-—Branstad’s Pro-Life, Pro-Gun, Pro-Family. Best governor the state had.

-—He implemented spending reform measures and streamlined state government from 64 departments to 25.

-—Cut $700 million out of the budget.

-—Cut income tax by 10%

-—Eliminated the inheritance tax.

-—When he left office Iowa had a $900 million surplus after tax cuts were made.

-—He voted against collective bargaining.

-—He helped the accommodation for home educating in Iowa become law (and I certainly thank him for that).

-—He implemented tax tuition credits, as well as, arrangements for books and busing agreements between public and private schools.

-—Passed the Defense of Marriage Act

He held the Governorship for 16 years until he left, was a favorite of Ronald Reagan's, and currently holds a 70% approval rating.

For the record, that's:
An Exceptional record on Life Issues,
An Exceptional record on Family/Social Issues,
An Exceptional Record on Homeschooling Issues,
An Exceptional record on Second Amendment Issues.
Real budget cuts (not just cuts in the rate of increase, REAL cuts)
Real reduction in state workers - actually CLOSED Departments.
Elimination of Inheritance tax altogether.
10% Income tax cut.
REAL record fighting public school union thugs.

I'll take Branstad’s record any day of the week.

Thank you for providing facts on the record of this candidate. I happen to appreciate hard, clear cut facts of a politician’s voting record and/or accomplishments (regardless of how long they held a position) which speak more clearly than any endorsement from any other political figure.
I find it sad that many on here would rather ignore a clear record of a Republican that demonstrated conservatism as well as leadership just to bash someone else. I sometimes wonder if it is clear to many conservatives just how truly successful the DNC and the LSM is in splitting conservatives or those who want to vote conservative over the God awful alternative... progressives (at the very least)

Hey Pissant, do you have any facts to back up your anti-Palin rant?

How about a side-by-side comparison of policy positions, and historical issues on the two candidates where you actually make your point, instead of relying on what somebody else said without really proving the point?

From Titan's list, it looks like Branstad is conservative.

So what's all the hubbub Pissant?
