Iowa

I did not notice that disclaimer. I figure if it is from a political party it is public material. Also on blogforiowa.com today.

I agree there is a lot to unpack there. Kaufmann was my rep many years back. Early on he seemed to be a decent fellow looking for input on issues. Used to have long conversations with him. Over the years he has turned into a raging asshole seemingly bent on destroying democrats.

My wife reminded me how he screwed over a mutual friend when she ran for state senate. She was a teacher at the local college and he was her department chair. She thought the world of him and he really screwed her over. Don't believe they have spoken since.

I had a couple of personal battles with him also and could not understand where he was coming from. Since I do not know what influences him, I just assume he has been brainwashed with money, power and praise. For a history major he seems to have missed much of the lessons of history.
