Immigration is not about drugs, it is about unionization. You give immigants
their rights and they will unionize, period.

American workers and immigrant laborers should be natural allies.

What the fuck happened to Iowa? Jesus, it used to be such a sensible state . . .

fucking nutcase. Western Iowa is decidedly rightwing, but eastern Iowa is much more blue. Trust me, there are plenty of good, sane, left-thinking folks here.

Every state has a few rightwing wackos floating around. I mean, Minnesota is a great state (and blue) but they've got fruitcake Bachman. Wisconsin has Walker. The blue East Coast states aren't immune from rightwing wackos either.

So just a friendly request to not judge the people of an entire state based on one nutcase.

Thank you!

hauling shit across the desert...in Iowa.

what a stupid dick

in selecting Presidential candidates.

Both Iowa and New Hampshire are mostly white and really do not represent the country as a whole.

Yes, I know that are Iowans who are aware of poverty and discrimination the minority issues. But too many, like that idiot up here, probably have never met a non-WASP person.

so maybe they're just a smidge more progressive than we give them credit for.

I live in Michigan, which despite being a "blue" state is hardly what I would call progressive. If anything we are sliding into the abyss. It is maddening.

I would also like to add that in Presidential elections since 1980, only in 1984 and 2004 did Iowa go to the Republican. In 2004, it was by only 10,000 votes.

And Iowa has an excellent history on civil rights. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iowa We were third in the nation to make gay marriage legal and have been ahead of the curve on many other issues.

this maryjane smuggling thing works. Also- I am pretty sure that they have automobiles in Mexico now.

--if the illegals are hauling anything across the border now, it's out-of-season fruit This idiot's been locked in a bomb shelter for the last fifty years with "Reefer Madness" as his only entertainment.

all excellent points!

This too shall pass.

votes among Latinos.

to say things like this where there aren't cameras. They've gotten more brazen lately.

What's the cause of someone doing such a dastardly deed, if it is happening as you contend? Is it the few bucks these mules are gonna get if they survive their trek? Is it because these desperate folks just wanna see if they can defeat our own Berlin Wall complex? No. It's because there's a DEMAND for this stuff on our side of the border. But beyond that, it's importation is seen as a threat to the BIG Pharma that's rushing to get over-priced "perscription" weed into the marketplace.
Take away this incentive ( Drop the stupid "Drug war&quot and Jose will cease to risk life and limb to haul this stuff to it's anxious customers.

I hafta wonder if King's demented notions aren't the result of him ingesting too much GM corn.

And you knew that because . . someone told you?
Someone you've met before, perhaps?
Was that someone a certain evil being named . . . SATAN?!?

I suppose that your tingly parts are now a'tingling and that you feel that you got all the attention you're going to get after saying this ludicrous, crass statement outloud, hmm?
Well, Mister Cantaloupes, we have a little surprise coming your way.
Yes, that's right, it's just for you.
You, and only you.
A little surprise we like to call 'comeuppance.'

It's a little something that goes like this . . we, the Democrats, especially those that are Latinos, are going to make your last year in Congress a living hell.
Now, don't you feel better?
Are you still tingling?
Don't you feel special, now?
Hmmm???

Awesome. SNL rules.

Yet he cracked me up with this one. I actually believe for a moment that he could became the first real conservative comedian! This is real big deal!

They can leave them or heave them at this douchebag for all I care, but I want to see his smug fucking face redden up when the cameras focus on the piles of fruit instead of his latest batshit crazy proclamations.

I just cannot see how people keep voting for these idiots....even IF I were remotely politically aligned with them, the sheer embarrassment factor alone of him, Gomhert, Bachmann, Broun and the rest should at least register somewhat with sane people....I guess it is true, to be "Republican" in this age you have to be insane.

GOP = party of stupid.

Love how Repugs keep shooting themselves in the foot, so stupid.

What a stupid moran, how do these people continue to find work!?

There are people even dumber than he is who vote for him. Mull that one over for a while. You will need a drink after contemplating that at length.

What a fucking loon.

that this racist, bigot gets away with this shit?

While Paula Deen is getting her ass kicked and has had her "financial empire" destroyed!

Why doesn't the same kind of result happen to these asshole, so-called "leaders" in Congress?

...what a fuck'n dick he is.

Will he be translating it into Spanish?

Los ninos de los immigrantes, son trafficantes de marijuana... Y tienen pies de melon.

--the same image.

I'd rather have cantaloupe calves than a cantaloupe brain.

Is he also orange? Or is that a trick of the light?

It's the mass quantities of Tequila... just like Boehner.

as in "a person or thing of no value or importance; a nonentity." Or in the vernacular, what a useless, stupid son of a bitch.

This ignorant and racist? This is what America wants as its leadership? They should be all kicked to the curb, and than tar, feathered and run out of Washington on a rail.

...lets START with bringing rotten eggs and tomatoes to a speech.

Where do you find the supplier of rotten eggs and bad tomatoes? Tar and most likely feathers would be easier to find.

oh yeah, repuklican

There is a female Florida representative who said that. These are the people who are "representing" us in Congress. Not just bigots, but must have flunked of US History and Government 101.

!!

he and his white rich friends f*** Americans out of their homes, jobs, retirement.....F*** YOU STEVE KING

. . .



"You get one valedictorian per class per year," he said on AC360. "Every night there are dozens and scores of people that are smuggling drugs across our border. I've been down there multiple times. I've sat along the border at night."

Noting the officers he's met while on the border, King claimed that his assertion is factual.

"This isn't something made up in thin air," he said. "I've seen it with my eyes and watched the data and video that support what I say, and the longer this dialogue goes, the more the American people will understand what I'm saying is factually correct."

Dear Honorable Representative,Greetings.
Your disrespect of hardworking who come to make you rich for pennies on the dollar is well beneath the position which has been granted you by the hardworking people of this nation.
Beware for this position is only temporary and based upon the expediency of which you do your job.
So,how many bills have you passed? How many presidential appointee's have you confirmed or even denied?
Have you done your job to the best of your abilities to uphold the laws and defend the constitution as you swore you would when you accepted the job?

The answer above to all the questions seems to be no.
Would you like to file a rebuttal,this is your right.
I would like to read what your reasoning is for standing in front of camera's and reading statements which you did not write instead of Working to progress and commit the business of the people of the united states of America and for which you willingly received benefits and monetary compensation.
Mostly a letter describing why you need this job is what i would like to see because i am pretty sure that i know the answer of why you refuse to do your job.
Yet you demean and humiliate those work hard just to survive and care for their loved ones while making your cronies filthy rich in the process.

These people that you apparently despise do not have the strength to carry 75 pound sacks of marijuana because they can barely carry enough water in the 110+ degree heat and survive yet many do manage while carrying their children as well.
Have you no shame?
The marijuana that comes into this country comes instead to tiny little airports which you voted in spite of budget sequestration to keep open at yet again the expense of hard working Americans.
You know the airport,the one you use to fly in your private jet at taxpayer expense so that you will not have to sully yourself by sharing the same oxygen with those working class people.
Guess what is in those crates coming out of the private jets?
Spoilers! It is not American jobs!

You too can have calves like a drug mule! Just follow Rep. King's program--strap a 75 pound weight to your back and haul it back and forth across the desert.

And I thought the Steven King from Maine was scary.

Louie Gomer (sic)? I've scraped smarter things off my shoes.

Trick question. It can't be answered. It's one of those questions like "How high is up?" and "Is Batman a transvestite?" Who knows?

Disgraceful

Clowns like this fool are a blessing. Seriously! Nearly everything that comes out of his mouth is an insult to humanity; and he represents a LOT of fool nim-wits that think exactly like he speaks. Go for it, you little piece of rotten shit. I LOVE it when you look like the bigotted, disgusting sleaze-bag you truly are; because it brings votes our way, and alienates you and your party from mainstream America.

Thank you...you little insignificant turd.

He's supposed to represent ALL of his constituents, and it's pretty obvious he isn't. When one wonders what's wrong with Congress--why they can't get anything done--they need look no further than this idiot. He's being paid with taxpayer money, including from those he's condemning, and he's not doing his job. He should be forced out of office and someone with a better outlook and values should be put in place.

Wadda Guy? He writes his opponents material for them...why, well I'd rather not speculate in public.
