FORGET THE "SOCIALISM" LABELS, LET'S STICK TO POLICIES




By randy-evans

If you had your ear cupped just right and were listening closely Sunday afternoon, you might have heard my head explode.

The pressure inside the old noggin has been building for months, thanks to what can be called politics as usual in Washington, D.C., and Des Moines. So, my friends and relatives were not surprised by what occurred about 2 o’clock Sunday.

My cranium could not contain the buildup any longer when I read that U.S. Rep. Devin Nunes of California was fuming about his visit to a restaurant in that state.

The waitress asked the congressman if he wanted a straw with his beverage. She explained that she now has to ask that question to remain on good terms with “the straw police.”

primary today, I would vote for:

that's sidetracking the serious issues going on with his idiotic remarks and comments regarding the 'straw' issue. Obviously he's not interested in finding out what the real issues of today are, and then on a factual basis, deal with them.
