Addressing a group of supporters on April 9, Rep. Steve King (R) decried the "overreaching nanny state" created by the Obama admin., and called for a wholesale repeal of "Obamacare." King: "Pull it out by its roots as if it was never enacted."
King, a self-described "full spectrum constitutional conservative," spoke of what he deemed excessive government involvement in the lives of citizens. King: "It breaks our spirit. It takes away our independence. Give people back their freedoms and let them make their own decisions."
Of the campaign and his interactions with voters, King said, "It feels good. You listen to what they think about. They love the Constitution. They love our freedoms. They want free enterprise" (Senzarino, Mason City Globe Gazette 4/9).
Meanwhile, King "is all fired up about animal flesh these days, talking trash about vegetarians during a town hall meeting last week and pulling strings to get the House Agriculture Committee to weigh in on the 'lean, finely textured beef' fight that's KO'd Beef Products Inc. in recent weeks."
King has contacted cmte chair Rep. Frank Lucas (R-OK) "to launch an investigation into the 'pink slime' scandal that's caused BPI to temporarily halt production of its controversial beef by-product." Cmte spokeswoman: "There may be an opportunity to have a hearing. But nothing is scheduled at present" (Rojas, Roll Call, 4/9).
