Murray and Smiley spar over abortion, crime in Senate debate
By Nicholas K. Geranios / Associated Press
SEATTLE — U.S. Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., and Republican challenger Tiffany Smiley argued over abortion, crime and inflation on Sunday in their only scheduled debate before the Nov. 8 election.
Smiley made numerous references to Murray’s 30 years in the Senate during the hour-long debate televised from Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington, saying it was time for a change.
“She is the image of big government,” Smiley, who is making her first run for public office, said. “You are not the mom in tennis shoes anymore.”
Murray, who is seeking a sixth term, said in this election: “Women’s rights are on the ballot. Our democracy is on the ballot and our economy is on the ballot.”

Oh give me a fucking break. Republicans are fine and dandy with big government so long as it is doing what they want. You can't get any more big government than trying to regulate a private health decision between a woman and her doctor.
