Conservatives need to start stepping up to the plate in grass roots politics or we’ll get ignored every time in main stream media and by the party money guys. The top three candidates in Iowa are a disgrace for a “conservative” party.

[cinives]

Who was it who said Iowa was a conservative state ? Obviously not.

[MortMan]

Note to self: “paRties”, not “panTies”

Misreading it that way kinda changes the meaning... ;-P

Is this a State Department release?

[Greg F]

I don’t know Iowa at all . . . but Huckabee, Romney and Guilianni attracting the majority of Republicans is a little bit scary to me. It’s like Fox News and NYC money men control the party.

I am waiting for Clinton Inc. to drop a “December Surprise” on Obama. If they have anything on him, true or not, I expect to see it very soon.

It maybe instead that the so called conservative candidates are a disgrace to a ‘conservative’ party. After all it’s the candidates obligation to offer and make his case both locally and nationally and project the leadership qualities the voters are searching for. If they have failed to do that then they deserve some if not much of the blame that’s to be offered. JMO.

27 Days and Iowa begins the weeding process......

Get ‘R Done

Where is the flower among the weeds? I see weeds.

Weed or flower is in the eyes of the beholder and apparently the beholders mostly agree with your assessment.
