It would not be a reciprocal arrangement as I know Ted wants only to win and stop the liberal steamroller we just saw take the state last week.<BR/><BR/>Ted and Steve King are the only real leaders I've seen lately and one of them must step up or Iowa will remain Blue for 20 years. <BR/><BR/>The Dems are out to get Ted and the absurd and comical accusations and personal attacks reveal they know his is their strongest enemy to their future plans. I still say the anonymous fellow mocking his wife is beyond politics. Certain things, like mohammed wrote, are completely off the table and the Dems went there. <BR/><BR/>I reiterate, Ted needs to put someone in charge of clearing off absolute trash statements that don't consitute debate or discussion in civilized society. <BR/><BR/>I would even go one step further and make everyone identify themselves a user and ban users unable to conduct themselves in a decent manner.ConservativeKenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16347022470831449876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30015942.post-1163426489175902592006-11-13T08:01:00.000-06:002006-11-13T08:01:00.000-06:00Scheffler is a professional christian.

I don't think the guy even has a real job.<BR/><BR/>Let me make one thing clear though. I'm not anti-ICA. The rank-and-file of the ICA tend to volunteer on campaigns from time to time so in that sense it is a better organization than RPI. What I have a problem with is guys like Scheffler who, if you talk to some ICA people, has become akin to a messiah. He's not.

Steve's support would carry weight and not be a bad thing for someone to have. There are many that don't like Steve. I am still neutral on this issue but he has been in many fights for Republicans and show me the man that does not have a personal agenda? Everyone does so we build coalitions to get things done right?<BR/><BR/>I don't know what is going on here but since Steve is not under indictment (look at the scandals of the Democrats) I think I would talk to him before Archie for an endorsement if I needed one. I am sure Ted is his own man as one does not become a highly successful attorney without a few brains. The only person that has any real influence is Jo Ellen and the low life that posted such negative filth should be glad honor dueling is from a bygone age. I can't believe anyone intelligent enough to post on this website resorted to such an attack. Then again, the Dems are the kings of such tactics.

He has screwed over too many conservative campaigns in this state to allow anyone he supports to become Republican state chair. <BR/><BR/>Scheffler does not care one iota about advancing conservatism (I doubt the guy has even read Bastiat or Hayek) and instead is more concerned about solidifying his own stature in the Republican Party.<BR/><BR/>Ted is making a HUGE mistake in associating with him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30015942.post-1163393476405384802006-11-12T22:51:00.000-06:002006-11-12T22:51:00.000-06:00It is crazy to allow these types of personal attac...It is crazy to allow these types of personal attacks on a blog and I ask Ted to remove sexual references and innappropriate attacks from it immediately.<BR/><BR/>On my favorite blog, www.iowafathers.com we had radical feminists leaving atrocious information and we discovered we needed to block and ban such bloggers or become irrelevant. Things are a lot better without such rude people so we can maintain a dignified conversation.<BR/><BR/>For the record, I would never believe Sheffler controls ted since only his wife has that role and rightfully so. Anyone that would attack his wife in such a manner better remain anonymous as nobody respects a man resorting to such behavior. In fact, I have more respect for John Kerry! And John Kerry will not be visiting the troops in Iraq anytime soon given his popularity on that front.<BR/><BR/>Bottom line, Ted it is time to exercise some control and keep out those that would shout "fire" in a crowded theater.ConservativeKenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16347022470831449876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30015942.post-1163391184298522392006-11-12T22:13:00.000-06:002006-11-12T22:13:00.000-06:00Ted:If it's true that you have Scheffler behind yo...Ted:<BR/><BR/>If it's true that you have Scheffler behind you, then you lost my vote for state chair. <BR/><BR/>If Sporer becomes Chair and Scheffler is controlling Ted, then the conservatism is in real trouble.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30015942.post-1163390738458626502006-11-12T22:05:00.000-06:002006-11-12T22:05:00.000-06:00So ted, how much did you have to pay Shefler to en...So ted, how much did you have to pay Shefler to endorse you for state chair?
