Great googly moogly.

I just wasted some time looking at Steve King's Facebook page. What a cesspool. Most candidates run photos of meet and greets. Or have posts celebrating positive events with constituents. Not his. It's just full of right wing memes of conspiracy and hatred.

Do. Not. Go. There.

The DMR ran a story about his campaign paying his son and daughter-in-law for their "services". Rumor has it that the facebook thing is run by someone in his family too.

It was always right wing. But it was never this awful.

Of course, one could say that of the whole country today.

I was at the Ia State Fair today. Met some really motivated JD Scholten supporters. I liked what I saw.

They are fired up and think Scholten could win.
