UofI Republicans reaction is puzzling

The reaction of Natalie Ginty, the leader of the University of Iowa College Republicans group, is puzzling at best. Was it not the Republican candidate in the 2000 presidential election who referred to a news reporter as an anatomical vulgarity? To be seconded by his running mate, five-deferment deadeye Dick, who would later tell a senator to perform a physically impossible act using the same word that has so upset the UI Republicans.

These two potty mouths assumed they were royalty and led us into the most horrific foreign policy fiasco in our nation's history. This ungodly misadventure was funded off budget with borrowed money and tax cuts for the wealthiest among us. Placing the burden of paying for this horrific fiasco on our children and grandchildren. How did this war economy work out for you, Ms. Ginty?

As we approach the eighth anniversary of “mission accomplished” we find that a true believer of this economic chicanery now thinks that he is the savior for our economic collapse, which he helped create. Congressman Paul Ryan's absurd idea of more tax cuts for the wealthy and more cruel punishment on the poor is our salvation.
