I have a sense of humor but found Mr. Federal Way’s attempt at being funny by calling Democrats bong-using Netflix-bingers missed the mark. As a lifelong Democrat, I do neither, and if other Democrats do it it’s none of your business – those activities are legal and unimportant compared to the serious issues facing the Washington State Legislature.

Next time you decide to make snide comments, please choose another target. Come to a 30th District Democratic meeting and you’ll see that we look like America: We are young, old, male and female, gay and straight, and different ethnicities and races.

In conclusion, your Republican bias and mean spirit in asking for dirt on candidates is totally out of bounds.

The periodic sniping of Mr. Federal Way about the Performing Arts and Events Center is uninformed and unnecessary. We are building an asset for the community and it’s about time the Mirror became supportive of this project.

Mr. Federal Way’s caustic comment about not being invited to the Aug. 4 beam-signing is typical of his negativity about virtually everything. The only people who were invited were those who participated in making the project happen.

I can’t see any benefit to his curmudgeonly negativity and his frequent incorrect or unfounded statements.
