Hatch ready to lead, fix Iowa

Election Day is coming. Iowa's choice for governor is easy.

I watched the Iowa Public Television Terry Branstad-Jack Hatch debate. I was struck by the physical difference in the two. Hatch was focused, energetic and engaged. He had an answer or suggestions for Congressional debate on all the issues brought up. He is ready to lead and fix Iowa.

Branstad looked tired, head shaking, distracted and too old. Sometimes he was clueless, especially when asked what was in the laws he proudly said he signed. He was only focused when blaming Chet Culver or partisan politicos regarding his rampant cronyism, scandals and doing a hard 90 on Iowa's highways.

When asked about fixing Iowa's dangerously deteriorated roads/bridges/buildings his answer was 'next year.” He proudly stated he had cut income taxes only it was the top rate. He reneged on his promise to repeal the 'temporary” sales tax rate increase. That hurt the low-income Iowans who he wants 'to protect from a gas tax hike.” He passed Obamacare because he was cornered. He says Iowa's economy is doing great.

Vote Hatch for governor.
