From Nixon's plain cloth coat to Ernst's bread bags on shoes.

1. they must eat a lot of bread

I can't believe they did not have boots on the farm.
me thinks she is full of shit

5. If she grew up castrating hogs...

...she must have had boots or she would have been full of pig $h!t, wouldn't you think? (I do not speak from experience.)

[Nobel_Twaddle_III]

10. yup, when I was a school bus driver, all the farm kids had boots they wore to school.

they changed into shoes when they got to school.
.
The other line "all they owned was their sweat." well did they not own the farm?
and the livestock?

I think she is full of shit.

2. Not listening but I do have some experience being poor on an Iowa farm. Did her family lose the

farm? Did she eat spaghetti $.39 a bag and eggs for every meal? Did she wash dishes in the school lunch room to pay for her and her brother's hot lunches? How poor was she?

3. Tweety just said people are going to love that "Republican plain cloth coat touch"

I think most people are going to think that's nuts.

4. Tweety sucks

The genitals of politicians.

9. Can't stand him since he fell in love with Shrub's codpiece walk on that carrier.

6. Difference - most women I saw in the 1950s wore cloth coats, NO ONE had bread bags on their shoes

I grew up in Northern Indiana. We had plastic boots - hand me downs maybe, but boots. I really don't think the plastic bags would even have a high success rate - and if they broke, the shoes would get pretty wet! Not to mention, I really can't imagine they work for snow.

7. I don't recall any Normal Rockwell portraits with bread bags on their feet.

11. Senator Breadbags was not born until 1970.

People wore boots to do the chores. Sometimes they were rubber or gum boots that fit over their shoes. The town kids wore rubber boots over their shoes, too.

My husband comes from a long line of Iowa farmers. No one wore bread bags to school, no matter how poor they were.

12. don't know about snow in northern Indiana but they sure wouldn't work here in

New England. Boots have to be tough. I have low boots and higher boots. slushy snow would destroy the bags and the thought of them on any ice is just scary.

8. I don't know.

Wonder Bread builds strong bodies 12 ways.

13. Her parents obviously were slackers and takers...

isn't that just like the poor?

[Midnight Writer]

14. I wore plastic bags over my socks

and inside my shoes so the other kids wouldn't see.

What a moran.

15. Ernst's family recieved 460,000 bucks in farm subsidies

Damn that "Big Government". If she didn't have decent boots, it was because her family didn't care enough to buy them for her.

More likely, though, is that she is a lying sack of political slime.
