I was being trolled on this thread, heavily, by people who had a long history of trolling me, and wasn’t in any mood that day to answer their loaded questions. So, sue me.
And no, I didn’t support Branstad. He’s one of the biggest RINOs in the country. I don’t vote for people who are helping to destroy our country, and my state.
Everything I said in my admittedly longshot campaign against him was correct. He claims to be pro-life, but won’t lift a finger to stop abortion, or even to defund Planned Parenthood, as he promised to do. He won’t do anything to rein in the out of control judges who imposed “gay marriage” on our state.
We also have the highest corporate tax rate in America, and among the highest marginal personal tax rates, something Branstad and his crony capitalist buddies couldn’t care less about.
And, as I warned would occur, the first thing he did in the last legislative session was force through a 45% gas tax increase.
And he’s kept pushing his pro-homosexual “bullying” legislation too. The legislature has continued to oppose that, thankfully, but recently Branstad went ahead with it anyway via executive order.
So, anyhow, I don’t think I have anything to apologize for. No one else would stand up to him, so I did. No regrets.
Thanks for the explanation.
