Your "great candidate" rehashed all the failed policies of his predessors. Including escalating in the Middle East which you're against. Just like the President before him he was a faliure amd a liar. Your fealty is to your skin color.
Because truth is treason to you.
Yep. My fealty is definitely to my people. Damn right.
“All these things are important to Iowans and Iowans need him because his first concern is representing Iowans,” Grassley says in the video.
Grassley’s continued support is emblematic of a growing comfort among with xenophobic and anti-Semitic rhetoric among Republicans that, even if it was always there, has become more obvious under Trump.
Time to purge old white men who have racist views from our tax funded payroll.
Yep. My fealty is definitely to my people. Damn right.
The ones you care about are suffering. Single parenthood is crushing them. It's time to change how you go about it. Endorsing the nanny state doesn't work.
btw you most certainly have the right to be bigoted towards anyone or any group in your private life. That is part of freedom.

Yet another Iowa newspaper calls for Steve king to resign:
This time the Fort Dodge Messenger, which endorsed his re-election in 2018.
Quote:
Last fall, this newspaper urged voters to return U.S. Rep. Steve King to Congress for a ninth term. We made the decision to make that endorsement with some misgivings. We wanted our region to be represented in Washington by someone who would support a conservative agenda.
We also wanted a congressman who had the interests of farm country at heart. We thought King’s membership on the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Agriculture made him well-placed to safeguard rural America.
Unfortunately, King was far from an ideal choice. It is now clear that the endorsement we made was a mistake. We should have pondered more carefully King’s pattern of making outrageous statements.
Quote:
Perhaps most importantly, however, the racially charged comments that have become King’s hallmark are incompatible with representing the good people of Iowa. Racism and/or insensitivity to racism are unacceptable to virtually all Iowans or all political persuasions.
Therefore, King should resign from Congress with no delay. That will allow a special election to be held so someone who will not be an embarrassment to our state can be elected. Northwest Iowa needs a new representative in the House as soon as possible.
King hasn't helped his constituents with his radical views on new legal immigrants and white identity politics. Iowa needs people to fill jobs and they sure aren't coming from the current population with the decreased birth rate.
There is no double standard when it comes to King and using the tired old "what about Senator Byrd" from decades ago doesn't make you case. There were actually over 100 members of the Klan in both houses long ago, this is 2019 so make your case.
Each statement of racism should be addressed on its own merits but people have been deflecting for pages now in an attempt to dismiss this as acceptable behavior.
Au contraire-
King has helped Iowa and served his constituents well. Iowa has a very low unemployment rate (who cares about a few unfilled jobs when essentially every Iowan who wants a job is working).
He has also been an ardent supporter of the Iowa ag industry. King speaks his mind and the people of Iowa appreciate it. I have met him several times and to label him a "racist" (among other things) is a poor characterization. He is actually (along with Grassley) one of the few politicians who is honest and seeks to serve the people, rather than get rich from his office.
The people of Iowa will decide whether to keep King in congress, not the members of this forum. I would imagine he will remain a congressman for quite some time and I will continue to contribute to his campaigns. The dems hate him and have tried to poor in out of state money many times to unseat him (5X the amount of money last election) but his constituents know he is doing a better job than a liberal carpet bagger.
That's a newspaper (full of liberals), not the voters.
The people of Iowa will most likely elect him again, as he represents Iowa well.
I find it interesting that Hillary Clinton has always been given a "pass" for all the racist, anti-semetic statements she has made. However, this is the liberal double standard.
