How's that whole impeachy resigny thing working out, Bob?
Edited on Wed Jan-12-11 02:30 PM by 47of74
Bob Vander Platts is going to each of Iowa's 99 counties trying to drum up support for his cause. Only five supporters and one Vander Platts opponent showed up for the first meeeting;

Vander Plaats asked the six who gathered for the breakfast meeting in southwestern Iowa whether they were thrilled to see the three justices voted out. Five of the six raised their hands. The one who didn’t was Trudy Ball, a retired social worker from Leon who is active in the local Democratic party. She objected to Vander Plaats’ use of the phrase “the truth” when talking about same-sex marriage, because Ball believes people can have very different understandings of “the truth.”

One Vander Plaats supporter, retired farmer Charles Warren of Leon, questioned why more people didn’t come to the meeting. Did this show a lack of enthusiasm among conservatives in fighting same-sex marriage?, Warren wondered. Vander Plaats laughed. On a snowy day in January, when the local school district had a two-hour delay, Vander Plaats thought it was a good turnout for their first of 99 events.


As the Iowa Democratic Party asked Bob on their Facebook page, "How's that whole impeachy resigny thing working out for ya?"

1. So if it's a beautiful Spring day he'll have better turnout?
Maybe a little. Heck the crowd may even be doubled.

2. Vander Plaats needs all weather transporter beam in Clarinda
VANDER PLAATS VISITS CLARINDA

(Clarinda) -- The Family Leader’s new president and CEO, Bob Vander Plaats, hosted an event at J's Pizza and Steakhouse last night. Organizers say the snowy weather conditions keep the crowd from "fully materializing" last night.

“Conservative Iowans united and sent a clear message to our leaders when given the opportunity at the ballot box last November,” Vander Plaats said. “Now we’re giving conservatives in every county an opportunity to further voice their concerns, share their ideas and gain a vision for building on that election momentum and taking even more ground for the conservative, pro-family issues in Iowa.”
