screw Branstad!

[RobertPlant]

he said that people stopped for a traffic violation should be forced to prove citizenship. I am a civil libertarian and am always on the lookout for laws that infringe on your rights.

1. Branstad has to please the tea baggers

BVP may still run an indy candidacy. Repugs badly split. About half are reluctant to vote for Terry.

He's looking to underwhelm the low marks he set in his previous terms.

2. Vander Plaats will cave and back Terry.

This is my prediction.

[RobertPlant]

5. he didn't exactly set a low mark

he won 57% of the vote the last time he was elected (1994)

6. I meant his low marks as governor. His admins were far from stellar

But as far as his election numbers, he barely, barely survived the primary.
Back then Iowa just simply didn't elect a democrat governor. Floppy could have won as a republican.

7. Floppy ... nice reference.

He would've been better than Terry, btw.

3. He is also hugely pro business

and anti worker. He wants to tax us and let the corporate bigwigs do what they want. Sound familiar? Sounds scary to me. We had eight loooonnnnngggg years of that nationally and we do not need it anymore.

4. He looked the other way

When Louis Rich was using slave labor by taking advantage of the Bunkhouse Boys. As long as they put money in his pocket everything was fine and dandy. He is one pathetic piece of crap.
