Iowa Senate Republicans put a thumb in the eye of the just say no lie.



Earlier today Iowa Senate Republicans, under the leadership of Senator Paul McKinley (R-SD36) presented the Republican pro-job and pro-growth economic alternative to the tax and union payoff anti-jobs Labor/Socialist/Democrat agenda.

The plan outline is available through the Senate Republican website, linked
here so we don’t need to repeat the entire text. Upon examination it is clear that the Republican alternative is based on the adaptation of proven free market principles adapted to the unique needs of 21st Century Iowa.

The L/S/D alternative is, of course, more unions, higher union wages, less work from unions and mandatory membership in unions. The L/S/D leadership does not even really hide its commitment to the labor agenda. After all, they are the “labor”/socialist/Democrats.

With the publication of today's plan, the Senate Republicans have joined our Iowa House caucus and have presented a very clear bright line alternative to the labor oligarchy and socialist nanny state the Gronstal/Murphy/McCarthy troika is imposing on Iowa. Ever since it became apparent that the L/S/D agenda was wildly off the left edge of reality and so ridiculous that it couldn’t stand on its own, Democrats quickly returned to the tactics of their minority days: lie about us to distort the public’s perception of reality. The Democrat one note has been to label us the “party of no”, lacking solutions to the problems of real Iowans notwithstanding the existence of a very clear conservative alternative to the socialist nanny state envisioned by the radical L/S/D leadership.

Republicans on both sides of the Golden Dome have provided very clear alternatives, which utterly belies the canard that we are the party without solutions. Now our challenge is to shift the conversation to the party of freedom and prosperity.

Yes, actually we can.
