Wow..that's really funny..because that's a PERFECT description of Peter Teahen.<BR/><BR/>Every time I have heard the man speak..he spends at least 10 minutes talking about how he was at this disaster...and this castrophe..and how he lead relief efforts here..and there..<BR/><BR/>Miller-Meeks understands statesmanship.. Statesmanship means stepping up to create SOLUTIONS to problems.. It means being a LEADER..even when taking a position may be unpopular within your own party.<BR/><BR/>We need more people like Miller-Meeks who understand that public service ISN'T about creating a "springboard" to some higher office or aspiration. Its about serving our country.<BR/><BR/>Miller-Meeks is the only candidate who has always answered the call of our country to serve.<BR/><BR/>Let's face facts though John.. In order to LEAD...you must WIN first...and in order to win..you must work hard, raise money..and yes..ACT like you want it more than the other person.Peace Through Strengthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11471383527861410698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512632028071754450.post-38074651946605257512008-05-24T08:20:00.000-05:002008-05-24T08:20:00.000-05:00Oh how the mighty have fallen!The Republican Party...Oh how the mighty have fallen!<BR/><BR/>The Republican Party used to be the party of ideas, and a positive vision for the future of the country. <BR/><BR/>Now we pick our winners based on “who wants it more?!” Since when does wanting to be a Member of Congress qualify anyone to actually become one? There plenty of self serving egomaniacs already serving in Congress – are we really looking for another one?<BR/><BR/>The ability to raise money makes one a good Member of Congress? How? So that we can regain the majority and replace selfish liberals with spineless Republicans in the committee chairs?<BR/><BR/>Does either of these candidates understand the historical role of Congress? Can either one give a definition of statesmanship, or name a Member of Congress who was one?<BR/><BR/>If the only good things we have to say about our candidates is that they can raise some money and that they want the job, we are worse off than I though.Conservative In Exilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04717379181271117063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512632028071754450.post-24939375402419119572008-05-23T18:34:00.000-05:002008-05-23T18:34:00.000-05:00So what is the law? 45, 60 or 90 days.Would the d...So what is the law? 45, 60 or 90 days.<BR/><BR/>Would the dems be stupid enough to not know the law, not count the days?

The complaint, by Republican rival Brian Kennedy, was that TV ads for The Iowa Machine Shed constituted illegal corporate contributions to Whalen’s campaign. The case was dismissed by the FEC as unfounded. Teahen denies any wrongdoing here, too.<BR/><BR/>What’s interesting locally is that Davenport’s Victory Enterprises, Inc., was the campaign consultant in both cases. That will surely get some insider tongues wagging.<BR/><BR/>Brian Dumas, who’s consulting for Teahen, said today that Victory wasn’t involved in the funeral home ad.<BR/><BR/>“Peter and I have never once discussed the advertising he does for his funeral home,” Dumas said.<BR/><BR/>He adds Victory, of which he’s president, hasn’t had anything to do with adverising for the Cedar Rapids funeral home, either.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Funny. Isn't that denial strikinging similar to the one he gave the QC Times on the Whalen campaign only to later retract that denial with a full confession?<BR/><BR/>Krusty, Peace Through Strength, Yoda: What say you?The Baronesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13111792414969616279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512632028071754450.post-66993925792973344912008-05-23T15:32:00.000-05:002008-05-23T15:32:00.000-05:00We certianly have a dilly of a pickle here.Now I d...We certianly have a dilly of a pickle here.<BR/><BR/>Now I don't want to stand in judgment of another one of God's children, but in times like these Peter, I always ask myself WWJD?Ned Flandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02452392111671775424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512632028071754450.post-48998528222181265982008-05-23T12:40:00.000-05:002008-05-23T12:40:00.000-05:00One candidate waved the flag and the other defende...One candidate waved the flag and the other defended it.<BR/><BR/>I like it!The Baronesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13111792414969616279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512632028071754450.post-64091855466809934182008-05-23T12:18:00.000-05:002008-05-23T12:18:00.000-05:00Why would they be so dumb, Baroness??

WTF?<BR/><BR/>He's been out-fundraised, out-hustled, and out-worked by someone he tried dismissing as "not being effective" because she was from Ottumwa.Peace Through Strengthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11471383527861410698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512632028071754450.post-46479560561328617752008-05-23T11:30:00.000-05:002008-05-23T11:30:00.000-05:00One candidate waved the flag, the other defended i...One candidate waved the flag, the other defended it.Yodahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10003913512314585922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512632028071754450.post-59378180214808005332008-05-23T11:19:00.000-05:002008-05-23T11:19:00.000-05:00The QC Times here broke the story of victory enter...The QC Times here broke the story of victory enterprises' role in Whalen's Machine Shed tv ads and there was a flat denial by a guy that worked for victory that they had anything to do with it. Then the same guy at victory changed his story a few weeks later that he had in fact wrote and produced them after pressure from the QC Times. The story really hurt our eventual nominee and I think its a big part of why he failed against Braley.<BR/><BR/>Whatever happened to that FEC complaint?<BR/><BR/>Why in the world would they be so dumb as to let a candidate of thiers make the same mistake?
