Comments on: Muscatine Journal: "Quit bullying and give up on bad bill" http://www.iowahouserepublicans.com/muscatine-journal-quit-bullying-and-give-up-on-bad-bill Sat, 04 Feb 2012 00:58:49 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Robert Julson http://www.iowahouserepublicans.com/muscatine-journal-quit-bullying-and-give-up-on-bad-bill/comment-page-1#comment-6 Robert Julson Wed, 25 Feb 2009 22:50:16 +0000 http://iowahouserepublicans.com/?p=2075#comment-6 The way the speaker handled this totally took the focus off the possible merits of the bill. His actions which only served to hold legislators hostage for the weekend until somebody caved in reaks of nothing short of political strong arming to get your way. Forget the people of Iowa while Pat Murphy has his weekend in session and shows he cannot accept the will of the legislature. He prefers to have things his way and will do all he can to get it. Mr Murphy left Iowa voters holding the bag while he grandstanded for the weekend. I hope he enjoyed it, because he is souring voters' opinions of him. It is stunts like this that makes people cynical about politics. The way the speaker handled this totally took the focus off the possible merits of the bill.
