Steve King proud of new bill to prevent states from barring animal cruelty

[kpete]

Here he is talking about his new amendment seeking to ban states from passing their own laws on animal cruelty in the food industry:

(King) brags that his legislation “wipes out everything they’ve (animal rights advocates) done with pork and veal.”

He's referring there to efforts by states to require farmed pigs and cows have the luxury of cages that let them turn around, which several states have already passed laws on but which people like Steve King is the path to communism. So take that, states who give a crap about cruel farming practices!

1. This man is an embarrassment to humanity.

He comes from Iowa where pork is King. Oh, wait a minute..I know there is a good joke here...

3. His state gets lots of farm bill "pork."

As in agricultural subsidies.

I showed some guys on one message board, that corn farmers in Iowa get more cash handouts in a month, than someone on SSI would get in 25 YEARS.

2. It's official . . . we are financing the Congressional Coo Coo Club

Bachmann, Issa, West, Walsh and King all need to be committed. People are struggling to survive and they are bullshitting all day, every day. One crazy as hell thing after another. Where does this shit stop?

6. That's why I'm a vegetarian.....

comfort before you're slaughtered..... doesn't work for me. But what a jerk he is ......he's one of those whose brain just doesn't register compassion . Disgusting.

7. What an incredible asshole!

I actually hadn't realized that the CA law applied to products brought into the state (which is part of why I resolved to only buy CA eggs as soon as I voted for it), but I'm glad it does. Hope this amendment gets slapped down...

9. well so much for state's rights

funny how flimsy GOP's support for that becomes depending on the issue.

10. Going vegan is something that anyone can do.

But then, I'll save DU the bandwidth on the day as a response to this. 100 round magazine bad, bacon good.
