Governor Culver says the Iowa budget is fine. He claims the $161 million shortage isn’t there. He said he believes in marriage between one man and one woman and would do everything he could to protect it. He thinks I-Jobs will save Iowa but what will we do when the money is no longer there? He’s a high school teacher but our education system is in the toilet while continuing to receive more and more money. He thinks bankrupting our kids is a way of paying for today. No wonder with sixteen months to go before the election and one full legislative session left 53% of Iowans already want a new Governor.
This past weekend I attended what I would call “Bobfest.” I was in a parade with Team Vander Plaats and attended two house parties for Bob in Polk County. I suggest that everyone who wants to know more about Mr. Vander Plaats or is on the fence about him do things like this. This is the way to learn about him as a candidate for Iowa Governor instead of listening to the RINOs or anti-Christian bigots.
I also suggest those who like to shoot thier mouth off about BobVander Plaats being a single issue candidate attend one of his house parties or events. Maybe then they will realize that he is a well rounded social and fiscal conservative with many plans for Iowa’s failing education system, health care system, and economy. And while Vander Plaats is an outspoken supporter of traditional marriage, that has not been the focus of his campaign. The focus, along with many other issues, has been on stopping the tyranny of the courts and putting the power back in the hands of the people where it belongs. (By the way, almost 70% of Iowans from all political affiliations believe that the power belongs to the people and not the courts.)
During one the house parties Bob Vander Plaats was asked if he is a “one trick pony.” Bob replied that he has more experience in education, business, health care, and human services than Governor Culver or any other Republican candidate. He then said, “If that’s a one trick pony than that’s the pony I want to ride.” These are the types of things Bob Vander Plaats brings to the table as a candidate for Iowa Governor. If you need more proof, please watch this.

Was i upset when Governor Culver failed to stand up for traditional marriage Yes i was. That’s done over with for now we got more serious things on the burner. Like what is Culver and the state legislators going to do next year when they are faced with a even bigger budget deficit than this year? Will he try to sell off the Iowa Iottery again?Will they try to borrow another 800 million for another 30 years next year ? We all know he can’t keep expanding the budget with less money to work with. We got to live within our means and its high time that Gov.Culver learned that to and come 2010 he will hear us loud and clear were tired of spend spend spend. The marriage issue isn’t my main concern by no means.
Great Post! Good news that makes my day. The Silent Majority is NOT SILENT now! So glad and thankful we have a candidate like Bob.
