You talk about this like Iowa is the only school in the country that schedules FCS teams. How is this embarrassing to Iowa? Are you going to go to the Alabama newspaper sites and call them out as well? Is LSU unable to compete with FBS schools because they schedule FCS?

So, after this whole rant, Jim, are you willing to agree that our Congressmen should want to work together to lead and solve problems? Because that’s what this article is about.

How does his solution make an assumption that hunting is the reason? If you put a temporary hold on hunting, it could potentially give the numbers a chance to rebound more than if there was hunting. That doesn’t blame hunting for anything.

What I know is that just yesterday, Albrecht said that a taxpayer in western Iowa shouldn’t have to pay for rail in eastern Iowa, even if it means losing federal funds for the project. And yet, just recently the Governor defended giving over a hundred million dollars in credits and tax breaks to Orascom, using [...]

Monopoly? I’m not sure you understand what a monopoly is.

Nice overgeneralization there.

Less has been spent by the vote no people. Haven’t you been reading the newspaper?

Um…How is voting no taking Linn County jobs from Linn County? It’s not. And voting either way produces some jobs and money if no gets an entertainment complex. You’re not making any sense.

Huh? An INDOOR waterpark doesn’t jive with winter?

What you call tacky and desperate, I call savvy. And it raises an interesting question about whether the casino is really the most beneficial use for that land. There’s a good chance this will pass in the election, but the state will deny the request and the millions spent on this will be for nothing. [...]

LOL. Which “Christian values” are reflected by trying to avoid cuts to defense by cutting more social programs that help the poor? Trying to say that one side has a monopoly on Christian values is a horrible argument. Neither side is perfect. And, seriously, if you think he’s trying to be a dictator, then you [...]

Joe, interesting how you failed to address Scott Stines comment just below where you replied. It addresses the pay vs population argument you’re trying to make. And it seems like you’re the one blowing it based on that.

I doubt if the supporters of this casino all have the best interests of the public at heart, either. They have their own pocketbooks at heart, same as the casinos opposing it.

Where are all of these ads, Rich? I have yet to see a “Gambling is Horrible” ad.

“So an anti-gambling message is funded with gambling dollars. Surprise.”

I just don’t get this. I haven’t been paying incredibly close attention, but the ads I have seen haven’t been “anti-gambling,” they’ve been “anti-this casino.”

have anymore conspiracy theories you’d like to talk about?

Why would this matter? Almost every campaign anymore is bankrolled by corporations/competitors trying to protect themselves.

Where do you get that they are telling us how bad casinos are? They’re saying they don’t support a casino in CR, now that casinos are horrible. I think you’re just making up points to argue with.

And if Reid comes in, that’s a guy who has been coaching all over the NE for over 30 years. He might have just as many contacts as Wilson had.

Horrible, Horrible, probably cash-induced decision.
