The R's here are of the Tea Party variety. Birthers.

I'm sorry to say that the craziest fruit loops are all here in Iowa.

It's a chess move.

Is Steve King that full of hate? Is his district that full of hate? Is America falling apart?

Hatred, fear, anger, narrow-mindedness, racism etc. He's a cornucopia of right wind values.

he won't get re-elected? I was born in Des Moines, dammit!

And I take pride when I tell people from other places that I'm an Iowan. But this clown makes it extremely difficult to keep the pride going, even though I live far from his district. It's a national perception and it ain't fair. So let's hope that Christie Vilsack beats him and beats him soundly. Then maybe he'll fade away and we'll never hear from him again.

I do not accept that he "represents" us. I choose to see him (and his followers) as an aberration.

to pick its immigrants like picking the best pups of a litter.
Seriously.

Iowa Republican Congressman Steve King caught flak last month after he was recorded comparing immigrants to dogs, in remarks first reported here at Salon, But now the Tea Party lawmaker is doubling down on the analogy, and saying that you probably don’t belong in this country if you are offended by his remarks.


At a town hall event in late May, King said the U.S. should pick only the best immigrants from around the world the same way one choses the best dogs from a litter of puppies. “You get the pick of the litter and you got yourself a pretty good bird dog. Well, we’ve got the pick of every donor civilization on the planet,” King told the crowd. The comments, recorded by the liberal group American Bridge, quickly attracted condemnation from Democrats, pro-immigrant groups and even the libertarian Competitive Enterprise Institute. The campaign of King’s Democratic challenger Christie Vilsack said, “If we’re going to have a real discussion on immigration, we should start by acknowledging that immigrants are human beings.”

This one is sort of personal since I am married to a LEGAL immigrant. Wonder if she's "good enough" for that rat bastard (apologies to any rat bastards who take offense to being compared with that)? Hell, even though we are not residents of the fourth district, I may drop him a scathing email anyway. Better calm down first though. Do not want to get thrown in jail because of that idiot.

able to cast my vote for Christie Vilsack. This hateful piece of garbage needs to go!

But I managed to scrape up a few bucks to help out.

I'm beginning to wonder how Boswell will do against Latham. Latham has the monetary and registered voter advantage. Sounds like it's going to be a tough run for Boswell.
