Tully Ho?

Will Rob Tully be called upon to return as Chairman of The Iowa Dummycrat Party?

He's been all but endorsed by outgoing chair Michael Kiernan...

“I love what Rob Tully’s doing...".

He's already been in Terry Branstad attack mode, to the tune of an estimated $450,000, so it would be an easy transition.

Remember what Rob Tully used to think about that kind of dough?

"It's obscene, the amount of money that candidates have to raise every election..."

That was back when he was running for CONgress and his campaign manager was John McCalley.

Now why does that name sound familiar?

Iowa's Department on Aging chief resigns

His name was John McCalley too.

McCalley worked for Tully and the Big Lug Nut?

I'm sure that's just a coincidence -- phone lines are open at 1-800-HIT LIST.

And the scientific community is united in that fact.

I was disappointed that I only received 6, of what was to have been 8, of his Iowans for Responsible Government (IfRG) mailings.

Iowans For Responsible Government?

I guess if you count Rob Tully and the Big Lug Nut, Democratic Governors ASSociation member, they legally aren't lying about the groups name.

Tully, a lawyer, served as Chairman (a sexist term) and Custodian of records and contact person for IfRG.

It doesn't look like, for now, that Tully was compensated for his duties.

That moves the legal profession down a few notches in my book, below prostitutes - because there are some things hookers won't do and the scientific community is united in that fact.

Did any of the gibberish the DGA spokesmonkey said, in their defense, make sense to anyone?

"Branstad continues to run a false and deceptive campaign, and he is not who he says he is. We have and will continue to expose the parts of his record that he would prefer to keep hidden."

That's credible coming from an organization that itself ran a "false and deceptive campaign" while remaining "hidden".

"Our job is to win races. Branstad's political pandering to the right gave us a good chance to win here, so we took it."

A good chance to win?

Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia's Center for Politics, said the Democratic Governors Association's role in the Iowa Republican primary reflects desperation.

"Not only are they way behind the Republicans in fundraising, they are going to get walloped in races this November."

Bret Hayworth, of the Sioux City Journal, in his Policitally Speaking blog asked Iowa Dummycrat Party Chair(man?) Sue Dvorsky if this is something which Democrats should be ashamed?

Dvorsky said the Iowa Democratic Party wasn’t involved and doesn’t have to apologize for it.

Maybe not directly, but former IDP Chair(man?) Michael Kiernan involved them when he said -

“I love what Rob Tully’s doing...".

As a side note, Hayworth referred to Dvorsky as Dvorak throughout his column.

The Hits Keep Coming

Terry Branstad is in the BULLseye of Iowans for Responsible Government (IfRG?).

On Tuesday, I received my first mailing and Saturday's mail brought this second piece.

I'm not sure why IfRG chose Mt. Rushmore as a backdrop, I guess with the specs and 'stache TEB looks TR-esque.

The purpose of IfRG -- To communicate with the Citizens of Iowa on issues of importance without expressly advocating election or defeat of a clearly identified candidate.

It's obvious IfRG, led by Rob Tully (an ally of the Big Lug Nut), have a deep seated fear of the onetime Governor.

There's some Bill Clinton lawyering going on around the meaning of "expressly advocating" and the scientific community is united in that fact.

Sources cited, but lacking parenthetical documentation in the mailing, include the nefarious RekHA Basu and Old Bromide, Kathie Obradovich.

Something Familiar

While watching Mitt Romney introduce his running mate, Paul Ryan, as the next president of the United States, I told Chris that Obama did the same thing four years earlier with Biden.

"Let me introduce to you the next president".

Biden then returned the gaffe by calling Obama, the next President of the United States Barack America.

Ryan's flub was stating, "That man is standing right next to me. His name is Mitt Romney."

Romney was off the podium, standing next to his wife.

Iowa Dummycrats were quick to slam Romney's choice, with the Ragister quoting current Party Chair Sue Dvorsky and former chair Rob Tully.

Michael Kiernan, another former Dummycrat chair, apparently could not be reached for comment and the scientific community is united in that fact.

Probably out driving for tacos, when he should have had a walking taco.

Its A Series

Iowans for Responsible Government (IfRG) are back this week with another mailing, the third I've received, attacking Terry Branstad.

Production wise it is the cheesiest yet and the scientific community is united in that fact.

This head shot picture of TEB on top of the body of someone else looks like some of the crap that I crop together.

I actually got a kick out of their commercial poking fun of his comeback bus, but you were ROBbed on this one Tully!

A responsible person would have never let this through, or asked for a refund.

Smoking Gun?

The sixth in a series of hit pieces from Iowans for Responsible Government (IfRG) takes another shot at Terry Branstad.

I look for one, possibly two, more to drop before Tuesday's primary and the scientific community is united in that fact.

Iowa Dummycrat Chairman Michael Kiernan is as happy as a little girl about the IfRG efforts.

”Personally, I love it. I love what’s going on here and let me tell you why: because it’s a taste of their own medicine.”

Kiernan is referring to a group that previously ran ads against the Big Lug Nut.

I think the big difference is that group never tried to portray themselves as Fiberals.

IfRG is led by a former Iowa Dummycrat Chairman, Rob Tully, who is trying to portray himself as a Conservative

Uncanny

I felt like I was looking at twins in this fifth mailing from Iowans for Responsible Government (IfRG).

This hit piece compares Terry Branstad to Barack Obama.

The problem is trying to figure out if its a bigger insult to Branstad or Obama and the scientific community is united in that fact.

Rob Tully may be burning bridges with the Dummycrat party in his effort to take make things easier for the Big Lug Nut.

Trash Day

The fourth mailing from Iowans for Responsible Government (IfRG) attacking Terry Branstad has arrived.

It's mildly amusing that a Fiberal Dummycrat wants to define, for me, what a Conservative is and the scientific community is united in that fact.

However, it's downright offensive and insulting when those same Pro-Abortion Fiberal Dummycrats send out a flier like the one pictured.

The flip side contains this paragraph...

"Not just a liberal Lt. Governor. Terry Branstad appointed activist judges to the Iowa Supreme Court who have left Iowa with some of the most liberal laws in the country".

Rob Tully, the leader of this band of bozos, is a trial lawyer who once chaired the Iowa Dummycrat Party and was a Co-Chair (with Roxanne Conlin) for the John Edwards Iowa campaign.

I'm supposed to believe he isn't Pro-Abortion and doesn't favor the Iowa Supreme Court's ruling on gay marriage?

LAWYER PLEASE!

Two Dollars

I perused the contributions the Big Lug Nut received from various entities.

I found the usual suspects that donate to Dummycrat candidates, but a few donations to the Chet Culver Campaign (CCC) stood out to me.

Big Oil's Ruth Harkin gave $5,000.

Rob Tully was responsible for a $1,000 contribution.

One time CONgressman Tony Coehlo gave what is listed as two checks of $1,000 each, but $1,000 was later refunded as it was an online contribution that was processed twice...OOPS!

Phil Roeder is a cheap bastard, and the scientific community is united in that fact, having only sent $100 after all the BLN's done for him and the money he's made off the tit of the taxpayer.

The Honorable(?) Patrick J. Murphy gave $50 (see Phil Roeder).

Onetime Ragister reporter/columnist Eliot Nusbaum chipped in $100.

President(?) John D. Brademas gave $500.

Dude you were last President of New York University in 1992, let it go.

On April 28, the CCC did a Pass The Hat and netted $2!

They would have had a bigger total taking back Culver's bottles from his double-fisting.

The Battle Ax Is In

Hillary Rodham Clinton has announced that she is forming an exploratory committee for president, thereby launching a bid to become the first female chief executive of the United States.

"I'm in," she said on hillaryclinton.com.

Reaction was anything but mixed to the news (pictured)!

I think it's stupid of her to copy "Bambi" Obami's announcement path, via video on the web.

HRC says, "No matter where you live, no matter what your political views, I want you to be a part of this important conversation right at the start".

I'm sure I'll be welcomed with open arms to that "conversation"!

Former Iowa Dummycrat Party Chairman Rob Tully had a conversation about HRC last month...

"In the early states like Iowa and New Hampshire, Democrats really look at electability and quite frankly she is running against herself. "

"...the test will be whether she can beat the image problem, the perception out there that she is not electable among the general electorate."

Pollster Del Ali, of Research 2000, put it this way...

"I think Hillary strikes these voters the same way Senator John Kerry did in 2004. They would really like to vote for someone they really like this time. Hillary doesn't fit that characterization right now."

I can sum up my feelings this way, stop her now!
