I would say that I'm in general I'm disappointed with where -- with our with our country is now more than one year later Shauna says she thinks she's decide.

And still an independent.

I will I think I will forever be an independent but I am leaning.

Leaning towards Romney at this point in time and last time we chatted he said.

And I respect him for that.

More than one year later David said he's convinced his instincts about Romney -- rise and that business experience will lead him to the White House.

To this election really is a very strong.

Leader for this country.

Unlike almost everyone else we talked to here in Iowa David sees the unrest in the Middle East and North Africa factoring into the election.

His decision and the decision of other businessmen.

Many of whom look at the world through the prism of stability trade the price of oil and what it all means business and the -- of the US economy.

I think the world is less safe.

Gearing up and I hope for you know stronger military.

Common sense.

You know we're down to earth.

Stop from regulating us to death.

Because it's going to hurt us long term.

A message he delivered to us when we met him on his farm in June of 2011.

Those of us in the feed -- industry we have regulated ourselves because.

The last thing we want to do is rule in the land that -- -- that we survive on and six weeks later when we look at today.

The message that we want to send back to Washington is leave me alone today bill is really sick and tired of I was getting as much attention.

We wish that those ads were just go away.

You know we can make our own choices today without.
