IOWA: Hate Group Head Endorses Frothy

The head of Iowa’s Family Leader, the authors of that “blacks did better under slavery” pledge, has endorsed Rick Santorum. One Iowa reacts via press release:



Today’s endorsement of Rick Santorum by Bob Vander Plaats comes as no surprise. Both Santorum and Vander Plaats have all built their careers attacking loving and committed gay and lesbian couples, and the fact is that Vander Plaats caved to the extreme social conservative agenda. With poll numbers lagging, it is clear Rick Santorum does not have a chance against President Obama in November, and Vander Plaats has endorsed a losing candidate. Today’s announcement proves what we have known all along: Bob Vander Plaats is out of touch with what voters want. What Iowans care about are jobs and the economy, and they deserve a candidate who does too.
