Fact #1: Don’t take our word for it

For 127 days we have published facts about Steve King and why he isn’t the right choice for Iowa. But don’t take our word for it, here – according to the Sioux City Journal - is what the reaction was when Christie stopped by Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church last night for dinner:

Paul Bindner, of Le Mars, said it was a nice surprise to see her at the church. He said he doesn’t always vote Democrat but cast his ballot for Vilsack because he was tired of King’s politics.

“I think she’d be good in Congress and a good representative. You’ve got to vote for the people, not the party,” he said.

Polls show King and Vilsack in a dead heat, which Gus Scgos, of Sioux City, said made him nervous. 

“I would like to see her win, but I don’t know if that will happen. I believe she is a nice person and I like strong people, honest people,” said Scgos.

When George Klimiades, of Whiting, Iowa, shook hands with the candidate, he wished her good luck.

“I haven’t voted yet. I will vote on Tuesday, though, and I’m going to vote for her. I think it would be good for the district to have a change and a new perspective in office,” Klimiades said.

There’s only one day left, but Christie Vilsack has the momentum and the support to win.

Fact #2: Good for a beer, not for Congress

Congressman King might be good for a beer, but he has not been good for Iowa. With two days left until Election Day, the choice is clear who will represent the best interests of Iowa’s 4th Congressional District. Today, Christie Vilsack was endorsed by the Mason City Globe Gazette, showing that the Vilsack campaign has the momentum.

Here’s what they said about Congressman King’s leadership over the last ten years:

“Steve King seems like a nice fellow. Sitting down with members of the Globe Gazette Editorial Board, he has always been pleasant, engaging and confident — the kind of guy it might be fun to have a beer with and watch a football game.

We’ve been less impressed by the Steve King we see in office, and by his decisions to stake out positions at the extremes of issues. He seems to take pleasure in making remarks that cause jaws to drop and draw unflattering attention to the state.

Now that an election is near, King may claim that he is often misquoted or taken out of context, but all it takes is a search for “Steve King Iowa” on YouTube or Google to find first-hand examples of his thoughts on immigration, President Obama, torture, disaster relief, abortion, global warming, the treatment of animals, death panels and more that seem designed to position King in some widely right radio-talk-show-based faction of his party.”
