The difference between Idaho Democrats and Washington Republicans

Section: Pacific Northwest Topic: Legislative performance

One party has their feelings hurt because they lost an election or two. Another, despite having road projects pulled out of their districts because of politics, still doesn't pull cheap political tricks. Ridenbaugh, in the wake of Dan Roach's meltdown, points to a list of quotes from Washington Republicans about how bad it is to be in the minority:

"Things for us have gotten a little tense over there because of the lack of our ability to have our voice and put our fingerprints on it (the budget)...It's like the guards and the prisoners...The guards make the rules and sometimes the prisoners get frustrated. But it's still the guards are in charge."

In Idaho, Republicans play politics with roads:

Senate Finance Chairman Dean Cameron, R-Rupert, said at one point, House GOP leaders removed a Treasure Valley road project because it was in a district whose senator and representatives are Democrats.

Yet, no Idaho Democrat went to the floor of the legislature to blame anyone's spouse. Weird.
