U.S. Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, said Democrats are working to create a kind of dependence “in the United States in an effort to broaden his political base and stay in power.” That’s part of reason, “King said speaking of the efforts of federal health reform to reporters after a recording on Tuesday of “Iowa Press Iowa Public Television. “King, who represents the fifth district of Iowa, said it will do its best to try to stop a bill health care heading to the desk of President Barack Obama, and urged others who opposed the plan to join him. He said Democrats are moving toward national health care, whether public insurance option is included in the final bill or not. “That’s the goal, that is the effort,” said King. ” They’re going to regulate everything, and when they do, we will lose the freedom we have today to buy health insurance. “He predicted that if Congress approves health reform, the Democrats will pay a price in the polls in 2010.” I’ve never seen this type of energy in America, this type of survey, especially from the heart of the heart America, “said King. King said he is concerned about the” mentality “adrift in America who do not seem to understand the free enterprise system.” We are descendants in this part of the country of people who came from all over the country covered wagons, “said King.” I mean, they came here to live free or die on the prairie. They did not ask for a handout from the government. “Norma Sterzenbach, executive director of the Democratic Party of Iowa, described the comments of King’s hypocritical.” Before the attacks the Democrats for their work to help seniors pay for prescription and help students pay for college, you should consider abandonment of his government salary, like other members of Congress have, “said Sterzenbach. King, a four-term congressman, said he plans to seek a new mandate in 2010. Iowa is expected to miss one of its seats in Congress, and King said he probably will continue to run for reelection in 2012 even if redistricting places him in the same district with another member of Congress. As Republicans look to topple Iowa Gov. Chet Culver, next year, the King said he knew if he would support a candidate in the GOP primary. “I’d like to see combat this, because it tests their strength, and tests your ability, and also influences the policy for Republicans will be compared against the policy which has been established by Governor Culver, “King said. The ‘Iowa Press’ with the King is scheduled to air at 7:30 PM Friday and Sunday at noon Iowa Public Television.
