that Hope has any of the beliefs presented in it, but the worst part of the piece was the claim that he is against mammograms, because Hope's wife, Sarai, had a lump removed in college thanks to preventative screening, and they both contribute significant time and money to breast cancer research, prevention, and treatment.

Color me unsurprised that desperate Democrats are using lies to attack their opponents yet again.

3. I hope someone intends to file a complaint with the PDC. If this was an independent expenditure and Loomis is on the board of the organization that produced it, she should be held accountable and fined heavily for collaboration.

4. Bizzare! Desprate. Disgusting.

I'd say it is worth investigating. She is on the Board and they paid for a campaign piece. Oh the screams of political witch hunt! Maybe Faith Ireland can sue on this one as well.

Jerry Cornfield/The Herald will they have a story on this? Wait they endoresed convict for a seat because Dems good R's bad. But the did endorse Mike Hope in the old diversity play.

Liz Loomis..did she also vote to give Dunshee a piece of a City park like 4 feet wide so he could build on an unbuildable lot?

5. I heard that when Liz was a babysitter she used to hit the little kids and actually had a lawsuit filed against her. It would be interesting for her to answer on this, when she is attacking Mike for being mean to kids too.

6. Have we not learned? With the Slavery Party, it's not the accuracy of the facts, it's the seriousness of the charge. I mean, since the charge was raised - right or not - that means that obviously Mike Hope is not only unsuitable as a Representative, but as a human being in general...
