"the Koch brothers"

"out of state oil billionaires"

Those are the only two things I've been hearing on political radio ads for the last couple of months. (I'm in Iowa and the ads are against Joni Ernst, a Rep. Senate candidate)

Liberals are never "staunch". Their ideologies change like the wind. They have no firm foundation, only having the Feeeelz of the moment to which they respond by clamoring for more money from those who produce it, only to give it to those who they Feeelz deserve it.


Staunch
1.
loyal and committed in attitude.
synonyms: stalwart, loyal, faithful, committed, devoted, dedicated, dependable, reliable, steady, constant, trusty, hard-working, steadfast, redoubtable, unwavering, tireless;
