Social conservatives Meeting a huge bust!

[sportage]

Social conservatives met in Des Moines for the Rep. Steve King's (Iowa Republican) Saturday social get together. No one came. Except for the lost causes, the 2012 hopefuls, like Newt Gingrich, Haley Barbour, Herman Cain and Bachmann. More people show up for opening of a new local Wal-mart, or the return of McDonalds baby back McRibs. Why this should deserve any news coverage is the real news story in itself. Downtown Des Moines was typically empty on Saturday, except for a small skywalk fund raiser for the local food bank. I've seen more interest in the neighborhood boy scouts Saturday bake sale.
All of this makes me wonder... why give these people air time? At all?
A total joke!

Iowans in the audience at the King event did not seem concerned about the rift between the wings of the GOP.

“It will work itself out one way or another,” said Bill Griffel, 67, a retired ad salesman and stock broker who said he liked former United Nations ambassador John Bolton and Barbour the most of any in the presidential field.

Yeah... all two of them....

Two thoughts come to mind.
1. Blowing your own horn.
2. Much to do about nothing.
Oh.. maybe a third,
3. Another slow news day in Des Moines.

There were more than two people at the tables.
They may have been paid shills but the tables were full.

Iowa and the rest of the Republican states rule

"Their argument is that many of the outcomes that have produced the nation’s economic crisis are, at their core, driven by moral deficiencies: greed, dishonesty, selfishness, cowardice, and the like."

Maybe if they had like an open bar and some rap music it would help.
