Need some help outing a "family values" Repuke candidate
Advertisements [?]
who as with most family values repukes doesn't follow his own advice.
Jim Nussle is running for governor of Iowa. He is most famous in DU circles as the chairman of the House budget committee and the architect of the Bushco budgets that have run us trillions in debt.
Nussle was married with two children, one a special needs child (Downs Syndrome) and a first year congressman when he started running around on his wife. He eventually married a woman who had been Newt's secretary and then a lobbyist for Pharma.
(from Nussle & Flow)http://nusslewatch.blogspot.com/2005/06/jim-nussle-has-been-bad-for-his.html

Then there is the issue of his private life. The precise details are sketchy, but he was pulled into an extra-marital affair, leading to a messy public divorce, with his subsequent remarriage to wife #2, Karen Chiccehitto Nussle. The common scuttlebutt is that Karen was the other women, and if she is (as it seems she is) then let's call her what she really is: a homewrecking slut: strike one. Karen was also a policy advisor to Newt Gingrich: strike two. She then revolving-doored into the lobbying firm of Black, Kelly, Scruggs and Healey (that's as in Charles Black, the infamous Republican insider): strike three. She is currently listed as an instructor at the University of Dubuque (teaching Homewrecking 101 no doubt).

Here is the point. Absolutely no press in Iowa is saying one word about this. We have written LTTEs til we are blue in the face. Nuslle keeps talking about his family and faith. Truth is he pretty much abandoned his family.
Our last hope is to bombard their open anonymous line called "your 2 cents worth". Here is the message I left:

"Why won’t the Register tell the story of how Jim Nussle ran around on his wife in a sordid affair, and then dumped his family to marry a Washington lobbyist. This ain’t the kind of man anyone wants to lead them."
Just say you are an outraged viter of some such crap.
Here is the number:
515-284-8244
Thanks
