So, Zach Lahn's latest attack ad on Rob Sands

SIAP...

Is an out and out lie. He claims Rob Sands is a billionaire - HIS words. Now, ROB Sands' wife comes from a somewhat rich family, but Rob Sands is about $998M give or take short of being a billionaire.

ROBERT Sands (no relation nor association whatsoever) IS a billionaire, he's executive chair of Constellation Brands.

My gawd, how can someone running for office screw up this bad? Oh yeah, you're a republican carpetbagging idiot. I guess if you're trailing in polls and have to overcome the fact that you DON'T LIVE IN THE STATE YOU'RE TRYING TO BECOME GOVERNOR IN...yeah, you're gonna lie your *** off to any potential idiots that might vote for you.

I love his ads about how he cherishes clean water.

I thought MAGAs liked billionaires. Now it’s an insult?

Lahn is married to billionaires. He licks Trump's billionaire butthole every chance he gets. He loves Elon for chrissake.

This is really the best Kansas boy can come up with to avoid having to talk about high gas prices, no job creation, and a president who falls asleep during every cabinet meeting?

I listened to him and looked up his claims. There IS a Robert Sand who is a billionaire. Just not the Sand running for governor. Also he’s lying about Sand costing Iowans $7500 each. Republicans can’t win on policy so they have to lie.

I do know Sands first big ad buy featured a big lie. " You look around and chances are your neighbor could be a Chinese corporation... "
Fact: Chinese own 256 - 540 acres out of what - 36,014,720 Iowa acres. Why can't any of these people try to be honest when the facts are easy to find...

In other news, Hinson is bragging about how she's going to throw a big party with Ted Cruz next weekend. People can't afford homes, gas, or beef and the Republican response always seems to be more parties.

“I’m Rob Sand.

I love that in Iowa, you can count on your neighbors to look out for your place or to lend a hand.

But too often these days,

your neighbor is a home owned by a hedge fund,

a farm owned by China,

or a data center that’s getting huge tax breaks while our bills go up.

It’s wrong…

I say, we keep Iowa homes and land in Iowa hands.

And work on bringing down costs for Iowans, too.”




Looks like this has already been addressed Rob...

Gov. Kim Reynolds on Tuesday ( April 2024 ) signed into law new reporting requirements — and harsher penalties — related to foreign farmland ownership in Iowa.

The governor signed Senate File 2204, a measure she has called for since the beginning of the 2024 legislative session. Reynolds said Iowa plays an important role in America’s food chain and when Iowa speaks on threats to American agriculture, the country listens.

“With this bill, our message is unmistakable,” Reynolds said. “American soil belongs in American hands.”

The law will grant the state attorney general, currently Republican Brenna Bird, more powers on oversight related to foreign land ownership, including the ability to subpoena foreign landowners for financial records and land purchase agreements for investigations into potential violations of foreign farmland owner restrictions.

While Reynolds and Republicans have praised Iowa’s strong laws restricting foreign farmland ownership — existing law limits foreign farmland purchases to 320 acres, with those who had farmland before 1980 allowed to retain their land ownership — advocates said the measure was necessary to better identify and address potential violations on foreign farmland restrictions in Iowa.

Most foreign owned land in Iowa is held by Canadians...

I'm still leaning on voting for him, I'd like to see Iowa get back to more purple. I just wished he didn't insult the farm voting block who know that China owns next to nothing in Iowa...

It appears Dickpic isn’t the only bet welcher!

That's some pretty thin skin.

I sincerely hope me saying the thin skin thing doesn't further insult this block or you. I just found your choice to immediately change the subject without comment to be odd.

Or better take. We can call out stupid attacks like this one and make fun of Lahn for trying to shove this blatantly stupid lie down our throats.

I think the funniest lie is Carhartt Rob telling us he’s “bipartisan”. Maybe he confused that with bisexual?
