>> Do you support the dissing of the NYC mayor by the police, ie the union???? The insubordination? TO clarify, I think the union is probably in the right in this instance but it is impossible to support the union as an organization because it should not exist in the first place.

Commie Boston Globe FRANTIC about "Tea Party." ..................................................................................... A provocateur the GOP can’t afford to ignore (Steve King) bostonglobe.com ^ \| 1/11/15 \| Matt Viser Posted on 1/11/2015, 7:29:05 PM by cotton1706 Representative Steve King has compared illegal immigrants to livestock.

It puts him at the fulcrum of the continuing debate about the heart and soul of the Republican Party, as well as the potential perils of Iowa’s role in the presidential nominating contest. He also illustrates the irresistible tug of conservative activists in the GOP primary — because they have the most energy and can field ground troops and build excitement — as well as the worries that the party will go too far in catering to them. “He represents the conservative conscience in Iowa,” said Craig Robinson, a former political director of the Iowa Republican Party who now runs the influential website the Iowa Republican. “For what the conservative activist is thinking and feeling in Iowa, Steve King is a reflection of that.” In two weeks, King will host a forum in Des Moines that will feature some of the top presidential hopefuls in what is billed as a kickoff to the state’s yearlong evaluation of the presidential contenders.
