We here at the Real Sporer had our eye on Democrats yesterday. One of our undercover Real War Correspondents secretly drop in on the Gov. Chet “the Big Lug” Culver as he took his dog and pony show to Council Bluffs. Our very own Don’t Run With Scissors filed the following short report of Gov. Lug’s trip to the Missouri yesterday.
Culver moved the Capital for a Day to the Western Historic Trails Center in Pottawattamie County We had to endure lame jokes from Mike Gronstal (I realize this is redundant because he is a joke). A crowd of about 100 people, including well known democrats from Mills and Pottawattamie Counties waited and waited and waited for Culver to arrive. At about 2 PM (an hour after the scheduled start time) Kevin Concannon, Director of Health and Human Services delivered a short speech to fill time and then Matthew Schultz, Council Bluffs City Councilman, introduced Culver. The honor fell to Matthew as Mayor Tom Hanafan is out of town. Culver read an official proclamation declaring the Capital had been moved to Council Bluffs for one day.

He then proceeded to read his opening remarks. I can't believe he had to read things like "It is so nice to be here this afternoon". The theme for the day was "Promises Made -- Promises Kept" and I had some good questions ready for Culver since he made a point of billing the afternoon as getting to know what the people want and to answer their questions. To my dismay he didn't take questions from the floor...you had to fill out a special form with name, address, phone etc and write your question or concern on it and hold it in your hand and stand in line and wait. Of course there was limited time since Culver was so late arriving. So my questions went unanswered.
Good try, Don't Run. We need to have questions ready every time the Dems come near-questions for which I feel they won't have an answer. Never known to be quick on his feet, the Big Lug and a few of the lug nuts were not in Council Bluffs to learn what people want, that’s why the hire pollsters, but rather to tell the people what the Democrats want them to know.

I have to agree, the Big Lug’s reliance on prepared texts and shaky ability to verbally express himself is not a confidence builder for me. As I said many times before the ’06 election, in this respect Culver reminds me of another elected leader we have in this country.
Me, Too!!!! Both had successful Dads they are trying to imitate. Neither measures up.
But I think the similarities are limited beyond that. Culver seems to lack the inferiority demons that dog the alcoholic "I'm the Decider" son we are not naming here.
Mike "a mind is a terrible thing to waste" Gronstal will not be helping anybody campaign next year and will require constant visits from Culver and Democratic heavyweights to save his seat.
I still say iowafathers.com gets him knocked out with our negative adds but it does take a Republican to run against him. Is there a decent Republican ready to take out Grumpy Gronstal?
If you don't like nepotism ala Culver and Bush, you aren't a Hitlery backer are you?
rf-b. hussein obama drives a Hemi Chrysler 300?????
While I admire his taste-I think the 300s are the best looking car in the world-that isn't a very carbon offsetting vehicle.
Carbon offsets are a scam.
I'm personally not really liking the 300 as a car, but I forgive Obama for that. 300 certainly is no Prius. But accroding to the Chrysler site, its EPA mileage estimates are 17/24. Those EPA figures are always a bit better than actual mileage, but that's not too bad for a larger vehicle with a V8.

You guys couldn't get the bill passed for shared care. In fact, your group is the reason it was not passed. I heard Republican Leadership had the votes together, but it was only when you guys showed up, was the bill shelved. In fact, I heard you were warned by staff to get back or the bill would be shelved and you ignored staff and met with Gronstal anyway. Thanks alot. You do nothing for Dads and will do nothing to help Republicans take out Gronstal because you are a fringe group with no tact! It is too bad, because alot of Dads needed that bill and the votes were their according to Republican staffers. Shame on you.
republicans voted against a bill not because they thought it was a bad bill but because they didn't follow orders???
huh? who made that decision?
300 = poor man's bentley...lame and unoriginal
