Grassley: Christie would be 'welcome candidate in Iowa' in 2016 once state blunts Tea Party clout

I think the Repubs will be able to cobble together various groups in 2016 just because things will be so bad nobody will support a Dem (maybe that’s just wishful thinking, but the bad news keeps piling up). Social conservatives may support smaller government once they realize that big government simply puts a lot of supporters of liberal causes on the government payroll; “big government” simply transfers wealth from taxpayers to liberals (via both paychecks and entitlements).

"There is a tendency that if you are not a purist on everything then you are a moderate," Grassley said.

Funny that, I wonder what Joe Lieberman would say about being a purist on every issue.

Fatso is not a Tea Party darling. Nice try.

In the original sense of the term (Taxed Enough Already), he was at the forefront. Beyond that, I have no interest in what anyone who hasn’t lived in NJ for the past 20 years thinks of Christie. Our property taxes no longer rise 5 - 10% every year (in a state that was already among the highest taxed), government is shrinking due to layoffs, and people are able to stay in their homes as a result.

Proof that Grassley is not in touch with reality.

The truth is that the GOPe, led by Romney, simply didn’t do serious on-the-ground party organizing. Other GOP leaders in Iowa didn’t organize either.

The surprise challenge to the GOPe came not from the Tea Party, but from libertarians. Iowa GOP Chairman AJ Spiker is a disaster who actually seems to have joined with the GOPe to give every advantage possible to Democrats.

The Grassley/Branstad era is nearing its end, one way or another.

What will follow them unless we act?

Well, we know what followed Branstad the last time he stepped aside: two liberal Democrat governors.

Or, will it be another mushy moderate Republican, like the one Branstad is now grooming?

I hereby commit myself to doing whatever I can to make sure it is neither.

Degenerates like Grassley had better get on the anticommunist bandwagon or be tossed to the side of the road

We are coming for the reds and anybody who gets in our way

COMMUNISM

IN THE U. S. A.

The first of a series on the Communist conspiracy and its

influence in this country as a whole, on religion, on

education, on labor and on our government

^^No Communist, no matter how many votes he should secure in a national election, could, even if he would, become President of the present government. When a Communist heads the govern-ment of the United States —and that day will come just as surely as the sun rises—the government will not he a capitalist government hut a Soviet government, and hehind this government will stand the Red army to enforce the dictatorship of the proletariat, ‘’

Sworn statement of WILLIAM Z. FOSTER

Head of the Communist Party in the United States

100 Things You Should Know About Communism in the U. S. A.

Forty years ago, Communism was just a plot in the minds of a very few peculiar people.

Today, Communism is a world force governing millions of the human race and threatening to govern all of it.

Who are the Communists? Hoiv do they work? What do they want? What would they do to you?

For the past lo years your committee has studied these and other questions and now some positive answers can be made.

Some answers will shock the citizen who has not examined Com-munism closely. Most answers will infuriate the Communists.

These answers are given in five booklets, as follows:

1. One Hundred Things You Should Know About Commu-nism in the U. S. A.

2. One Hundred Things You Should Know About Commu-nism and Religion.

3. One Hundred Things You Should Know About Commu-nism and Education.

4. One Hundred Things You Should Know About Commu-nism and Labor.

5. One Hundred Things You Should Know About Commu-nism and Government. Post Reply | Private Reply | To 1 | View Replies

While Obama is a closet communist, the mayor-elect of NYC was pretty open about it in his positions (though he claimed he wasn’t). The Reds don’t seem to be worried about anyone coming for them; they are still winning elections.

Sen. Grassley agrees with the Democrats. How about that?

Lhota was only slightly less liberal than DeBlasio; the city was going to have a pro-abortion, pro-gay mayor regardless of which won.

NYC is not salvageable, has been a socialist hellhole since the 60's

Im talking about fighting the communists in the real USA

This primary season has to be about drawing lines and targeting GOP-E that is willing to work with the communists and turning the primary into a referendum on communists and their fellow travelers in the GOP.

Naming names.

Grassley will work with communists and needs to go.

Playing nice with the reds is no longer to be tolerated.

The whole RNC/GOP Washingtonian political class in DC needs to be decimated, this is revolution.

I think we should switch the red/blue designations back to what they had been; if it helps identifying we’ll just capitalize “Red”.

Commies in the media deliberately switched the Republicans to red in 2000 as a propaganda device and the degenerate moron country clubbers at the RNC just went along with it.

They actually allowed the press to call them red, in fact, they embraced it and used it as background wallpaper at GOP.com.

We’ll know we have serious street fighters back in charge of the right when they tell the press to take the color red and shove it up their communist asses.

Grassley is okay for Iowa. In a state Obama, Clinton, Gore and Dukakis won.

Steve King was even promoting Christie. Doesn’t mean he wants him to win. He just wants to pal aroudn with R’s and get them to out themselves as RINOs when they attack King.

Id like to see Grassley as Senate Majority Leader and Steve King for Speaker.

He didn’t attack King when he called out the Calves with Cantaloupes.

I can never forgive Grassley for screwing around with my taxes. He cost me many thousands of dollars personally, and he cost thousands of American jobs. What a nitwit.

I called his dumb-assed bill the “Australian Full Employment Act of 2005.” After this misbegotten crap was enacted, the company I work for systematically replaced Americans with Australians all over the world. This guy can rot in hell forever as far as I am concerned.
