I’m pretty sure I introduced you to him, my FRiend.

Steve is my congressman, representing the 4th District of Iowa. He’s an old friend - from the same home town, where we both launched into our political lives at the same time - albeit what I would call an estranged friend since we promoted him from the state senate to the U.S. House. The reasons for that estrangement aren’t worth going into here.

I often said that I had never met anyone with more native gifts as a legislator. He has a capacity for politics and strategy and policy that is practically unequaled.

Fact is, I don’t know of anyone else currently serving on the Hill who would make a better Speaker.

“Steve King for Speaker!”

I could go for that.

That is because Paul Ryan’s signature policy goal—allowing for the free movement of people and goods across America’s borders—is rejected by massive majorities of GOP voters.

Such a benign way to put it. Could this writer have an agenda?

Yes, Steve King would make an excellent Speaker.

Is Steve King 100% pro-life with NO EXCEPTIONS? The life issue is my Number 1 issue, but other issues such as firing the IRS are important as well.

btw, I just read a tweet from Mark Levin saying that Paul Ryan is open to running for Speaker. Too bad.

Why did he make such a crazy about-face when he and Romney weren’t elected?

When you’re 1st NY (east end of Long Island) your almost happy with a RINO. Sadly we were saddled with Dhimmicrat Bishop for 4or 5 terms before we go GOP Lee Zeldin. Time will tell if he is a RINO or not.

Glad you were able to shuck your RINO.

I honestly cannot answer your question.

I believe he is, but his web site is not definitive on the issue.

Contact his office and ask the question.

Thanks for getting back to me.

I did a search, and I was happy to read Steve King has a 100% pro-life rating from National Right-to-Life.

If anyone is interested, pro-life facts are here:

You are most welcome, and thanks for the link to Congressman King’s pro-life site!

He is one of us — sure wish he’d jump into the Speaker race!
