Iowa Dem’s Elitist-Sounding Insult Aimed at GOP Senator Is Not Going to Sit Well With State’s Farmers… or Most Americans
Finally. The GOP dopes have finally decided to tape these stupid bastards for a change...
ZitatIowa Democrat Bruce Braley, who is running to replace Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa), apologized on Tuesday for attempting to insult Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) by pointing out that he is just a “farmer from Iowa who never went to law school.”
The elitist-sounding jab came as Braley told supporters at a fundraiser that if Republicans regain control of the Senate in November, Grassley would likely serve as the next chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
To put this in stark contrast, if you help me win this race, you may have someone with your background, your experience, your voice, someone’s who’s been literally fighting tort reform for 30 years in a visible and public way on the Senate Judiciary Committee or you might have a farmer from Iowa who never went to law school, never practiced law, serving as the next chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Because if Democrats lose the majority, Chuck Grassley will be the next chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
To make matters worse for Braley, the comments were caught on video:

Yep, this is gonna out him over the top.
Yeah education really counts on these matters.
Like how we have this all-in-one,
Lawyer and a Consitutional law professor in the Oval Office right now.
That's really working for us isn't it?

Quote: algernonpj wrote in post #4 The question now is what are the odds the GOP will actually use this tape ?? Or would that be too unseemly for them ??
They don't want to alienate the shifty trial lawyer vote. It is the future of the GOP along with illegal Mexicans and Child Molesters.

Zitat...you might have a farmer from Iowa who never went to law school, never practiced law, serving as the next chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
If I were Harkin, I'd save my finances and let Braley do all my campaigning for me. He's doing a good job so far.
