"I can't see Russia from here like Gov. Palin, but I can see South Dakota and South Dakota has figured it out - zero percent sells."
Those words came from Iowa GOP Gubernatorial candidate Bob Vander Plaats during a forum sponsored by the Clay County Tea Party Patriots.
Vander Plaats is making his third attempt at becoming Iowa's Governor. He is a very close ally of Mike Huckabee, and served as Huckabee's 2008 Iowa co-chair.
empt at the Iowa Governor's office, the Sioux City businessman's appearance highlighted the first of three scheduled gubernatorial Informed Voter Forums sponsored by the Clay County Tea Party Patriots.

He has got to be one of those idiots with a gun barrel attached to his shoe, so every day - without fail - he can shoot himself in the foot.
I don't know what "mileage" he thought that remark would get him, but he has pooped in his mess kit now. He's Captain RINO and his secret identity slipped out when he attributed a SNL comedian's satire line to Governor Palin.
Of course, he wouldn't have done it, had he not wanted to do it.
No money from me for this guy.

The Huckster is an idiot who thinks he poops gold.
If his attitude can help take down his supporters, I’m happy. In the case of this idiot running for office, The Huckster’s attitude shines through.
I take it you support The Huckster?

No, I don't support him. On the other hand I've been running a cottage industry defending him from village idiots.
Now that he's not running for President I'd feared my business would dry up but it looks like I'm going to have to expand and take over the East End of Fairfax County VA.

I can't see Russia from here like Gov. Palin, but I can see South Dakota Big Deal. I can spot an Iowa idiot clear from Michigan.

Mr. Vander Plaats, that joke was worn out by January last year. I think I’m getting a feel for why you’ve run twice and lost.

This was not a attack on Palin...She said what she said, and he was name dropping for the tea party folks.
How you and others on this thread can morph this into a personal attack and demand apologies shows just how far gone this forum has become.
