(81,466 posts)I hope she's exposed for every phony pile of bullshit she squats out from here til the end of her ill-gotten SINGLE term in the Senate.
calimary
(81,466 posts)But then again, I'm automatically suspicious of all things republi-CON. Male AND female. Regardless what they might say or portray. They're ALWAYS suspect. I don't trust any of them farther than I can throw my house.

Something like the "American Dream" - from a poor Indian girl to a rich white woman. Even seen being referred to as Pocahontas.
They practice their mean spirit, regardless of who the nominee will be.

(47,534 posts)In the past few weeks he posted sporadically, replaced by some nasty RW cartoons. But I think that he is back. And roaring.

(16,987 posts)...here's an article from the LA Times:

It has almost become a cliche that the politicians who bray the loudest about cutting government waste and slashing "entitlements" turn out to have learned what they know about the government trough from the inside.
The latest example is Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, who rode her tea party small-government platform to victory in the 2014 election. Ernst is viewed as such an appealing figure by her GOP colleagues that they chose her to deliver the party's official response to President Obama's State of the Union address on Tuesday.
Now we're at a point where the government will give away everything. - Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, calling for more self-reliance
The public spotlight might not prove to be Ernst's best friend. The District Sentinel, a Washington, D.C., news co-op, reports that despite her campaign pitch that her parents "taught us to live within our means," her family members collected $463,000 in federal farm subsidies from 1995 through 2009.

(47,534 posts)I think that Bachmann also received all kind of government subsidies.
And, of course, we have all the politicians who start as state representatives, or as district attorney and then move to congress thus continue to live off tax payers money.
