Senate Candidate: I'll Use My Hog Castrating Experience To Help End Pork Barrel Spending
Big Government ^ | 3/25/2014 | Jonathan Strong

Posted on 03/25/2014 2:00:48 PM PDT by markomalley

Joni Ernst, a Republican candidate in the GOP Senate primary in Iowa, is touting her experience “castrating hogs on an Iowa farm” to underscore how emphatic she will be about ending pork barrel spending in the U.S. Senate.

“I'm Joni Ernst. I grew up castrating hogs on an Iowa farm. So when I get to Washington, I'll know how to cut pork,” Ernst says in the ad, followed by the sound of a pig squealing.

The ad, which was provided exclusively to Breitbart News, will appear in television spots in Iowa. Ernst ends the ad saying, “Washington's full of big spenders. Let's make them squeal.”

As previously reported at Breitbart, Ernst is one of several conservative candidates who are running against a wealthy businessman with a strikingly liberal record.

Most of the pork doesn’t pass the Tenth Amendment test.

The Tenth Amendment states the Constitution's principle of federalism by providing that powers not granted to the federal government by the Constitution, nor prohibited to the States, are reserved to the States or the people.

THAT'S for sure!
The Democrat Party doesn't know about this amendment and the GOP ignores it. This country needs another Ronald Reagan, former governor of the Golden State.

I think this one may get a Sarah Palin endorsement. Pro-life, pro 2nd amendment etc.

GFY. This is MY country and my intent is to FIX it ... not wallow in corruption. You?

Not much to fix! If ANYONE thinks s/he can live ANY better ANYwhere else on the planet...they s/he should "get outta Dodge," go there and leave us alone. We aren't perfect, thanks to original sin, but mostly we do try.

I've traveled the world, mostly with my beloved husband (now gone).
THIS is the VERY BEST place on the planet earth to live.

When we returned home for good I KISSED the ground of our beloved country.
I was at LAX and was DELIGHTED to kiss Angelino ground!!

Maybe, but I’ll bet they adjust their furniture a bit and don’t laugh too hard.

Has the ASPCA lost their temper yet?

Why should they, given their penchant for castrating dogs?

Bullcrap! Compare our bloated Federal Leviathan (and its State counterparts) to the governments described in the Federal and various State Constitutions. Vast, huge chunks need to be excised, sooner rather than later.

I've traveled the world,

Well, guess what, Sparkydoodles? You're not the only one. I have seen how thoroughly fscked up other countries are, and I want to fix ours before it gets as bad as them ... and that's the road we're on. If you haven't the stomach for fixing what desperately needs to be fixed before it gets any worse, STFU and get out of the way.

Oh, really?

And why, pray tell, would that be???

Oh, yes: Because there's a whole hairy horde of government crap that needs to be fixed or eliminated.

Get it?

Damn. I’m disappointed that Sam Clovis can’t make the same claim.

I would love to hear a response by “The Assumed/So Called Congresswomen” who recently claimed that our great grandparents were around 400 years ago and had something to say regarding the Destiny of the Destined Plane that never landed in its scheduled destination.

I wonder what kind of sound Reid would make if she had her way with him.

“and had something to say regarding the Destiny of the Destined Plane that never landed in its scheduled destination.”

Uhm, what was the alcohol content of the speaker?

I view this with the same lack of appreciation I would view a man saying he was ready to mutilate the chest of any woman that wouldn’t agree to end pork barrel spending.

There must be a better way to get the point across, that doesn’t make you look like a dip-stick.

Lol. By all means,continue bellyaching. It's SO helpful, positive and encouraging.

You AIN'T never gonna get fixed/eliminated government crap. I think you should go live in a third world sewer country for a day...and THEN you will see what a "hairy horde of government crap" REALLY is.

You are SUCH a baby when it comes to reality. You really and truly think that our government is so full of a "hairy horde of government crap"--you are SUCH a babe in the woods!

Wow!! I didn't think such NAIVETE existed any more. You REALLY think that "government crap" can be fixed and/or eliminated! WOW. You are a BABE in the woods!!
