Back to the Future Branstad

By Iowans Rock | 10/23/09

A week has gone by since former Iowa Governor Terry Branstad resigned from his job at Des Moines University to "explore" the possibility of running for a 5th term.  I know that some out there thought the other Republican candidates would buckle in fear and bow out of the race in order to make way for King Branstad but I haven't noticed that happening.  In fact, I haven't noticed much at all.

Haley Barbour and Michael Reagan Do Not Speak for Me

By Iowans Rock | 09/25/09

Oh the glory of living in a battleground state that holds the First in the Nation Caucuses.  It seems the GOP is laying some ground work in Iowa to prepare for the 2012 primary season.  Iowa really isn't seeing a whole lot of presidential contenders right now but we are getting a lot of advice about who we should vote for, what principles to leave behind, and the importance of party unity.  (Notice there was no discussion about... read more »

Bob Vander Plaats and his "Infammatory" Language?

By Iowans Rock | 08/27/09

Why is the Iowa Democratic Party so infatuated with the Republican gubernatorial candidates more than nine months away from the primary?  I realize that they are probably anything but proud of their standard bearer's performance lately and are trying to distract us from that fact, but come on, accusing Bob Vander Plaats of using "rhetoric of armed extremists" is a bit of a stretch.

Cogressman Boswell, Did You Read the Bill?

By Iowans Rock | 08/25/09

I attended my first townhall yesterday and it happened to be Representative Leonard Boswell's in Des Moines on the topic of the health care bill.  I now realize it will be my last townhall.  I have come to the conclusion that a Type A personality like myself is best left to sitting behind the computer as I cannot deal with people who have no sense of individual responsibility. If you have ever seen the movie WALL-E you will recognize... read more »
