U.S. Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, said Wednesday that his party is not governing effectively, which he fears will lead to losses at the ballot box next year.

"A lot of people want to say Republicans are having problems because of stands we take on specific issues. I've seen polls where that's not the reason. The reason is we're not governing," he said in a conference call with reporters.

Grassley said he doubts the problems are bad enough for Republicans to lose control of the Senate next year, but he didn't comment about the possibility of losing control of the House.

Is the writing on the wall becoming clear to elected Republicans. I like that Grassley is effectively saying that Congressman Jim Nussle (Rep candidate for Governor and current Chair of the House Budget Committee) is not getting the job done. I can see this article being used by the Democrats in Iowa next fall.

4. I "borrowed" it from a website

A couple of years ago. I think the site is book marked in my home computer. I will see if its still there and let you know when I get home. Otherwise feel free to borrow it from me.

5. Maybe we should sign up to their mailing lists

and then start spreading contradicting dissent around . . . confuse the masses . . . help the infighting . . .
