Republicans got some bad news on Monday as a poll in a key Senate race revealed that one of their ‘rock stars’ is quickly losing steam and is now trailing against her Democratic opponent. In the open Iowa Senate race, Rep. Bruce Braley (D-IA) is now leading Republican State Senator Joni Ernst by five points. Loras College released their poll on Monday. In early August, the polling institute showed Ernst up by six points with her likability numbers climbing. Now, she is scoring a net negative favorability rating with voters while Braley has a net positive.
A loss of eleven points in one month is nothing to sneeze at. It seems the more the voters of Iowa come to know Ernst the Ripper the less they like her.
This candidate is one of Palin's big endorsement success stories so if she flatlines in November it will serve as a crippling blow to Palin's already beaten and bloodied credibility.
Here's hoping that the good people of Iowa make the right choice.
Ah, the palin curse is alive and well, not that she gives a shit. Any endorsement by her this time around is merely a way to justify her P ac spending. She was obviously told she had to spend more on candidates instead of herself. Once she cashed Joni's check I'm sure she forgot all about Miss Piggy Balls.
ReplyDeleteIt's sad that liberals blame everything on a woman who doesn't even think she's influential. Shows how small minded you are. No wonder Obama won twice despite getting flak from even John stewart
DeleteIf she doesn't think she is influential, then why does she keep trying to influence people with her POS POV? Speeches, books, blogs. WTF?
Delete2:46 - did you even graduate from high school, sweetie? It 's "Jon Stewart." Bless your heart.
DeleteIf she doesn't believe she is influential why did she collect $100,000 from Karen Handel for endorsing her in Georgia? She lost in the primary, by the way. I wonder if Mrs. Palin returned the money, since her candidate didn't win? I somehow doubt it.
DeleteAlso too, 2:37pm let's not forget that SarahPAC was ranked one of the top 5 worst leadership PACs when it comes to money collected vs. money spent on candidates. Less than 5% of the money that she has collected since starting her PAC has gone to candidates. Not a very sterling track record.
Delete2:46--"doesn't even think she's influential"? You must be kidding. She plays that "just a hockey mom" garbage but she seems to think she's running the country. She's nothing but a negative, sour puss trying to drain this country of any happiness. Palin needs to keep her ugly, dark cloud of negativity to herself.
DeleteMe thinks 2:46 is Our Sarah Rotten Crotch. Five years unemployed and counting eh Sawah.
DeleteDamn 2:46, you're having yet another sad? You better make an appointment with that god therapist you mentioned. Now get back to your own blog, www.jealousimmatureidiotsrus.
DeleteOh, puh-leeze, 2:46 PM, she's Queen Esther to those who believe her ish! In reality, she's a money-grubbing Judas.
DeleteSome of those Dukkk DyNASTY asswipes think she's influential enough to rate a trip to the mcmansion on the dead lake.
DeleteHow did Ernst end up winning? I am a conservative, but I wish she would have lost. I don't care for her ideas towards animals, and I especially do not care for Palin. Just the fact that she backed Ernst would have turned me away if I still lived in Iowa.
Deletelol Sarah isn't God. And people don't vote because of endorsement.
ReplyDeleteYou'd think you, supreme knower of all things in your mind, would know that.
You might to keep your conversations with your other personalities to yourself, dear. You appear nuttier than usual.
DeleteAnd, she wasn't chosen by god only by the voice in her head. She scorns eating fruits and veggies so she never took a bite from the apple from the tree of knowledge. That meat she is so proud of killing and eating was supposed to be sacrificed to god. And, Joni, cutting the balls off of an unclean animal so it will fatten quicker, "to market, to market to buy a fat hog."
DeleteNot that I believe any of that biblical BS....but simple Sarah does.....she is waiting to be enraptured.
Oh yes, 2:44, people do vote because of some endorsements. Joni is on record just recently as saying we need more people like Sarah Palin serving in Washington. The majority of Americans and I assume the good folks in Iowa, think (know) that Sarah is a dumb ass. And the majority of us don't want anymore dumb asses in the government.
DeletePerhaps it is a coincidence, but Joni's poll numbers began to tank after she made that statement. She could have dismissed Sarah's endorsement as so many other smart politicians have done, but she did not. She made the statement and I believe it will cost her the election.
So, Hallelujah, praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.
I had totally forgotten about that song, Caroll, you must be of my generation.
DeleteGood grief, look at her in that absurd hoodie with all the crap written all over it. A 6th grader knows more about how to dress more appropriately than simple-minded sarah....she's a fucking joke.
ReplyDeleteA 6 year old would dress better.
DeleteShe's a SuperFreak!
I just realized the pig lady looks like the lady in "Angie's List."
ReplyDeleteThe Palin curse have morphed into this huge thing. Torrential rains hit Phoenix and Scottsdale causing mass flooding. This shit is for real folks!! Sarah Palin herself is bringing the end of times on planet Earth for her lies!
ReplyDeleteIt is also possible that the torrential rain is a result of the annual monsoon season, which runs June-September.
DeleteMissing your funny bone are you, 4:56?
Delete4:56, I used to live in that area, and those were pretty bad monsoons even for them.
DeleteM from MD
It's the worst Phoenix rain since 1933.
DeleteShe's behind? Good.
ReplyDeleteThis country does not need an elected official so damn stupid that they believe the endorsement of a vicious moron like Palin is something to be proud of.
Nor does the country need an elected official so nasty, bigoted, dishonest, and unethical enough that they actually admire Palin.
Anyone with half a brain would not want her endorsement! Here are some tid bits from an article in the Houston Press.
DeleteTwo Hundred "guests" went to the Mighty Oaks Warrior Foundation gala, wow, Sarah THE Sarah actually spoke and only 200 showed up? I thought her mere presence was supposed to draw thousands according to the We Stand With Sarah wing nuts the ones that went sure got their money's worth listening to her talk about how global warming was "bullshit" and this joke.."what does a liberal and a beer bottle have in common? They're both empty from the neck up" . Hey Sarah don't quit your day job to do comedy, oh wait you don't really have a job anyway.
Nefer, you always cut right to the quick, so to speak. I always enjoy reading your comments. Amen to this one.
DeleteIn my 57 years on the planet, Queen Heifer is the absolute worst I've ever seen. Why she hasn't been put out to pasture to chew her cud is beyond me. I'm just waiting for the lame excuse why she's not running in '16, We all know she can't and won't.
DeleteWell I hope Iowans don't elect the Ernst because if you put Ernst and Steve King together you have another Howard Stern Wack Pack!
DeleteMatter of fact, that's what we should call SarahPAC- The Wack PAC!
Gryphen, as you know, since I took over as IM's official and exclusive troll, there has been a noticeable decline in extraneous, unwanted and largely incomprehensible rogue trollery. However, there is still an unacceptable amount of what we in the troll control profession call "anal leakage" (see "WOW brand potato chips/Olestra") which is basically unauthorized and undesirable trolling by assholes. Rest assured that such activity will not be tolerated and our legal counsel, Rufus T. Firefly, Esq., is in the process of serving official "cease and desist, also too" demand letters at this very moment.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, please enjoy this nostalgic look back on stupid shit trolls say, won't you?
IM commenters
- are haters, nasty, suckers, illiterate, bad, a waste of space, layabouts, immature, bored, dumb, seriously disturbed, pieces of filth, rolling in ignorance, classless, ignorant, jealous, mean, unhappy, liars, slanderers, pathetic, losers, liberal...
- don't know her, minimize people, demean people, attack people with no real problems, spread false myths on blogs out of hate, sound stupid, need a mental purge, don't have lives...
- should get lives, grow up, shut up, go away...
"She", (who must not be named),
- is nice, down to earth, far from the worst, close, warm, owns your lives, real, not seedy, functioning, well adjusted, valley trash, caring, gracious, employed, generous, busy, sweet, non-judgmental, sunshine on a gloomy day, the best mom, treats staff well, gives encouragement, hard working, private, inteelajunt, living vibrantly, happy...
"Gryphen"
- is probably not even his real name, delusional, victimizing since 2009, sincerely stupid, matters not, writes in ignorance with hateful creativity, closeminded, not a psychologist, blackhearted...
- doesnt live in reality, doesnt know her, doesnt know any of the people who actually KNOW her, tries to ruin people, is criminal, not a great father, a lying putz, judgmental, just ignorant, revels in ignorance, knows nothing
I feel sorry for you. smh
Remember, Beldar Trolls So You Don't Have To!
Accept no Substitute!
And you are doing a bang up job. Best troll ever are you Beldar, if that is your name.
DeleteLol !!!
DeleteHey, could we , like pay her to endorse all the R's.. ? I will chip in, that should fix em.....
ReplyDeleteHere is the deal. I have butchered many pigs in my lifetime, starting as a child( It;s a way of life on a farm. But I do have a problem with anyone that "glorifies" any one butchering, a pig, cow, or chicken.
ReplyDeleteFarm/ranch life is
not always pretty, usually it involves someone( an animal) dying so you can live.
I think most consumers buying a chicken, sirloin, bacon, or ham don't think twice about buying that those or don't give a whit,
Sorry, but butchering happens on farms daily and the only thing possible to protect your family is to go meat free.
Sorry I am a meat lover and will continue to eat meat, but at the same time I treat my livestock well and use my herd as an example to others.
There is a way we can have meat( and have meat raised using humane means, but it might mean, buying less meat, hunting your own, or paying more.
Thank you, grew up in farm country as well.
DeleteIn the Alaska Native culture, the good ones (just like the good farmers) recognize that the only way you are a good hunter, is to be respectful and thankful for the animal giving themselves up to sustain you. Agreed.
DeleteOh the pity for Iowa. Nut cutter looney 'toon splashes into politics with an absurd video, a ton of Koch cash, and an endorsement from Quitter McGrifter. That's 3/3 Iowa, so please reject this wing nut.
ReplyDeleteAll American voters, please wake up and realize an infusion of Koch cash is your first clue the candidate is not for you. Truly, it is that simple. Koch is bad for your health.
Too bad the trolls are thriving on the noxious Koch fumes, may they be hit with a fatal load of Koch chemicals that ride our roads without paying.
Ernst's ass-kissing the Kochs may have had something to do with her falling numbers. The more people learn about the Kochs, the more they dislike them!
ReplyDeleteIf someone with uhm Ernst's credentials and ideology is dropping in the polls, then I'm thinking that Palin curse may be sorta attractive - the curse, mind you, not its source.
ReplyDeleteMrs. Palin, gentle readers, believes in nothing. Not the rapture, not the Jewish state, not fidelity, not love of country nor the man in the moon. She is only fixated on one thing, and that is Mrs. Palin. She's dumber than a doorknob, she could fuck up an anvil and the the proof that this country has the goddamnest dumbest sumbitches on the planet residing here is that she has people who actually buy her wagons of horsehit. It's disheartening, it really is.
ReplyDeleteOur Lad
Delete^This. And they vote.
Anvil mentions remind me of Wile E. Coyote.
DeleteThat she is.
couldn't a said it better myself ..
Delete...and they reproduce.
Deleteand they home school.
DeleteJust imagine a states' rights on marriage initiative for a moment: while traveling across the country, a couple would never know if their relationship was considered to be legal or criminal. And the Full Faith and Credit Clause of the United States Constitution would be thrown out the window. This is basic high school civics, folks. Now imagine someone who does not understand these elementary concepts deciding that they are going to make the laws that affect the lives of all the rest of us. Beyond absurd, just beyond absurd. If we could only pull the Tea Party Toddlers out of politics, the IQ and emotional intelligence levels of the average politician would skyrocket.
ReplyDeleteLet's face it, when the two things you're known for are a) getting a nod from Sarah Palin and b) a career in castrating pigs, you're basically screwed without being kissed first.
ReplyDeleteShe also believes in the almighty easy buck.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed that the Palin Curse holds true and a Democrat gets that seat.
ReplyDeleteM from MD
A Democrat is retiring from the seat.
DeleteI think a lot of this change has to do with folks getting over the dumb thing that Braley said quite some time ago (not really that dumb but of course the media deliberately took it the wrong way to make it a story) which initially artificially inflated Pigwoman's favorability. Nevertheless, if Pigwoman dragged old Sarah onto the stage with her now, she'd tank. Nobody likes Sarah as a political figure, they only like her for her hooker impersonations.
ReplyDeleteWhat did he say?
DeleteI remember when she had her own link on HuffPo. The more she spoke, the reality shows, she hardly gets mentioned anymore anywhere except those of the same mindset. Heck, Joe Scarborough even snorts at her and that's saying something for who HE is.
DeleteErnst is a full tilt tenther. That's what she dog whistles when she says "states' rights".
ReplyDeletewww.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/07/28/exclusive-gop-senate-candidate-caught-saying-states-can-nullify-laws.html
Wow, Sarah's paid channel (blog) is a HUGE bomb! The word and quote of the day haven't changed in a week. None of the little videos have oner 100 comments.
ReplyDeleteI think she blames you and Malia Gryphen. I think that crazy illiterate disturbed troll is Sarah herself bitching.. I really do.
There are too many commonalities in the choice of words.
Of course it could be a mentally deranged stalker, but if that's true, the person is certifiable and should be hospitalized.
I still think Sarah is losing it though and posting nonstop out of frustration.
Good point 5:54
ReplyDeleteWait, she was in Iowa over Labor Day weekend ? Why didn't she run in that annual marathon again (defend her old title !).
ReplyDeletePhoto-shopping has advanced in "leaps & bounds" since 2011, she could have pulled it off again !!
