MASON CITY, Iowa — Hillary Rodham Clinton’s appearance here Monday at the home of Dean Genth and Gary Swenson — one of the first gay couples to marry in Iowa — spoke volumes about the political pitch and style of her nascent presidential campaign.

Now this is a highly political “family” deserving of our scrutiny! Clintons rule when it comes to sleaze!
Rush’s take on their foundation, “The Clinton Crime Family Foundation,” is so perfect.
well as long as she has the most important issues taken care of first...
State Department plans to release Hillary Clinton's emails in January 2016
..."The Iowa caucuses are due to be held Feb. 1, 2016 — just two weeks after the proposed release of Clinton’s emails."....
“Low Key”......Ha! It is more like Secret Cabal Meetings.
Instead of the Sign of the Fish carved above each meeting home, there is a 666.
At the home of a ‘gay married couple’? What has happened to the English language? She was at the home of two abnormal males. But as long as they have money to give the old slob, that’s all that counts.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN TILT LEFT ..... SHE’S A COMMUNIST
Now for a picture of her face photoshopped onto a chicken suit.
Only question is, what else do the Iowa rats have to vote for?
