Musicians Wanted

Part 1

Archie Brooks’ resignation from the Des Moines City Council has to be the most frightening event in the last half century in Polk County politics. Today Archie said “The CIETC thing keeps going but in the last weeks it's started to show that I'm not the only guy" in the spotlight, Brooks said. "I'm not going to take the fall for a lot of people at the state they are trying to protect." In light of that bone chilling statement, the music that Archie could sing would make quite an album (CDs to you youngsters). As the Beatles proved with Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” in 1967-a story album works.

Track 1 – Working Class Hero (John Lennon). The story line here is about Des Moines labor boss, CIETC Board member, and Prairie Meadows Board member Dan Albritton,- who most recently delivered a $450,000 bonanza to his unions, courtesy of John Mauro, Tom Hockensmith and Angela Connolly. “Theres room at the top they are telling you still…If you want to be like the folks on the hill. A working class hero is something to be…”

Dan and Archie could sing a duet chorus while living La Dolce Vita on the boat of the same name they shared with Ramona Cunningham.

Track 2 - We are Family (Sly and the Family Stone). The second line of the refrain says it all-“I got all my family with me.” How many hundreds of thousands of dollars in bonuses and raises for friends and family?

Track 3 – Shaft (Isaac Hayes). “Who is the man with the [payoff] in his hand, Ako, Ako Samad”.

Track 4 – On the Road Again” (Waylon & Willie). A country homage to the many vacations purchased with tax dollars courtesy of that Tom Vlassis acquired $25K credit limit MasterCard for Ramona courtesy of CIETC. “Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway. We're the best of friends; Insisting that the world be turnin' our way.” Can’t you just the see the happy smiles as that credit card got signed-while partying with their friends Tom Hockensmith, Angela Connolly and John Mauro.

Track 5 – Angie (Rolling Stones). A tortured plea for Angela Connolly, who most recently helped orchestrate the ouster of long time Recorder Tim Brien for the offense of not hiring her brother. Pity poor Angie when she had to tell her brother “At least you can’t say we never tri-ied”.

I’m looking for suggestions as to some other numbers Archie (“Sugar”-that one dates me) Brooks could use to finish off an 8 – 10 track story album. Reader’s suggestions are welcome. Burton Rider and Maverick this means you and any other musicians need to put on your creative hats and help complete this album.

Part 2

Some of you may have noticed a recent upsurge in support for Dr. Mark Klein on the presidential preference poll. It turns out that the Klein votes weren’t a crank Democrat attempt to squirrel the poll but a reflection of a small groundswell of support for that candidate’s position on the importance of fathers in the lives of our children. The Iowa based “Children Need Both Parents” group found the Real Sporer and expressed their support for Dr. Klein.

Perhaps this otherwise anomalous voting pattern points to an overlooked issue in our conservative “family first” message. In a society that is altogether too atomized we need to ensure that fathers are more than ATMs in broken and blended families. The Democrat approach has been to focus on child support collection as the only contribution that Dads make-but where is our answer? Food for thought, eh? Maybe some Republican candidates will start talking about the very real non financial problems faced by broken and blended families.

But these Iowa political polls get watched in Washington. Dr. Klein has no chance of securing our nomination. If viewed from the prism of our first in the nation status we felt that resetting the poll would prevent national figures from trivializing the issue of fathers as a statistical quirk of a local blog poll.

So, by deleting Dr. Klein altogether, you are defacto burying the issue of equal parenting after divorce. So much for "compassionate conservatism" Harrumph!

I've noticed the recent "upsurge" in votes for Pataki over at Krusty's site in the past couple of days. You think Krusty will reset also?

(Granted Pataki is a much stronger candidate than the "Good Doctor" - but it was a quick "upsurge" none the less)

It is shockingly dishonest to take a name out of the polls. Period. Let alone the leader! Your main comments suggested that this was only due to some "local" effort by an Iowan group, but I know for a fact that the votes were coming from all over the nation, hence the true fact that Dr. Klein has a much, much broader support base than you might have expected, and could actually take the White House, given two dozen million noncustodial parents, and all of their family and friend supporters, too, not even mentioning the victimized, but now voting, young children of divorce, themselves. One would think if you wanted a halfway "reliable" barometer, you certainly wouldn't change the game in the middle. How "Democratic" of you...

"It's the Family Stupid"

Children Need Both Parents and fatherless children constitute the majority of our current and future societal problems.

Ted Sporer is not our enemy and neither is the Republican Party. The Democratic Party in league with NOW, the Trial Lawyers, and those that profit from the divorce industry are the enemy. They have willingly sacrificed children on the alter of campaign contributions and scandals like the latest Democratic Polk County fiasco that lines the pockets of Democratic operatives instead of helping inner city “fatherless” children.

Children Need Both Parents and Chairman Sporer is a friend. Do not shoot the messenger! Educate the messenger and build a movement that everyone can see, hear and feel. That means building a Political Voting Bloc that gets the attention of politicians eager for the money and support.

Ted just doesn’t believe Dr. Klein is a viable candidate. It is up to us to demostrate otherwise. Anyone that stupidly attacks Ted on this issue is harming our chances for success with one of the most fair and influential members of the Republican Party in Iowa.

Anonymous said...

I think this raises an interesting subject for republicans. What are Democrats doing to help with the 70% out of wedlock birthrate amongst the black community. That same community is held hostage and taken for granted by the Democrat party.

The children growing up without fathers in their lives is devastating to our social fabric and is the main reason for the poverty the democrats keep touting as so necessary to fix.

Yet, they promote abortion, they promote the idea that women don't need men for anything other than to donate sperm, and as Ted said, be an ATM.

What are the democrats doing to help?

I've long said that the only right divorced fathers have is the right to write the check. My own decided he didn't even want that right. Time and emotional/spiritual/physical support is much more important than financial support in the long run.

Also, is your 1 to 11 scale of conservatism a reference to Spinal Tap?

So if ultra-conservative is 10, then someone like stuckonbrilliant (a frequent Krusty poster, Steve Erickson), would be an 11? Because he's "one more conservative".

How about that Frankie Valli classic "Sherry" in honor of Republican CIETC Treasurer Sherry Howard who just forgot checks and expense vouchers needed to be filled in with amounts and names before she rubber stamped them (imagine Archie Brooks singing this one): "Sherry Baby, Sherry baby, Sherry can you come out tonight. (Why don't you come out) Move it nice and easy; Girl, you make me lose my mind." Or the Four Tops with "Sugar Pie" for paid Republican CIETC consultant Deb Dessert: "Sugar pie honey bunch, you know that I love you; I can't help myself, I want you and nobody else; when you snap your finger or wink your eye, I come running to you; I'm tied to your apron strings and there's nothing I can do." And finally, how about Guttermouth's classic "Hypocrite" for all of you Polk County Republicans lapping up the sad slime that is CIETC while supporting a president who has slaughtered thousands in an illegal war for the sake of a family blood feud, turned the Constitution and the linchpin notion of separation of powers on it's head with a destructive and fringe concept like the unitary executive; and gutted the core of true libery--the principle of privacy--in so many ways that there isn't time to list them all.

Dr. Mark Klein out of context notwithstanding, we in the Children Need Both Parents movement have no intention of voting for any candidate that refuses to address our issue. We have a significant percentage of the voter population and we are finally forming as an entity. I've noticed the straw poll minus our input has only a few interested voters.

That should be a big clue as to how active we are now becoming. This movement is not about Dr. Klein. He has our support because he put his money where his mouth is. He is rough around the edges but the issue regarding Children Need Both Parents is not.

And for anyone that does not realize that, "It's the Family Stupid" does mean more than the war. Why do people fight? They do it for God, Family, and Country. I personally felt very conflicted fighting for a country that gave me the Bronze Star and yet gives me only 96 hrs a month with my child while daycare (that I must pay for) gets 192 hrs.

Lesson here - we are not voting for any Republican (Dems are already out of the question) that ignores us.

My usual policy is to ignore anonymous personal attacks-they do say far more about the attacker than the victim.

Dr. Klein, I thank you for your kind words. This was not a personal attack, or intended to be a slight. Two United States Senators, Chuck Hagel and Lindsey Graham also dropped off the poll.

I do want to make this clear, this is not the "Polk County Poll" or any official website or function of the Republican Party of Iowa or the PCRP. This blog is my personal editorial page. Anyone who has had anything to do with our party knows that we have a very big tent in Polk County.

Rest assured, Dr. Klein, you are welcome to attend our events, speak at our meetings etc... I hope you will attend GOPfest '06 on September 23, purchase a table and let us know your position on immigration (attendance is typically several hundred to a thousand) and it is wonderful opportunity to reach a large number of crucial Republican activists.

In any event, a post would have to be pretty vile for me to remove it. The slur on my wife, while bespeaking a small mind and a cowardly disposition, does not rise to the level of censorship.

I look forward to seeing Dr. Klein in September.

Ironically, tomorrow I will starting a custody trial representing a very disregarded father with an ex-wife who is trying to drive him out of their son's life. Go figure.

Did you know that the Democratic Party is doing a Push Poll right now in Black Hawk County and one of the questions asked voters is "What is your opinion of the organization IowaFathers.com?"

IowaFathers.com and Children Need Both Parents are doing many things right and I do not care if you are Democrat or Republican, we must stand together. I'm voting for Jim Nussle for Governor because I feel he is the best candidate to address our issues having walked in our shoes.

And for the record, I'm a registered Democrat.

Let me tell you something about Chet Culver...He could care less about the Iowa economy. Chet only cares about how to impose new taxes on companies like the new bi-annual report that he requires to be filed for $45.00. All it requests your company name and corporation number, has you print it out, and mail back to his office (with a check of course). Funny thing is...not all companies are corporations...but what does Chet care because he is robbing companies of with this illegal tax. It wont be long and they will require ALL UNIONS to file the same report!!!

Sounds like a violation of the Federal Paperwork Reduction Act!!!

JoEllen I am happy to serve in Iraq and I am ever thankful for your support. As to those in my movement that have lashed out, they do not know the support you and your husband have previously given and I apologize on their behalf.

I believe this poll helped scratch the surface of a huge political movement that should be a wake up call to Republicans. It is a huge issue to take fathers out of the lives of their children as a matter of public policy. Dr. Klein has a lot of support and enough that in the upcoming Iowa Caucus season he will be noticed.

I will be back in Iowa in on September 8th and stay until the Hawkeyes meet their doom to my Iowa State Cyclones and once again ruin their chance for a national championship. Maybe anyway……..

Dear Ted,

Someone was kind enough to email me a copy of your recent blog entry about your removal of Dr Klein from the presidential preference poll.

I’m going to copy and paste your words here so I can have another good laugh while writing my response to it.


Some of you may have noticed a recent upsurge in support for Dr. Mark Klein on the presidential preference poll. It turns out that the Klein votes weren’t a crank Democrat attempt to squirrel the poll but a reflection of a small groundswell of support for that candidate’s position on the importance of fathers in the lives of our children. The Iowa based “Children Need Both Parents” group found the Real Sporer and expressed their support for Dr. Klein.

Perhaps this otherwise anomalous voting pattern points to an overlooked issue in our conservative “family first” message.

If viewed from the prism of our first in the nation status we felt that resetting the poll would prevent national figures from trivializing the issue of fathers as a statistical quirk of a local blog poll.

Well to paraphrase a line from Blazing Saddles; Sporer you use your tongue prettier then a twenty dollar whore. No easy feat, considering you are talking out your ass.

In a country that has The Terminator as it’s California governor and Jesse “The Body” Ventura winning that seat in Minnesota; who the hell are you to say that “Dr. Klein has no chance of securing our nomination.”

“In a society that is altogether too atomized we need to ensure that fathers are more than ATMs in broken and blended families.”

Wow. Great sound bite there Teddy. But how exactly are you going to help ensure that father’s are more then ATM’s-- by removing the only potential presidential candidate who gives a damn about us (non –custodial dads) from your list?

Maybe some Republican candidates will start talking about the very real non financial problems faced by broken and blended families?

Umm earth to Ted-- a republican candidate IS talking about the very real non financial problems faced by broken and blended families. His name is Dr Mark Klein and some jackass just removed him from his presidential preference poll!

“But these Iowa political polls get watched in Washington.”

They do? So then you’re saying the powers in DC are ok with you rigging the Iowa poll??? Wow that’s a pretty powerful insinuation you just unwittingly made there Ted.

“If viewed from the prism of our first in the nation status we felt that resetting the poll would prevent national figures from trivializing the issue of fathers as a statistical quirk of a local blog poll.”

Oh yeah Ted, this way is indeed much better. Now everyone will know that you are indeed first in the nation…. at rigging polls that is!

The only thing more pathetic then your removal of Dr Klein from your poll is this half assed attempt to pacify the millions of non-custodial parents you are screwing-- by acting as though you are doing this to help us. Or as you put it to “prevent national figures from trivializing the issue of fathers.”

When it is in fact you Ted who are attempting to trivialize the issue of fathers by not allowing our voices to be heard in the form of votes for Dr Klein.

"The Democrat approach has been to focus on child support collection as the only contribution that Dads make-but where is our answer?"

Good point but apparently;
The Ted Sporer approach is to simply run from the question.

Sincerely yours,
Joe Carruba (AKA; one of the ATM’s you just robbed)

P.S I’ll be posting this all over the internet on my blog. That way other non custodials can tell you where to go park your prism.

I may be a Ted Sporer apologist but also know him very well. I don't agree with his decision to remove Dr. Klein's poll but I can assure our entire movement that Ted is on our side. I know we have many angry people here but please understand this is one decision in a vacuum and Ted is not our enemy.

I founded Children Need Both Parents. Who do you think my lawyer is and who do you think defends us when threatened? Who has spend DAYS telling me how to handle this or that problem without ever asking for a dime?

The answer is Ted Sporer. He is my hero in many ways. Please remember he is one of the good guys and there are real enemies out there.

www.iowafathers.com has "witchy" actively blogging for our destruction and threatening further legal action against my membership as a Reserve Officer. She's a litte over the top but only a few nudges past Raku Basu on the fringe.

We need to save our ammo for the real enemies and not brand Ted as one. Dr. Klein is not happy with Ted but he acknowledged that Ted is not an enemy. Furthermore, Ted reached out and welcomed Dr. Klein to Iowa in September.

Ted has proven himself over and over and one issue should not label him as anti-father. Please, for the sake of our movement, please understand he is our friend and invaluable in so many ways. We risk total marginalization if we attack our friends.

I believe we must galvanize our support behind Dr. Klein and build a political movement that endures and speaks the language politicans speak in - money, votes, letters, rallies, support, and influence. We throw a few bad judges out in the process and get some legislation forcing judges to track their decisions thus showing absolute gender bias since they refuse to award Joint Physical Care.

Those are worthy goals but going after our friends is not helpful. Ted is not our enemy.

I think Ted is right on. I think Dr. Klein is only running for president to get the free publicity for a single issue - that being fathers rights.

He has to know that he can't win the presidency during wartime by firing up the nation on this single - albeit important nonetheless - issue.

Furthermore, beating up our own soldiers makes it easier for the real enemies of families - democrats - more likely to win.

Not a good tactic for this group all the way around. They need Ted to be on their side in Polk County. Trying to beat him up will only doom you to the nutbag heap and you'll get no hearing on your issue at all in Polk County Iowa.

I am a father long before I am a Republican and I bet divorced dads represent an easy 20% of the country. Any Republican that forsakes fathers as a parent is a fool.

Think I won't build a movement that splits from the party? Try me. Either we do this in the Republican Party or we watch Republicans lose minus our votes so they take us seriously next time.

We got over 200 votes for the good doctor in 24 hrs. Post the poll again and I bet we get 1000+. 25% of our movement is female from the 2nd wives club, adult children, and female relatives affected by mother only custody.

Those were real votes as the poll recognizes IP addresses to prevent multiple voting. Also, no other blog written on this site is likely to ever cause as much controversy.

I rest my case.
