Caucus Concert

I think the reaction to the idea of a celebration of the Iowa Caucuses was just a little harsh.

Because you read "like" or "such as" Britney Spears doesn't mean that bimbo is who they're after to appear.

Unfortunately, that's how too many people talk today.

David Yepsen went a little off the deep end when he said it would, "denigrate and cheapen what should be the serious business of selecting candidates for the American presidency."

I like David, even when we disagree, but I've attended caucuses since 1988 and they're not as pristine as people believe.

A majority of those in attendance are there to support a candidate for President and leave when that portion of the evening is completed.

Most people don't know they're held every two years with the purpose of conducting party business, such as platform issues and county convention delegates, at a local level.

They've been carried live on C-Span for crying out loud, for the most part it's boring!

The Ragister's Kyle Munson was against it.

Which means if that no talent is against it, on principle I have to be for it. Just like if he's for something I'm against it....similar to my stand on Ragister issues.

These are the same people who complain constantly about how boring Iowa is and how we need to get more young people involved in the political process.

I think MTV's "Rock the Vote" and P-Dummy with his "Vote or Die" T-shirt/campaign are what really cheapens and denigrates the entire political process.

If they can make this concert along the lines of the Kennedy Center Honors, then it would be classy and entertaining.

I do think it would be silly to follow too many of Terry Rich's ideas, he told WHO-TV/Channel 13
that they would have the Dummycrat candidates in the front row on one side and Republicans in the front on the other side as a way of thanking them for running....That's Hokey!

The best part is it wouldn't cost Iowans anything.

You can't say that about a lot of what gets proposed in this state.
