Republican Congressman from Iowa: Let's hope we don't have to start our own country!

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

The crowd cheered as Hoekstra — who is leaving Congress to run for governor of Michigan — walked out and Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) walked in.

"I just came down here,” said King, “so I could say to you, God bless you.”

"God bless you!” shouted one activist.

"We’re here whenever you need us!” said another activist, patting King on the back.

"You are the awesome American people,” said King. "If I could start a country with a bunch of people, they’d be the folks who were standing with us the last few days. Let’s hope we don’t have to do that! Let’s beat that other side to a pulp! Let’s chase them down. There’s going to be a reckoning!" One by one, the people gathered outside the Capitol, who’d spent the day cheering and singing whenever Republicans appeared and egged them on, came to the realization that they’d been beaten in this round. They’d have to redouble their efforts.

As King spoke, FreedomWorks campaign director Brendan Steinhauser looked on, pondering over the last year of Tea Party activism — especially the last two months. On January 19, the Tea Parties helped elect Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) to the seat of the late Ted Kennedy and — so they thought — put the stake in health care reform. "ObamaCare,” wrote The Weekly Standard’s Fred Barnes after the Brown victory, “is dead with not the slightest prospect of resurrection.” A popular sign at the evening’s rally, spotted again at the Saturday rally that Steinhauser helped organize, portrayed President Obama as a vampire climbing out of a coffin marked "health care." Opponents of health care reform, pondered Steinhauser, did not quite see the health care bill recovering and passing as it did.

Obama cares. He's going there soon to try to convince people smarter than he is that they should embrace Obamacare and not throw their Obama worshipping pols out of office so they can collude with him again and again.

Obama to sign health bill, take it on the road

McCain says "we're going to repeal this" as GOP plans next steps

WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama is preparing to sign a transformative health care bill ushering in near-universal medical coverage for the first time in the nation's history — and then hit the road to sell it to a reluctant public.

Obama will travel to Iowa City, Iowa on Thursday, the White House said, as he now turns to seeing a companion bill through the Senate and selling the health care overhaul's benefits on behalf of House members who cast risky votes.

Iowa is almost as irrelevant as Colorado. Iowa is the parking lot or Illinois, Obama is just going to get his car. Whether or not you believe Obama is an apostate or whether or not you think that he talks too much and does very little is not the point. Fear mongering is the issue.

If Iowa is irrelevant, you'd better tell Barry. He doesn't think so. He doesn't think Colorado is irrelevant either. He comes here a lot.
