On the radio this morning, on the top of the hour news clip (Blaze News), I was told what it took for a woman candidate for the senate in Iowa (I think) to win an election. Her main two commercials was: one in which she talked about her experiences castrating hogs and one that had a video of her shooting a gun. I had often wondered what it took to qualify.

Those two things alone provide more real life experience than the current POTUS had before he was elected. Sounds like she was too qualified to run on the Democratic ticket if you ask me.
t, didn't us taxpayers send you to school so you could practice medicine?
you are a bad influence on dire, Kenny and others................ mad needs some frontal lobe attention; do you think you are up to the task?
and the captn'
oh god, I forgot about HyFly. make him an appointment too. ......he's up there flying around above us.
Jt, you might worry about a candidate's ability to castrate the pigs who are more equal than the rest of us; I am more concerned with allowing some Democratic voters out of the asylums.
State Sen. Leland Yee might have officially dropped out of the race to become California’s next secretary of state in March, but that did little to diminish his numbers on election night Tuesday.
Yee, who was arrested back in March on gun smuggling charges, finished astoundingly well, with nearly 300,000 people checking his name on the ballot Tuesday – despite not campaigning at all since his arrest, allegedly plotting to deal weapons with a radical Islamic group in the Philippines, and maintaining a close connection with a powerful Chinese gangster who was also arrested in the sting.

I sincerely hope you kept the receipt, since I paid for my education out of my own pocket, it is my hope you might be able to get some of that money back you claim you spent. It will go a a long way in providing antipsychotic meds.
Don't fool yourself QD into believing that medical schools are truly supplemented by the government. The tuition is enormous and most people in medical school will leave owing hundreds of thousands of dollars. If the government truly wants a single payor system, which I think is the liberal goal, then the first thing they will have to address is this issue. I will be more than happy to discuss it with you, but not on this thread, since it was originated to talk about true job experiences of politicians and their fitness to serve.
jt attempted to disparage a Republican candidate from her ad, without further researching her background. Turns out the lady has an impressive career. On TV, I heard her state she used the line in a debate and it sent over so well with Iowans, she decided to use it in her campaign.
To jt, I would suggest, before engaging mouth, first use brain to research a subject. Otherwise, it may make one look foolish. One wouldn't wish to be compared with an old Squirrelly Dawg.
I merely made the mistake of listening to Blaze News. You know, the one Glenn Beck created. I should have know better than to get any info or news from a right wing source.

Well, that is interesting. You, an admitted die hard democrat, getting his news from a right wing source.
More likely you were listening only to do just what you did, take a little snippet of something and post it in a way you thought would reflect badly on a republican. You should know by now that always blows back in your face.
Translated, jt was too lazy to do due diligence before posting. How hard is a simple search.Better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and prove it.

If due diligence has anything to do with work, you're right
