REPUBLICAN ESTABLISHMENT 'STRAW POLL' STRAWN PROUD OF HIS CAUCUS DISASTER!!
Greetings, Governor Terry Branstad—
If you can find ‘Straw Poll’ Matt Strawn, Chairman of the Establishment Republican Party of Iowa and head of the caucus—please give him a huge BOO HISS for being so proud of the caucus disaster he mismanaged. The Republican Establishment’s Bewildered Jerry Behn and Unbelievable Kraig Paulsen did no better!! Please give them a huge BOO HISS as well.
Here are their pathetic quotes, from the 1-20-12 Cedar Rapids Gazette.
‘Straw Poll’ Strawn—
'proud' of the party's running of the Jan. 3 caucuses’
'Listen, I'm proud of the caucus process, and I'm proud that we had thousands of volunteers around the state that make the caucus process work,'
'I'm proud that an overwhelming majority of the counties, 99.96 percent, if I'm not mistaken, complied with the 14-day deadline to get their materials in so we could make an announcement this quickly.'
‘Bewildered’ Jerry Behn—
a 'great event for Iowa'
'a great job.'
‘Unbelievable’ Kraig Paulsen—
'It's easy to Monday morning quarterback,'
‘Anytime 120,000 people cast ballots there's going to be discrepancies and it is common for outcomes to change when the unofficial results get certified.’
To add insult to Republican Establishment injury, the Gazette also reported, “Several state Republicans came to the defense of their party.”
These establishment Republican clowns, and other establishment clowns, were loath to declare conservative Rick Santorum the winner of the Iowa Caucus, which he absolutely won by honestly and relentlessly working in the state.
One would certainly think, hope and expect that Iowans, who plagued the country with Obama, will throw out the establishment clowns and get it right next time around—if there is one.
Sincerely,
