Fortunately Gene Fraise is retiring and will not be up for reelection in 2012. I am running the campaign of the Republican who’s running for his seat. There are 3 Democrats and one Independent running as well.
I doubt it will happen this year. We simply need 2 more seats in the state Senate to get this and alot of other laws passed, so hopefully next year will be a different story.
Not going to happen. Too many Robert Ray/Doug Gross RINOs still in the Iowa legislature. Republicans have had majorities before in the Iowa legislature, and never even came close to being considered in the past.
I remember in 1993 a convenience store clerk in Waterloo was killed in a gang initiation. The piece of human crap made the clerk get down on his knees, and the gang member shot him point blank in the back of the head. The clerk’s father went to the Iowa legislature to get the death penalty reinstated, and the things supposed “Republican” legislators told him about why this animal should not be put to death were abhorent.
