Related: About this forumBruce Braley needs to go on the attack!
It seems that Joni Ernst has tried to use her military service as an excuse for missing 57% of the Iowa Senate votes! Only 12 of the votes that you missed were actually related to your National Guard duty. Shame on you Joni Ernst! Seems to make you a phony! Phony Joni was actually AWOL for 57% of the Iowa Senate votes! It is honorable to serve in the United States Military. But you then go and dishonor as well as disrespect all of the fine men and women who have fought and in some cases, gave up their lives for the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! What about the families of our Service Men and Women who have sacrificed too? You have disrespected them too! Do you always use your National Guard duty as an excuse all of the time or is it just some of the time? DON'T BE A PHONY JONI! PLEASE REPOST AND SPREAD THE WORD! WE DO NOT NEED THIS KIND OF REPRESENTATION FOR THE STATE OF IOWA IN THE UNITED STATES SENATE!
I have met Bruce and I have door knocked, made phone calls, donated to his campaigns, both the current campaign and those in the past. In past elections there has been millions of dollars spent trying to defeat Bruce. Why? Because he can't be bought by special interests.
I truly wish that Bruce would go on the attack. The problem is that if he does, people will feel sympathy for Phony Joni!

to attack their opponents, especially on their 'do nothing' and no ideas approach. The Repukes get results by making up lies about the Dems and never have any ideas about doing anything except cut taxes for the wealthy.
