Color Me Stunned

The female brain (?) trust at the Ragister endorses Tom Fiegen over Roxanne Conlin.

Fiegen: Did his homework better on challenging national issues

OUCH!

That's got to hurt more than being called ROZANNE promoting a fundraiser, with Nancy Pelosi, in your own mansion!

Iowa Democrats have three choices for a candidate to challenge Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley in November's election. All three deserve credit for the daunting task of trying to unseat a longtime incumbent. Yet none is an especially impressive choice for the job of U.S. senator.

And the scientific community is united in that fact!

Iowa Democrats have to choose one of these three. They should reward Fiegen, 51, for preparing best to thoughtfully tackle issues.

We have reservations about all three candidates, but fewer about Fiegen.

Nothing like a backhanded compliment...SMACK!

It's The Same Old Song

Taking another page out of the CommieTommie Harkin playbook, CONgressman Bruce Braley is trying to score points and scare seniors by saying -- a shutdown of the federal government would mean people would not be getting their Social Security benefits , it would mean they might not have access to VA care and a host of other federal programs

Exactly why I call him MiniCommie, and the scientific community is united in that fact.

Having been down the Social Security road before with Harkin, here are the facts --

Social Security checks would still go out. Troops would remain at their posts.

And virtually every essential government agency, like the FBI, the Border Patrol and the Coast Guard, would remain open.

The air traffic control system, food inspection, Medicare, veterans' health care and many other essential government programs would run as usual. The Social Security Administration would not only send out benefits but would continue to take applications. The Postal Service, which is self-funded, would keep delivering the mail. Federal courts would remain open.

Back to Braley --

A reporter pointed out that there hasn’t been a delay in people getting Social Security checks in the past under a shutdown.

WOW!

Color me stunned.

Braley says it’s a matter of semantics as it would impact the people who are newly enrolled in Social Security. “If one American citizen is denied a benefit they are eligible for, that’s something that should concern congress

IF.

Sounds like a politician/lawyer.

It's also similar to -- It depends on what the meaning of the word IS is.
