Just a day after Republicans attacked CNN contributor Hilary Rosen for her comments about Ann Romney, an Iowa Republican proposed an amendment to a bill that would allow those who pay child support to force the recipients of that support to take a drug test as frequently as every six months.
An unlikely foe in the religious right’s perverse war on women this past week was an elderly woman from central Iowa, who exchanged heated but respectful words with Rep. Steve King (R-IA).
Now, King thinks that if only those damn gays would remain uncomfortable in the closet, they wouldn’t have to worry about being discriminated in the workplace.
When Dunkerton High School in Iowa invited a Christian rock band called Junkyard Prophet to perform during a school assembly this past Thursday, they never expected to get a hate filled sermon as part of the deal. But that’s exactly what happened.
Iowa is practically banning people from knowing where their food comes from and what is in it.
Introduced by Republican State Rep. Kim Pearson, House File 2298 outlaws abortion entirely, even in cases of rape and when the life of the mother is in jeopardy.
We all know that the religious right is sexist and that the Republican Party is a ‘white men only’ club. But to say that women aren’t fit to lead because of some kind of sick twisted Christian interpretation of the Bible is just more proof that conservative men think of women as weak minded child carriers who belong in a kitchen somewhere. But that’s what a Rick Santorum staffer thinks.
Well, gay marriage has been legal here in Iowa for going on three years now, and just as FOX News predicted, traditional marriage has all but ceased to exist in the Hawkeye state.
Santorum and Romney effectively finished in a dead tie in the meaningless Iowa caucuses this week, which means that People are taking Santorum Seriously.This isn’t entirely a surprise. Every other candidate for the GOP except Huntsman and Johnson enjoyed similar surges at one point or another.
One down, two to go. So now that Iowa has spoken – or at least the 122,255 who bothered to give a damn and cast their votes (that’s about 5.4% of the state’s population) – the man the Tea Party can’t stand has eked out the smallest margin of victory in its ‘illustrious’ history.
Without a crushing defeat in Iowa, Romney’s path to the nomination is clear. No amount of evangelical enthusiasm for Santorum, or youth and independent excitement for Ron Paul, will make a difference. Unless hit by a huge scandal, Wall Street’s man won’t lose now.
Without a doubt, Rick Santorum is the most dangerous threat to women in the Republican Presidential race. He believes premarital sex should be outlawed, believes women have no right to accessible medical care, and that contraceptives should be illegal.
This year the people of Iowa have had almost exclusive access to the Republican presidential candidates for over six months and just about the only thing we can all agree on is that we don’t like any of them.
In what has to be the most hilarious and the grossest story of 2012 thus far, the Pizza Ranch restaurant is preparing to name a salad after GOP Presidential candidate and serial homophobe Rick Santorum.
Ron Paul prides himself on being a staunch Constitutionalist and has a school girl like crush on the Founding Fathers, but does he really understand the constitution and truly love the Founders?
In what looks like a desperate bid to win over the mostly white population of voters in Iowa, Rick Santorum revived the old Republican tactic of attacking the African-American community.
Just a few hours after attending an event in support of Michele Bachmann, State Senator and Iowa Chairman of the Bachmann campaign, Kent Sorenson, threw his support to Ron Paul.
During a campaign stop at a grocery store in Iowa, a man dressed in camouflage took Gingrich by the hand and called him a ‘fucking asshole’ to his face. Newt Gingrich certainly wasn’t expecting that.
