It's only for Governor, just make it up ya BIG LUG


The Quad-City Times caught Chester Culver, the man with Iowa Common Sense, making stuff up in his last debate with Jim Nussle.

In Monday night's debate, not televised in Central Iowa, Chester said that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce ranks Iowa the fifth-best business climate in the country.

David Felipe, a spokesman for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, said he doesn’t know what Culver is talking about. He said his organization doesn’t compile business-climate rankings.

“We didn’t do the study,” he said.

Taylor West, a spokeswoman for Culver, said he misspoke during the debate. She said Culver was referring to Iowa’s fourth-ranked legal liability climate, which she said is a significant piece of the business climate.

“The overall point here is that Iowa actually has a strong business climate, and that under Chet Culver, it’s going to get better....

It turns out that the U.S. Chamber’s magazine did an article this year about the business climate rankings done by another group, the Tax Foundation.

The Tax Foundation’s most recent report on business-tax climate, released last week, ranks Iowa 43rd best in the country.

43rd out of 50!

Chester's a former teacher, but couldn't do the math!!

Two things Chester, never let 'em see you sweat and lying isn't an Iowa Value.

Krusty Conservative has more.
