[47of74]

DES MOINES, Iowa—A.J. Spiker has been elected the new chairman of the Iowa Republican Party.

Spiker, a former Story County GOP chairman, was elected Saturday by the Iowa GOP's Central Committee.

He replaces Matt Strawn, who announced his resignation Jan. 31 in the wake of disputed vote counting in the state's leadoff presidential caucuses on Jan. 3.

1. Republicans are bad at math

2. Republikons are bad at everything they do

3. They excel at hate and 'no'

4. I stand corrected

my bad for not realizing the hate and discontent that they are so good at
peace

5. That suggests they're familiar with...

...the concepts of "zero," and negative numbers:

0 health care
0 taxes for wealthy
-1 aid to poor
-1 retirement, pensions, savings
-1 house

Which suggests to me that playing fairly with Republicans is a zero-sum game.
