Iowa GOP Legislator Tells Young People Not To Worry About Government, ‘Go Home’


“GO HOME” is the edgy new Iowa GOP slogan for the young people. When a group of students visited the state capitol to testify about the effects of budget cuts on higher education, GOP State Senator Shawn Hammerlinck told the students, “I do not like it when students actually come here and lobby me for funds,” because democracy is over now and THERE WILL BE NO LOBBYING unless it is done by old men with bags of gold coins. Shawn Hammerlinck does not appreciate hearing from constituents when they want to ask him for money. That is his job, to ask people for money, to elect him, so he can yell at voters.

1. "What, you don't have 30 pieces of silver for me? Get the fuck out of here!"

2. The best way to get young people pissed off at you,
Is to try and tell them what to do.
