Chuck Grassley (R-Coward) Is Keeping Iowa Event Details Secret

[47of74]

Yeah, Chuckles only wants to hear from people who kiss his hinder and call it ice cream;

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) says he will be going around speaking with constituents at more than a dozen events in his home state during the Senate’s two-week spring recess.

But most of the public will have no idea how to find him, because his office is keeping the details of those events secret to avoid protesters.

The chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee is in the hot seat these days because as he has refused to hold hearings for Merrick Garland, President Barack Obama’s Supreme Court nominee. Grassley and the GOP leadership in the Senate have pledged to block Garland, arguing that the next president should get to pick the replacement for the late Justice Antonin Scalia. Their hope, of course, is that a Republican wins in November and then chooses a conservative justice.

The senator will hold 16 private question-and-answer sessions at schools, service organizations and businesses while he’s in Iowa. Grassley spokeswoman Beth Levine told the Omaha World-Herald that the senator’s staff would not be releasing the logistics for those events because they wanted to make sure the attendees’ concerns would be heard.

1. Constituents with big bankrolls...

because those are "the American people."

The rest of us are insignificant.

2. He is 82 and has been sucking off the gov. teat for THIRTY FIVE YEARS.

C'mon, Iowa. Put Grassley out to pasture.

3. We've tried

But this fucker is arguably the most popular politician in the history of this state. Don't ask me why, I don't know why. But perhaps this year, we could have a strong Dem, albeit a conservadem, to run against him. I'm quite sure he will get around zero votes from Dems this year where in the past some have voted for him.

4. Actuall he's been on the public tit for about 60 years

Think he entered the Iowa legislature at the tender age of @ 22.
He's more zombie than human but Iowans vote for him over and over.
Once a republican gets in office in this state they never leave.

5. Just got a 'thank you' from his event in Muscatine 6 weeks ago

which read more like a scold for unruly school behavior.

Video clips of people correcting him and trying to have dialog with him make him look old, weak and stupid. He has been really protected by his staff his past 2 terms

6. The other day Chuckles was on the radio spewing his bullshit.

And it sounded like he was reading a statement that someone gave him to read that was pretty much written by someone else. Maybe McConnell's office.

7. Off topic but today I saw a t-shirt that read:

Iowa: You call it the bread aisle, but we call it the shoe store. It took me a few minutes to figure it out.

8. Ha!
