Discussion for article #229689
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
EDIT (from a DKos fundraising email, yesterday):
âŚthe latest poll out of the must-win U.S. Senate race in Iowa shows why our Get Out The Vote effort is kicking conventional wisdom in the butt:
[Democrat] Braley leads 56 - 36 percent among those who already have voted.
Iowa is a heavy early voting stateâ40% of all votes have already been cast.
Donât despair for Iowa quite yet folks!

I donât know why this site canât manage to convey what Harkins actually said in a concise way. âHarkins said heâd been hearing from Iowans that they considered Ernst âattractiveâ and ânice,â and said it didnât matter how attractive or nice she were if her positions were wrong for Iowa.â How hard is that?

jw1, Iâd like to commend you for your GOTV effort and Iâll add one thing: I have to say to some of our resident purity trolls that if you do not vote for the Democrats today, do not ever, ever, ever complain about the state of politics going forward, because you donât have the right to. You can bash the Democrats and complain about their feckless kowtowing to corporate power and whine that theyâre not all to the left of Che Guevara if you vote. If not, just shut up because nobody wants to hear it.

Money.
If the site/channel/agency doesnât toe the line most favorable to the PAC$?
The money gets funneled elsewhere.
Eventually your competitors are better funded.
You know where that leads.
I recommend all to read Sniffitâs series of posts from yesterday
on the ÂŽs and Dark Money article/thread.
Straightforward explanation.

Seems that this site has found a replacement for tired old Sister Sarah. She was sooooooooo 2008 anyway.
He also compared her to pop star Taylor Swift.
Except he didnât. Thanks for pushing Ernstâs line TPM.

ââŚattractiveâŚâ
Actually, untrustworthy.
Thatâs why conservatives want government to make sure sheâs behaving in a way their fetus approves.

Like Sarah Palin with a pixie.
Many on the right were fine with the viral catcalling video Yeah,certain pundits on FOX ânewsâ were fine with it too.
But supposedly calling Ernst attractive? OMG!
She was using a snip of Harkinâs comment to play victim, her outrage was not real. Tantaros (ugh) was right.
If you havenât already, VOTE today.

Who, among us, doesnât feel outrage after being called attractive and nice ?

Certainly none of the hussies on FoxâŚ
Hopefully the Oscar for feigned outrage on the campaign trail wonât be followed by sending a real outrage (based on her extreme viewsâat least those she has talked about) to the Senate.

Holy Hog Balls!
So, her ânicenessâ is on the outside and excluded from commentary but her self-described âpretty darn toughâ qualities are, again in her strange opinion, somehow inside her body and, thus, open for discussion like some sort of highly politicized, religion-wrapped reproductive function?!?!

Oh JoniâŚif you want to actually fight the culture that demeans women all the timeâŚmaybe you should get your brain out of your arse and realize youâre in the party that encourages this kind of behaviour.

âI regret saying that Joni Ernst was attractive. That was a vicious lie and I deeply apologize for it.â

Sheâs so âtoughâ she canât keep from getting outraged over a remark that was never even made. Sheâs only âtoughâ when abusing helpless piglets. If she gets elected, the piglets will be us.

Joni wasnât feigning outrage at being called attractive. She was actually very outraged at being called attractive. She only appreciates the truth, and she is not attractive at all. How dare a politician lie about something as personal as her physical appearance.
