Branstad Part 5
I preparing for the potential threat of a strong challenge from the Terrinator, aka Braindead, I thought it is time to rebrand him from the Savior the media seems to think he is. In rebranding him I think it is necessary to attack him where he seems strongest. Doug Gross claims Branstad saved Iowa's economy once so he will do it again. Well, all you tea bagging, birthed conservatives do you remember the Terry Tax increases?

This morning I obtained the domain name www.taxhiketerry.com. In the next few months I hope to put together stats, graphs, and testimonials. I foresee t-shirts and bumperstickers. I want him to be consistently referred to as Tax Hike Terry. We can pass out fliers and bumperstickers and hold up signs at all the tea bag rallies.

It may seem a bit silly, but this type of branding worked for Governor Ritter in Colorado when he ran against "both ways Bob" Beapreaux - a nickname for his moderate stances during campaign season and far right governing.

Thoughts? Suggestions for the website?

1. What's left for him to sell?
He already sold everything of value that the was owned by the state to "balance" the budgets when he was in office before. What's he going to sell now?? Jack Trice Stadium? Or maybe the whole ISU campus? (If he sells it off like he did WOI-TV, we should be able to get 100 or maybe even 200 thousand for it!!)

It has to be a bad dream someone had, to even THINK of Terry Braindead running again. I guess maybe it shows the caliber of the current crop of Republicans??

during toll booth Terry's regime. We were down there @Mississippi territory IIRC

3. Don't forget to mention his deep and abiding friendship with Jack DeCoster.
Never met a factory farm he didn't love.
