A vote for Conlin is a vote for more debt

A July 3 letter from David Lees stated that Sen. Chuck Grassley is no longer a conservative and does not represent everyday Iowans. “He has made his millions” and now it is time for him to go. Well, what are our options?
Roxanne Conlin is running against Grassley. Conlin just got done suing Microsoft in a class-action lawsuit and has collected her tens of millions of dollars. Before you vote Chuck out, you better ask Roxanne if she will fully support President Obama's spend, spend and spend some more policies. Being a good liberal progressive, my guess is that she will find no problem in fully supporting Obama.
This country is $14 trillion in debt and growing by the moment. I don't believe we can expect any help from Conlin to slow the debt train down. A vote for her will be a vote for yet more national debt.
