Debbie Wasserman Schultz's Statement on Ames Straw Poll Results   Updated at 8:01 PM
   
Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz's Statement on Ames Straw Poll Results
http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/democratic-nati...

"Today's results could have been easily predicted by anyone who watched the Republican debate on Thursday, heard Mitt Romney say at the Iowa State Fair this week that 'corporations are people,' or have been following the race up to now. All of the Republican candidates have made clear their allegiance to the Tea Party, supporting extreme policies that would hurt the middle class, seniors, and students. The only winner tonight was the Tea Party.

"We're not hearing any new ideas or solutions from Republicans, just the same failed Republican ideas that endangered our economy in the first place. Every single Republican candidate, just like Washington Republicans, is embracing policies that would maintain corporate loopholes and tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires, which would force the middle class to bear much of the burden. Every single Republican candidate supports the Ryan budget plan and Cut, Cap and Balance that would end Medicare as we know it and remove the safety net for America's seniors.

"None of the Republican candidates are willing to stand up for the middle class and working families. They are more than willing to take their cues from the Tea Party and let them take over the Republican Party, and they are putting ideology first. The Ames Straw Poll may be over, but the campaign continues. As these Republican candidates travel the country, I have no doubt they'll make clear to voters where they stand-on the side of large corporations and the wealthiest Americans, not the middle class, seniors, or students."

Hey Debbie no matter how many times you repeat the same lie over and over again, it will not magically become truth one day.
You and your party have had more than 3 years to fix the mess that you claim the GOP created, in that time from 2007 until now, all you have done is increase spending and whine that you need more money. Your party has not had one solution and has not done one damn thing to improve things, if you think the voters are going to buy your bullshit, I have news for you, they aren't.

How many times do you think we're going to be treated to a repeat of the phrase "middle class and working families," over the next few months?

Doesn't matter.

Use what you learn.
Use it wisely.

I'm not sure that, using the toes and fingers of every member, that we could keep track of them all.

Any Republican with more than four functional brain cells--sorry Paul fans, that leaves you out--knows that the Iowa straw poll is a GOP fundraiser and about as useful as a football bat in predicting who the eventual nominee will be.

Consider:

2007 winner: Mitt Romney (McCain finished 10th with 0.7 percent.)
1999 winner: George W. Bush--with 31 percent of the vote.
1995 winner: tie between Bob Dole and Phil Gramm
1987 winner: Pat Robertson (!), George H.W. Bush finished 3rd.)
1979 winner: George H.W. Bush

So, anyone here REALLY think that Ames means shit?

No, Sparky,  but it is worth a lot of airtime to win it.  The Iowa caucuses themselves are as big a pointless fiasco as the straw poll, the value is all in the publicity.

You got that right. The Iowa caucuses are the stupidest exercise in American politics. If I lived in Iowa the chance I would attend a party
caucus is less than zero. I don't like being in a room crowded with loud, obnoxious people, and that's all the caucuses are.

Why would anyone attend a function where you know in advance it'll be a bunch of tea partiers and a bunch of ronbots screeching at each other?
