The only Democrat running in the primary for the open Senate seat in Iowa made a spectacular gaffe before a roomfull of trial lawyers in Texas.
Standing next to a table full of booze, Rep. Bruce Braley insulted farmers, praised lawyers, and belittled the second most popular political figure in Iowa.
Iowa Rep. Bruce Braley, a Democrat running for Senate, was caught on videotape disparaging fellow Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley as “a farmer from Iowa who never went to law school” — comments that later drew an apology from the candidate.
The video, posted online Tuesday afternoon by GOP opposition research firm America Rising, shows Braley speaking to what the group described as a group of lawyers at a fundraiser in Texas.
“If you help me win this race, you may have someone with your background, your experience, your voice — someone who’s been literally fighting tort reform for 30 years in a visible and public way on the Senate Judiciary” Committee, said Braley, a trial lawyer by training who is running to replace Iowa Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin. “Or you might have a farmer from Iowa who never went to law school, never practiced law, serving as the next chair of the Senate Judiciary. Because if Democrats lose the majority, Chuck Grassley will be the next chair of the Senate Judiciary.”
Braley is the sole Democratic candidate in a race that could, as he alludes to in the video, help determine which party controls the Senate after November. He faces whoever emerges from a crowded Republican primary field that includes state Sen. Joni Ernst, businessman Mark Jacobs and former U.S. Attorney Matt Whitaker.

Both of those are funny!
Q: What do you call the guy who graduates at the bottom of his medical school class? (True real world counseling to depressed med students)
A: “Doctor!”
Q: What do you call the guy who graduates at the bottom of his Law school class?
A: “Your Honor!” (or: “Senator!”)
Is it too early for me to add Iowa to my list of “The GOP’s Pick Six”? (Please; no one reply with that tired, old line about pulling “defeat from the jaws of victory”.)
The Merchant of Venice had a rant about lawyers. The mistrust of lawyers goes WAY back in history. :o)
FARMING was one of THE first "professions" in this world. We always love those who "make" food.
Sad that this, the GREATEST country in the world, has come to this: a stupid electorate.
VERY sad.
Luke 11:46
And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.
WONDERFUL!
Thanks so much.
Why?
Because I lived there well over half of my life. And this is big.
I find it especially amusing that this fool got caught on tape saying this at a fundraiser in Texas....with a bunch of trial lawyers.
Normalcy is too much for some people.
True. The Left, the fanatic 40-something, wild-eyed women who WILL do EXACTLY what they want, DETERMINED to change us conservative thinking "fools" are always on the watch. That is what they do.
Essentially they hate themselves and blame men...of course. Their own lives were BEREFT of men who were intelligent, strong, good and nice. Bet you their mothers were educated, divorced (naturally from an ahole) and very, very bitter.
Remember this TRUTH: hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
Men SCORNED these angry, angry, bitter women...duh...and they don't understand the how and the why when THEY believe that they were so WELL brought up by their educated, smart, modern, savvy, liberal mothers.
They DON'T get it and they never will.
They spread their venom wherever and whenever they can, irregardless of whom may be in their line of fire.
BITTER
ANGRY
Any questions?
No, but thanks for describing my first wife.
I SURE hope number two is the EXACT opposite! You deserve better.
