The collection of international media at the Convention Center, the gathering of America’s political elite and the tremendous significance of the event itself is providing Iowa and Iowans with the greatest display of political theatre that we have ever seen in this state.
Even a cynic like TRS was shocked at the scene from the Convention Center. Another report coming later tonight as to the actual events at the Center tonight. However, it looks like the media is having a great time. It also seems that almost all of the press has been favorably impressed, and surprised, at the level of political information and interest that Iowans display.
So every politically active person in Iowa should stand in a circle and give each other a big pat on the back-every one of you has helped Iowa earn this incredible, historic event.
Our raison d'être here at TRS
“War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.” John Stuart Mill
We at The Real Sporer believe that the crises of our generation is the preservation of a United States of America based on fundamental rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Oddly enough, our generation, that grew in the quiet and secure 50s, 60s and 70s and thought we could escape history now find ourselves at the cross roads of history. At a time when the prevailing media, academic and even now industrial elites find the easy road of paternalistic socialist totalitarianism more expedient to travel we are convinced that only preserving the more traditional America will better provide the well known blessings of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness to us and our posterity.
In the real world, the Republican freedom agenda is the only alternative to the thought police and rations commissar of the socialist nanny state. But the agenda that we share with the founding generation, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, will never again prevail if we don't fight our generation's battle to renew America's commitment to freedom with our socialist adversaries.
Our mission statement is therefore clear: provide the information and argument that leads to a Republican Renaissance and Republican governance.

Please read this open letter from Arkansas regarding Mike Huckabee's record. It ain't pretty.
http://hughhewitt.townhall.com/blog/g/33391ddb-ed1f-4bc3-9d19-cdca6181d5d4
These are the 7 reasons why NO ONE should support Huckabee:
1) Governor Huckabee did lasting damage to the Republican Party and conservative movement in Arkansas.
2) Governor Huckabee's non-stop clemencies continually hindered the work of criminal prosecutors and miffed Republicans.
3) Governor Huckabee's pattern was to ignore immigration laws, often in the name of Christianity.
4) Governor Huckabee was no friend to fiscal conservatives in Arkansas.
5) Huckabee left a long trail of ethics questions while Governor of Arkansas
6) Huckabee's education record shows him to be an advocate of the "status quo"
7) Huckabee has very little support for his Presidential bid here in Arkansas
The worst part of the caucus, at least for those of us who live outside of Des Moines, is that the mighty culmination all takes place so far away. I'm completely, totally jealous.
I got a call from some crank in Ar. named Jim Hendriks...he was pedaling the same anti-Huck BS seen above. These are total distortions...and unprovable, either way! He did this or that becuase he felt some way....who can prove or disprove a statement like that?
Huck is looking for common ground and that's a threat to the political consultant class and others who desire for us to be polarized. I like Romney, but his Lie-machine is getting real old.
Huckabee has spend a considerable amount of time calling liar, liar on Romney over and over in interviews and in the ad he “pulled” but then showed to reporters. Where is the substance? If Huckabee didn’t pardon over 1,000 convicted criminals, as the records show, how many did he actually pardon? If he didn’t support giving scholarships to illegal immigrants why did he include it in a bill sent to the Arkansas legislature and then defended it in the recent New Hampshire debate? There is more but we wouldn’t want to look as if we are pilling it on. Huckabee can say liar, liar but at the end of the day he had better be able to back it up or he will be showing how discerning (or gullible) he really thinks Iowan voters are.

I wish I could have made the trip to Des Moines to experience it. Several members have commented on it to me this week.
