The Iowa Democratic Party has pumped $189,000 in the Marek campaign in the last month.

I am confused. Larry says he is for the right to work law and against fair share. What has he told the Democrats to get so much money from them?

The “charges” sound like empty-headed cookie-cutter crap from the Republican playbook of the last 40 years, and which right-wing Republicans direct at any Democrat, no matter what the reality.

If you haven't seen the ad, when “liberals” get mentioned, a box with, I believe, the words “Liberal Allies” gets flashed on the screen. As if being a “liberal” were a crime, some form of terrorism. Maybe Jarad Klein should try being a liberal–someone who actually cares about other human beings.

From knowing nothing about this race, seeing the ad instantly turned me into a fervent supporter of Larry Marek, and I pray that Jarad Klein, the perpetrator of this malarkey, FAILS in his run for office.

In fact, it reinforces it. At a time, when our country is slouching towards extremist left-wing socialism, when our leaders are associating with domestic terrorists and moral values are steadily diminishing, Jarad Klein represents the change we need back to a free market where government doesn't interfere with health care, where no one questions the bravery of our troops abroad and where there were real family values. We need that type of change. The change that President Bush stands for and the change that Jarad Klein stands for. This is an election between an elitist Des Moines Loebsack-loving liberal in Larry Marek and a traditional conservative in Jarad Klein who has already shown executive experience and leadership as the Chair of the Keokuk County Republican Party. Klein is a fresh face who is the right change for Iowa. Larry Marek is certainly not the change we need and I don't think Jarad Klein's ties with President Bush alters that message.

It is detestable that a far right wing extremist like Jarad Klein would try to hide behind Barack Obama's coat tails. But it shows when even a far right wing opponent of women's rights, workers' rights, GLBT rights etc has to pretend to be associated with a progressive leader like Barack Obama to have a chance. Hopefully, the voters will see through it and elect Barack Obama as our next President and Larry Marek as a strong Democratic leader in the legislature.
