She's pandering to her racist base. Considering the number of racists in Iowa, it's not an altogether bad ploy.Misty » 30 Oct 2014 7:02 pm » wrote:Joni Ernst, the Republican state senator who is running for the U.S. Senate in Iowa has a Sharron Angle problem.
A piece of tape has emerged where Joni Ernst, like Sharron Angle before her, is threatening to
turn to armed violence against the government if she doesn`t get what she wants through the political process.
Joni Ernst addressing the crowd at an NRA event in 2012:
STATE SEN. JONI ERNST (R), IOWA: I have a beautiful little Smith & Wesson, 9 millimeter and it goes with me virtually everywhere.
I do believe in the right to carry. And I believe in the right to defend myself and my family, whether it`s from an intruder
or whether it`s from a government should they decide that my rights are no longer important.
Earlier this year, "Talking Points Memo" turned up a survey in which Joni Ernst said she supports legislation to allow local law enforcement in Iowa to arrest anybody who tries to implement Obamacare in that state.
In a survey distributed by the Ron Paul group, Campaign for Liberty, question five was, will you support legislation to nullify Obamacare and authorize state and local law enforcement to arrest federal officials attempting to implement the unconstitutional health care scheme known as Obamacare?
Joni Ernst answered yes to that question.

In some conservative circles, Joni has given the correct answer.
There's a big problem in the US. Joni is part of it, as is her base. She will probably get elected, take a private jet to DC and spout off an array of similar nonsense while she votes on bills to put more middle class money in the pockets of her wealthy contributors. And so it goes.
