Republican Party officials in Iowa have voted to cancel the decades-old Iowa Straw Poll, amid waning interest from GOP presidential candidates.

Jeff Kaufmann, chairman of the Republican Party of Iowa's State Central Committee, said in a statement: "I've said since December that we would only hold a straw poll if the candidates wanted one, and this year that is just not the case."

The Iowa straw poll has been lauded by conservative activists in the state for decades but in recent years hasn’t been widely embraced by GOP candidates both inside and outside the state.

The Iowa poll has been held every election cycle since 1979 without a Republican incumbent in the White House. It was initially used to gauge a candidate’s electability, and over the years has brought in thousands of dollars for Iowa’s GOP.

However, winning the Iowa straw poll has often not translated to winning the party’s nomination.

Three of this year’s Republican presidential hopefuls -- former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee -- have all said they’ll skip the straw poll this year.

I wonder why?

I suppose, if you consider 1992 the stone age.

No, I meant the Stone Age when I said the Stone Age.

Oh the "we bombed Iraq back into the stone age", stone age!

Congratulations, you just disenfranchised 10000 Americans with one racist post.

Schelessinger isn't a racist because she said African Americans say "nigger, nigger, nigger" in music and in comedy acts

What Dan actually said...
Dan8267 says

Schelessinger isn't a racist because she said African Americans say "nigger, nigger, nigger" in music and in comedy acts. Schelessinger is a racist because she is fucking racist. She's also ignorant and obviously a unqualified as any kind of psychologist.

Once again, conservatives must deliberately distort the truth.

She's no Doctor Ruth!

Today Doctor Ruth would be a Doctor in African American studies, self certified sex therapist, and would give advice like...
"You've got to back that shit up and put some stank on it."

We engineers are why people live in a comfortable 21st century lifestyle instead of the Stone Age.

Ha ha ha - It's Capitalism that made it happen. Lets see you go to Sudan and make it happen.

Ah, the religion of capitalism. Like all other religions, it's kept society from advancing. Engineering and science succeed despite capitalism and greed, not because of it. It is pretty disgusting for someone to claim that the owner class, which sits on its fat asses, is responsible for the accomplishments of millions of hard-working engineers. No owner aristocrat could write a database management system, a web server, an operating system, a word processor, a spreadsheet program, or any other modern technology. Control over money is not innovation.

As for Sudan, it has other religious problems.

For the 100th time, who is 'Shrek'?

Dan8267 says

The real question is why is Shrek still on this board?

64   Y   2015 Jun 15, 12:15pm  

Don't despair! Now that you've had your ass handed to you in 5 different flavors, you can still publicly wet your pants and wail how some fuck named 'shrek' should be banned from whatever, just like your butt buddy dan...
