Bread Bags On The Soles Of Her Shoes

[aeebee50]

I like the song. At least everyone on the bus had bread bags on the shoes.

At least she had shoes. Did she pick herself up by them shoestraps?

"her family benefited more than $460,000 in federal farm subsidies"

It's one thing to take advantage of a legal benefit and quite another to vote in favor of a benefit. Is this supposed to be an example of hypocrisy?

Actually it is an example of the left's insatiable hunger for quoting character assassins and using the msm poison-gas brigades. This kind of assault is used for any new GOP face, but is especially reserved for new female GOP politicians, anyone who threatens the "war on women" slogan.

I mean, we wouldn't want to talk about the national Democratic senators of stature, like Ms. Feinstein or Harry Reids and their route to actual and real wealth, would we?

Her Republican family could have used a little of that huge subsidy they got to get the girl a decent pair of rain shoes. I really cannot stand bullshit like this broad spieled out...and I am not an Obama supporter. This bitch pushes austerity for others and gets all Polly Annaish to cover her trail. She fools about nobody with a brain in their head.

As for Reid and Feinstein, they get their own warts regularly criticized by me an others on this board. Your complaint is actually seeking special exemption for airhead Republican women.

It is extremely hypocritical. Max loves to quote the highly paid character assassin of the right, Rush Limbaugh.

Heaven, Hell, and Limbaugh. I thought the church did away with Limbaugh.

Yes I do, especially Limbaugh's satirical and valid criticisms of Democratic leaders actual "soft" corruption and actions are the subject of humor. And not so much when anyone focuses dour and lame snarks at relative (and new) back-benchers...a habit most often practiced by the left.

A clue to these "underpaid" folk, when people don't buy it (in more than one meaning), they don't pay for it.

First time I have heard Limbaugh described as "the Left". Limbaugh goes after anyone with whom he disagrees. He called the woman Obama used in an example in the 2015 State of the Union as a fake and a political operative. The woman knocked on doors for a couple of months 10 years ago as an intern and hasnt been involved since then. She is clearly less notable than a new backbencher. Yet that fat douche went after her. But thanks for admitting your hypocrisy.

Yes. So apt when you are speaking about an empty room.

Yeah we always wore our bags inside the shoes to keep the socks dry because it would only take a step or two for bags on the outside to be completely fucking useless, and she should know that.
I just want to know if she cut the hogs in her good shoes with bags on.
'Cause she only had the one pair of shoes and they were too good for rainwater...

Galoshes are a good investment.

Gee, somebody might confuse that as being an attack on Obama's dubious representation and 'unmentioned' use of a former Democratic campaign operative in his SOTU showboat. Of course I now see that the real intent of Limbaugh was to pillory an obscure nobody's front staging, the President being an innocent victim of the 'she wrote me a letter - I didn't know' talking point

Delivering the official Republican response to President Obama’s State of the Union address Tuesday night, Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst related tales of a hardscrabble upbringing in which she “worked construction” with her father, took a job in the fast food industry, and placed plastic bread bags over her one pair of shoes so as to keep them dry when it rained. “Our parents may not have had much,” Ernst said of herself and her schoolmates’ families, “but they worked hard for what they did have.”

The takeaway, of course, was that we should all be so self-reliant, not depending on government handouts to get by. In her speech, Ernst denounced “wasteful spending” and vowed that Republicans would cut it. The new GOP Congress, Ernst said, would work toward an America in which “you don’t need to come from wealth or privilege to make a difference.”

“You just need the freedom to dream big, and a whole lot of hard work,” she continued.

Here’s what the GOP rising star omitted from her paean to gritty self-reliance: Hard as her family may have worked, and fierce as Ernst may be in her opposition to big government spending, her family benefited more than $460,000 in federal farm subsidies between 1995 and 2009, per the District Sentinel. Beneficiaries included Ernst’s father, Richard Culver, uncle Dallas Culver, and late grandfather Harold Culver. The Culvers’ subsidies hardly set them apart from their neighbors; as the District Sentinel notes, Iowa ranks second only to Texas in farm subsidies, with the largely rural and agricultural state receiving $24.9 billion in subsidies between 1995 and 2012.

What a load of horse manure. What the Salon mud gunner omitted from his smear by innuendo is that "her family" did not benefit from 460,000. Her relatives did, mostly her uncle and great-grandfather (or uncle's great grandfather, depending on which part read in the snopes story). Of that amount, her father got $39,000 spread out over 14 years BUT AFTER she was married, in the army, and living with her husband in another state.

Given that the source of the story was a blog post six months ago, and that the blog post provided almost all the details, the Salon author must have known he making sushi out of manure, all for the consumption of his partisan readers.

Thank you for reconfirming your blatant partisanship and utter hypocrisy.

I noted the cadence of Obama's speech picked up when he started admitting to his drone warfare and bombing policy...like he had to get it out yet wanted to not dwell on it too much. The one thing I can't be accused of here...being partisan. I watched a TV special tonite on Manifest Destiny and its place in American politics since the early 1800's till today. Unending use of military force to convert political systems all over the world is a failing policy. There were elements of MD thinking in Cuba, the Philippines, Vietnam, Iraq, etc. etc. etc. The president's party didn't seem to matter too much...and now we know his color doesn't either. As long as our political class clings to the notion of conquering evils overseas with military force, we will experience failure after failure in foreign policy. This particular foreign policy Manifest Destiny and the need to be the world's hegemon, will continue to unravel our social fabric and cohesiveness at home too.

Actually the fight over petroleum domination of our economy involves both military and civil at home sacrifices of human lives. Both parties seem not to care about this.

Is this bread-bag story supposed to be a good story? At the time, Reagan was president and Iowa had a Republican governor. Is this an example of great Republican economies?
