You got the Rep from CO telling the nation that gay marriage is the most important issue this nation faces and now this guy. Ok, I'm going to answer my own question. The Republican party put all their money behind these doorknobs...I mean candidates and people who were told to believe that liberals are scary had no choice but to elect unqualified, incompetent, narrow minded, lap dogs.

When Harkin represented the district Ames was included but Sioux City has now replaced Ames, making it more conservative. King should be considered an embarrassment by Iowans but because he affixes an "R" to his name it doen't seem to matter. Make not mistake though, King is an outright nut job of the first order. He and Tom Tancredo, from Colorado, are cut from the same cloth. And to think, King represents a district once represented by Tom Harkin, now US Senator from Iowa.

Last night (Tuesday) on one of either MSNBC or CNN an interviewed former interrogator stated that one rule he gave to new recruits was that if the treatment they were giving seemed like hazing then it was over the line. He explained this by saying that hazing is meant to make someone quit, and torture has a similar purpose, to make someone give up. Sorry that I can't recall which show or network it was. I tend to bounce around between the two from about 6pm-8p, at which point I watch Countdown. Interesting.
