There are people saying things on this thread they know nothing about.
This is where you and I part company. Your way would be easy for me, too and I've done it in the past. It will get us no where. It will take us backward, not forward.
I personally can't stand Ganske but I have to tell myself that if he wins the primary, I have to go in the voting booth, hold my nose and vote for him.
To do anything else, elects Harkin.
The Reformed party and the Constitution party is not as lily white as the driven snow, either.
We MUST fight our battles in the primary.
I'm well aware that Bill Salier has great support both in Des Moines and amongst the leadership of the Iowa GOP.
That's one of Bill's strongest suits, in my book. He has shown a remarkable ability to bridge old divisions in the Republican Party of Iowa. That's one of the things that makes him eminently electable.
My scorn is saved for those who are supporting Ganske because 'he has money', or 'he has held office', or 'he has paid his dues', or some such nonsense.
Highest regards...EV
You're right about this BUT we don't need to broadcast it. Most of the blame can be put on Vilsack and I want to keep it that way.
But I think it is becoming less and less likely every day that Ganske will win the primary anyway...and therefore for Republicans to face a situation where there is no excitement and energy within the base for the critical task of defeating Commie Tommy.
Yea, many have thought Ganske was going to walk away with this thing. That's why they supported him.
Bill is slowly peeling away some of that support. As his campaign picks up momentum, his support will continue to grow. We must be patient. So far, so good.
Amen.
If Ganske wins, at least you know that, with the Constitution Party, there is at least one candidate who has actually read the Constitution.
Is that a fact? When is the primary anyway?
Bill Salier has worked all 99 Iowa counties faithfully for the last 3 years, while Greg Ganske has been thumbing his nose at the Republican platform and the Republican Caucus in the House during that entire time.
Iowa's midterm primary voters aren't stupid. They know how much of a RINO Ganske is...and to think that they would reward someone who is so faithless to their principles and political goals with a U.S. Senate nomination is the real joke.
What does it matter to you anyhow? From what you have told me about your positions previously on the issues of our day, you would vote for Harkin before either Salier or Ganske anyway.
Actually, Harkin is one of my ten least favorite senators, and we disagree on a lot. You are SO uni-dimensional. LOL. I will visit with you after the primary. Cheers.
Most GOP - No idea. One of the West rural counties.
Most Dem - Davenport.
