Iowa GOP Senate candidate Joni Ernst won't mess around when it comes to cutting wasteful pork spending in Washington - and she has the experience to prove it.

DennisR, I’ll vote for you.
They are crooks, plain and simple.
Some of us here remember the House Bank and House post office. I think Rush brought them up today.
5% approval and yet about 90% retention rate. It isn't them, it is us that are at fault.
“This is even better than the Republican the other day shooting Obamacare with an AR-15”
Yeah, both are effective.
I hope I'm wrong, but that would probably be too much to hope for. :(
“5% approval and yet about 90% retention rate. It isn’t them, it is us that are at fault. “
I studied marketing for my MBA. A mathematician came up with a formulae that said if you put x amount of money into advertising you’d make Y% profit. It didn’t matter what you sold. He took it to a company and to prove the formulae he said, “I tell you what. We’ll sell rocks.” And, they did. Recall the Pet Rock? They made $4 million dollars, exactly what he said they’d make.
The thing is, McCain spent 23 million dollars when a conservative tried to primary him and he won the primary. Then he won the general election as the incumbent almost always does.
It’s not that the informed voter who is at fault, it’s that the informed voter is probably just 40% of the electorate.
I want to know how she intends to resist the obviously successful program Washington uses to co-opt freshmen congressional representatives.
Exposing for us what that program is would go a long way toward giving these “reformers” credibility they no longer deserve, regardless of their novel catch-phrases.
I’d like to see the DC offices shut down completely and move the congress critters
back to an office within their district. With the advent of communications that we have
today all necessary business can be transacted with them sitting in a district office,
satellite hookups, large screens, and people from their district looking on. They can
debate, vote, file motions, etc all via wireless.
Bring them back home to the people and let the people look in on.
Great campaign ad!
“Bring them back home to the people and let the people look in on.”
In DC they’re living a lifestyle of the rich and powerful. You can’t have the concentrated adulation of hundreds of sycophants at home. The idea is to be seen in all the right places and with all the right people. You can’t do that in Peoria.
But, I agree with you. Also, it makes America invulnerable to a one nuke decapitationg blast.
Love the comment some left at the link:
“Your castration skills will do you no good in Washington. Nobody in DC has any balls.”
Screw the Google+ help site, it locks up my computer........
I assume I’ll have to go to the YouTube, wait a while for it to load and then maybe be barely able to hear it to find out what the line is? Pity. I’ll just have to assume it’s standard campaign hype.
Any politician who promises to cut all federal spending to his or her state and locale without favoritism for any special interest and makes the effort common knowledge will have a job for life now. Most voters are fed up with increasing local taxes (e.g., property taxes), fees (e.g., impact fees), regulations and joblessness enforced by them.
Maybe less than 40%, then consider half of those don't vote.
