Joni Ernst: ‘We Are Going to Make ‘Em Squeal!’

Joni Ernst: ‘We Are Going to Make ‘Em Squeal!’ State Sen. Joni Ernst defeated Democratic Rep. Bruce Braley (D-IA) here, likely becoming the Republican pickup that handed the GOP control of the Senate. Ernst emerged from relative obscurity in March with a television ad that made her instantly famous, introducing herself as someone who grew up “castrating hogs on an Iowa farm” to make a point about cutting government pork barrel spending. “Thanks to all of you we are heading to Washington, and we are going to make ’em squeal!” Ernst said in a victory speech here. Alone among Republican… View Article

And in Florida, pro-Second Amendment incumbent Rick Scott (R) beat gun control candidate Charlie Crist. These victories were enhanced by the fact that Gabby Giffords… View Article

Bill Clinton—Useless in Arkansas

Bill Clinton—Useless in Arkansas Bill Clinton made his hometown of Hope, Ark., famous in his 1992 presidential election, but he couldn’t deliver any good news for in-state Democrats running this year. Representative Tom Cotton (R., Ark.) won a convincing victory over Senator Mark Pryor, despite Bill Clinton’s best efforts to efforts to salvage a victory for Democrats in his home state. Fox News called the race for Cotton pretty quickly — he leads 52 to 45, at the moment. That’s got to be a disappointment for Clinton, who urged voters to push President Obama out of their minds, because he’ll… View Article

NH Fertile for Illegal Alien Gangs, Crime if Jeanne Shaheen Re-Elected MANCHESTER, New Hampshire — If incumbent Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen is re-elected, national immigration experts are sure of one thing: Families, children, and mothers in New Hampshire won’t be safe from looming crime from illegal aliens’ gangs—which are absolutely, law enforcement says, active in the region. “Jeanne Shaheen’s support for amnesty for illegal aliens through her vote for the Gang of Eight bill and through her support for President Obama’s planned executive amnesty is endangering all families across New Hampshire,” Maria Espinoza, the national director of The Remembrance Project,… View Article
