"I don't think real America is Iowa." - Lynne Hunter (Duncan Hunter's wife)

[DesEtoiles]

"I think Wyoming's very important because this is where real America is," she said. "I don't think real America is Iowa. I don't mean that in a mean way, but this is where the real people are, in the Western states."

This is a quote from Lynne Hunter, wife of GOP presidential candidate Rep. Duncan Hunter. Nice!

I'm sure Ohio and Florida, and all the other states, will be shocked to hear it.

2. What a fool. And I DO MEAN that in a mean way.

3. Of all states, she mentions WYOMING?

Yeah. Great way to get delegates.

[DesEtoiles]

4. She is campaiging there now-2 more delegates than NH, and an earlier primary but

I think both states have been penalized by the GOP for holding primaries too early.

5. hey Lynne! I've BEEN to Wyoming. There isn't anything "Real" about it!

:rofl:

old white guys in cowboy hats and fireworks stands every mile along I80.

lots of sky out there but honey, that ain't "Real" 'Murica.

6. Well, Lynne

it sure the hell isn't Southern California either. At least Hunter's district is hardly what I would call real America either.

Duncan Hunter. Why is he still running? Did he get any votes at all?

7. I am in MA and am shocked to learn that I am not real person - although I

have suspected my neighbor of being from another planet for some time now.

8. "Wyoming has more cattle than people, and lots and lots of sheep."

Which certainly explains Mrs. Hunter's statement.

Don't take my word for it, this is the word from the USDA: http://content.fsa.usda.gov/fsakids/State_Color_sheets/wyoming.pdf

9. Maybe she thinks Gitmo is real America.

Buh-bye, Duncan. And don't forget to take your oven-fried chicken with you.

10. Isn't Wyoming the home of Dick Cheney?

Now, there's a real person for you.

No offense to Wyomingians (?) who actually are real people.

[TomClash]

11. Iowa is now on par with Brooklyn

We're not "Real America" either.

I welcome all Iowans to the "Not Real America" Club.

[DesEtoiles]

12. Dear Lynne - what about those "illegals" in the Western states, are they real America too?

[Bicoastal]

13. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't "real America"...now stay with me on this...

...THE ENTIRE FUCKING COUNTRY?!

Stick a fork in Hunter--he's done.

16. Willard got 67% of Wyoming?

I realize that probably equals out to 25 people, but were they all his relatives driving over the border from Utah??

15. I've been to Iowa and have been to Wyoming

Iowa is much more diverse than Wyoming by a long shot. I'd say 3/4 of Wyoming is either state parks or huge expanses of farmland. I remember the last time I drove through Wyoming seeing Halliburton trucks hauling stuff. Iowa, on the other hand, does have some pretty medium-sized towns and colleges and so on.

Lynne Hunter is as much of an ass as her husband.
