Paul Begala twists Joni Ernst’s #2A statement into call for violence

http://twitter.com/#!/PaulBegala/status/525338353622077440

In 2012, Iowa Senate candidate Joni Ernst told an audience that she carries a gun to protect her family and her rights should the government ever try to take them away.

Paul Begala (and others) are now framing Ernst’s quote to mean that she supports violent revolution against the U.S. government, including police and soldiers:

That’s not what Ernst was talking about and Begala knows it, but hey, there’s an election coming up and Dem desperation is high.

Others took that ball from Begala and ran with it:

If Ernst were actually supporting violent revolution against the U.S. government she’d be kind of stupid for trying to get elected to the Senate, wouldn’t she?

Why the war on warrior women? Joni Ernst losing women 50%-42% in Iowa

http://twitter.com/#!/iamkohan/status/527415756469063680

Here is the latest polling news from Iowa on the Senate race between Republican and veteran Joni Ernst and Democrat Beatle Bailey Bruce Bailey Bruce Braley:

And an excerpt from the write-up:

Iowa Republican State Sen. Joni Ernst is inching ahead among likely voters in the U.S. Senate race and now has 49 percent to 45 percent for U.S. Rep. Bruce Braley, the Democrat, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today. Five percent remain undecided.

This compares to results of an October 23 survey by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN- uh-pe-ack) University, showing Sen. Ernst at 48 percent and Rep. Braley at 46 percent.

Today’s results show independent voters backing Ernst 50 – 41 percent. Republicans back Ernst 90 – 4 percent. Democrats go to Braley 94 – 4 percent.

The reverse gender gap in this race continues as women back the Democratic man 50 – 42 percent, while men back the Republican woman 56 – 39 percent.

Why the war on warrior women Dems?

And in other news, Joni Ernst’s RV killed a deer last night:

No, she didn’t skin the deer silly liberal, but she could have if she wanted to. R.I.P. Bambi.
