As a daughter of the heartland, a pioneer homesteaders’ grandchild of Dakota Territory, I’m hereby issuing a call to my fellow midwesterners down there Io-way.
Time has come to send the double-talking Senator back to his farm. His knuckling under to the extremist fear-mongers in his party, his spreading the lie about end-of-life care like so much manure in the barnyard tells me it’s long past time to send Farmer Grassley back to the farm.
Democrats in Iowa, please run a strong candidate and campaign against Farmer Grassley. Republicans, if you have any sense of decency, tell Farmer Grassley he’s become rootbound in the mire of sleazy partisan politics.
Heck, right now, even this guy…ooops, make that This Guy is looking better than the overripe senior Grassley.

The sad fact is that Chuck is the right candidate for at least half of Iowa, and it’s a half I’m well acquainted with from living and working in a small town in Iowa. You really have no grasp of how much damage christianity and an educational system that caters to the lowest common denominator have done until you spend a few years in a small town, and that doesn’t even address the social disaster that television has been. It’s grim here.
I am with you, Prairie Sunshine. Every time I see his smug little smile as he lies through his teeth yet again, I have to breathe deeply several times to keep my anger in check.
gregory, it sounds like Iowa is like Michele Bachmann’s district in which half (or more) of the constituents are hopeless. I am sorry, neighbor. At least Bachmann is not my personal rep. Thank god for small favors.
Can we put Rahm Emmanuel in the same pasture?
I think we have a real chance to oust that man. Sure, there are pockets of very conservative people in Iowa, but there are also a lot of liberals and many, many Democrats, and I think they’re fed up with that goof.
I understand there could actually be two Democrats running to replace Grassley, so there might be a Democratic primary, which will garner a lot of attention. I think he actually might be defeated in 2010, and I’ll do what I can to make that happen.
Yes, Grassley is a semi-senile hack, but there is absolutely no chance that he will be beaten. He will be a Senator as long as he wants to be. Sorry, but that is a sad fact. If anyone tells you differently, they don’t know a damn thing about Iowa politics.
We should put our resources and energy into other Senate battles.
We’ll see. Tom Fiegen has declared. He’s a bankruptcy lawyer and an economics professor. He sounds very Progressive. The other Democratic candidate, Bob Krause, is head of the Iowa Democratic Veterans caucus. They’re both good candidates, and I’m not giving up on defeating that insurance prostitute yet.
