I obviously do not believe the president is a dictator, but his repeated use of unilateral action sure makes him look like one.

Well done, Sir! Nicely done, indeed!

OK - clearly this backtrack indicates that Iowa is NOT batshit crazy on a statewide level. In her pocket of the world, it certainly is but, if I’m not mistaken, POTUS won IA. Now, anywhere in the Deep South, she not only would make the statement to begin with but triple down on it to make sure EVERYONE heard her (see: Gohmert, Louie R-batshit)…

Joni Ernst, the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in Iowa

POTUS won in '08 and '12. Overall Democrats won six out of seven last presidential elections.

Unfortunately, she has now lost the bog-peoples’ “Impeach Obama 'Coz…Well…'Coz…” vote, which I hear is not inconsiderable among Iowa conservatives.

Nicely backpedaled, ma’am, with just the right-sized dollop of crazy (" sure makes him look like one ") on top. Fast learner, this one.

She added that many lawmakers have stayed silent on Obama’s actions.

Yes since the invention of videotape, just making up shit wholesale kind of makes you look stupid when viewed multiple times. I can see why some people might not want to go on record.

The President is not a dictator, he just plays one on TV.

Anyone who uses the phrase “appointing czars” in a sentence is simply too stupid for office. Nothing else she may say can erase that particular stain.

The Ernst spouse also says strange and offensive things about women, none of which Piglet knew anything about. J. Napolitano was a “traitorous skank” and HRC was a “hag.”

" ‘It’s time to impeach; and on behalf of American workers and legal immigrants of all backgrounds, we should vehemently oppose any politician on the left or right who would hesitate in voting for articles of impeachment.’ -Sarah Palin"

So is Sarah Palin now going to ‘vehemently oppose’ Joni Ernst?

Joni Ernst doesn’t know what a dictator is.

I suspect this is her idea of a dictator:
