[Don'tMessWithTexas]

I live in Iowa. We had a Republican governor, and a Republican legislature during most of the 1990s. Now everything is run by the Dems. With unbridled powers, they have in one session passed gay rights that will lead to gay marriage, cloning, massive tax increases, more intrusive government programs and an erosion of right to work laws. Despite this assault on the state Republicans are hopelessly splintered on many lines.

I may disagree with many of my fellow Republicans, many of them voted for the gay agenda and some with an expanding nanny state, but they are not my enemies. The Dems are the ones that are actually destroying this state.

This has been a disastrous legislative session. The Dems will no doubt do more damage next session. With that experience, I will be very reluctant to ever speak ill of someone with whom I agree most of the time.

That happened because of stupid RINO leadership of the Republican Party, not because someone criticized somebody.
