Sen Grassley is SO WORRIED ABOUT SOCIALISM..... unless it's in his pocket. WTF?

1. And this surprises you why, exactly?

If he wasn't pulling in the bucks, he wouldn't get elected. It's all self-interest, and that trumps ideology for all GOOPers.

OTOH, I'm a big IOWA fan, since they're one of the few states to offer same-sex marriage rights. Go Iowa! Any time now, I expect that my wife and I will be heading down there to see her cousin and his partner get married. WooHoo!

4. Nah.. doesn't surprise me.. just the sheer hypocrisy and stupidity..

.. and Wolf Blitzer will be on CNN praising Sen Grassley... just when you think people couldn't bury their head in the sand any deeper.. they bring in a well drilling machine for the Republicans...

5. Well, it's not soshulizm when a GOOPer benefits. It's...uh...

2. Here in Mississippi

a classic Red State, we get a helluva lot more federal bucks then we send to Washington, and yet the fake patriots rant and rave and foam at the mouth about "socialism." I also love the "keep your government out of my medicare."

All the conservative values have made Mississippi number one in teen pregnancy, teen dropout rate,obesity, and diabetes. You go conservatives!

3. Yup. MS is sucking off the liberal states big-time.

And yet the state whines...

6. I'll bet that doesn't hold a candle to Iowa's take of corn, beef, etc subsidies

Iowa is a big winner when it comes to agriculture subsidies.
