Any comment about Krause dumping on Nussle

[rurallib]

Got to think that hurt Jimmy big. Krause is a real noise maker as I recall. Jimmy got caught between the money boys an the fundies. Too F----n bad.

1. Krause's son is a jerk in the first degree

He owns the local minor league team and I have had a few chances to meet him. Kevin Krause is a grade A first class a**hole. Whether or not his father is like that or not, I don't know. But it sounds like the elder Krause is more interested in having gambling machines in his stores than in not having them. He dumped on Nussle, but he'll probably back one of the other Republican candidates. After all, he was partially responsible for Tom Davis getting booted from U of I, so he has some stroke. If only he'd use it for good. But it does stink for Nussle and thats a good thing. Hopefully, it will take Nussle a while to regroup.

2. I sort of know the old man from waaaaay back

One can safely say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
This is to me very illustrative of just how concerned regressives are about society. The money says 'don't fuck wiy=th my money' and the fundies say 'kiss our asses or we quit'. At some point this unholy alliance must simply blow up and when it does, I believe the pukes will be screwed forever.

Nussle had to take a stand on an issue and he pissed a large donor off. Cry me a river..

5. I hope more dump him after his vote on 2/1

There have got to be some moderate republicans that can't stomach his rob from the poor to give to the rich philosophy.

7. Funny, rob from the poor give to the rich is probably one

that Krause could really go for. I mean, isn't that exactly the purpose of those lottery machines?

8. Give a little hope and then take it away

You can't win if you don't play!

6. Here's a little different perspective from State29

Hate to admit it, but it does take some sack to tell a donor like that to go to hell...

Double Dipper Bill Krause, Mr Kum & Go, Can't Buy Nussle Support Of Slottery Machines

Well, good for Nussle. Even though we don't like him as a potential gubernatorial candidate, at least he has the balls to stand up to some rich old fart who has more than enough money already without getting everybody in Iowa addicted to those dirty slottery machines.

It also helps that Kum & Go stores are mostly filthy shitholes. They're certainly several levels below Quik Trips, Phillips 66s, C-Marts, Casey's, or even the Ladora Stora, so it's not like we'd ask anybody to boycott them. Most people, especially women, who have been in the bathroom of a Kum & Go already know that it's probably safer to take a shit behind the dumpsters out back.
