Branstad is predictable

Iowans got fed up with the recession, so out with Gov. Chet Culver and in comes Terry Branstad. I understand someone had to pay the price.

While I was not completely impressed with Culver, I have enough sense to deduce the cause of this recession: President George Bush, his two wars and tax cuts for the wealthy. Iowa's economy suffered similarly to the rest of the nation. Oh, and where is bin Laden, Mr. Bush?

Iowans who voted for Branstad are either ignorant and unable to use logic or are uncaring. Is Branstad not predictable? Cut money designated for programs for children, including social workers who are often the only voice for the neglected, abused and mentally damaged children. I am talking about babies testing positive for cocaine, raped and prostituted out. Yes, it is happening here in the heart of America.

Why would a man advocate so hard for his son when he was in trouble for his own actions not fight for children through no fault of their own are subjected to horrible abuse and neglect? The answer, well why don't all of you readers all write the governor and ask him?
