Funny how the lefties at Iowa Independent think Branstad is a moderate. Means he’s liberal if they think moderate.

Why do the libtards think he’s a moderate. Precious really has a grip on you now.

-—Branstad’s Pro-Life, Pro-Gun, Pro-Family. Best governor the state had.

-—He implemented spending reform measures and streamlined state government from 64 departments to 25.

-—Cut $700 million out of the budget.

-—Cut income tax by 10%

-—Eliminated the inheritance tax.

-—When he left office Iowa had a $900 million surplus after tax cuts were made.

-—He voted against collective bargaining.

-—He helped the accommodation for home educating in Iowa become law (and I certainly thank him for that).

-—He implemented tax tuition credits, as well as, arrangements for books and busing agreements between public and private schools.

-—Passed the Defense of Marriage Act

He held the Governorship for 16 years until he left, was a favorite of Ronald Reagan's, and currently holds a 70% approval rating.

For the record, that's:
An Exceptional record on Life Issues,
An Exceptional record on Family/Social Issues,
An Exceptional Record on Homeschooling Issues,
An Exceptional record on Second Amendment Issues.
Real budget cuts (not just cuts in the rate of increase, REAL cuts)
Real reduction in state workers - actually CLOSED Departments.
Elimination of Inheritance tax altogether.
10% Income tax cut.
REAL record fighting public school union thugs.

I'll take Branstad’s record any day of the week.

There’s a huge poker game going on among Mitt, Huckabee, and Palin Some of these endorsements some might find questionable, but Sarah is looking at the long-term, big picture. There’s no doubt she endorsed Branstad to get a leg up in the crucial Iowa caucuses. And I don’t trust anyone that Huckabee endorses.

well I guess like Devore the “only true conservative” in the race just lost another battle.

Palin conservatives seem to be winning and leading in an awful lot of elections. the “true conservatives” of Devore strip seems to be losing in most elections.

Should have also said I got no problem with THIS endorsement. I even understand the mmcain thing. But carly fiorina just sends shivers down my back.

My take is she`s making deals with the REPUBLICRAT establishment to save her sorry POLITICIAN`S ass.

LOL get real. You're talking about a woman who took down the Republican establishment as Governor and is still an outcast now.

I crap on Huckabee and any OTHER politicians masquerading as conservatives too. Actions speak louder than words,support the Progressive Wannabe, Republicratic establishment, and don`t even claim to be a supporter of true Constitutionalist, Conservative ideals.

Not Rubio? Not Popaditch? Not Trent Franks? Not Duncan D. Hunter? Not Star Parker? Not John Hoeven?

If only Palins endorsements were as good.

Quit carrying the liberal media's water.
They posted this hit-piece to try and create a wedge between conservatives and Palin. You think they really give a damn about the Tea Party?

Got news for you. There already is a growing gap between Palin and conservartives. That’s why Demint is going to run.

She’s a RINO lover, wake up and smell the coffee. We as FReepers need to stop overreacting at the latest “star”. There were so many posts proclaiming Scott Brown as the next Ronald Reagan and who’d he meet with day 1? Juan McCain, Sarah’s best bud.

At this point, I`d Seriously have to consider voting for her for State Rep., let alone for any Federal position.

Yeah, I noticed quite a few of Precious’ diehards drooling over RINO Scott Brown there for awhile.

Those candidates are a lock to win.
Sarah's endorsing conservatives who are locked in uphill fights or who need to break away from the pack.

Rubio was no lock to win when Huck endorsed him right after DeMint did.

He'll have to get Mitt Romney's permission.
