It turns out that Iowa Senate hopeful Joni Ernst supports arresting government agents for implementing Obamacare, and is kind of a liar as well. You know I wish I was surprised.

Courtesy of TPM:  

State Sen. Joni Ernst, the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in Iowa, once said she would support legislation that would allow "local law enforcement to arrest federal officials attempting to implement" Obamacare. 

Ernst voiced her support for that, as well as supporting legislation that would "nullify" Obamacare in a Iowa State Legislative Candidates survey for Ron Paul's libertarian-aligned Campaign for Liberty in 2012. 

The question was: "Will you support legislation to nullify ObamaCare and authorize state and local law enforcement to arrest federal officials attempting to implement the unconstitutional health care scheme known as ObamaCare?" Ernst answered that question as "yes." 

Isn't suggesting that Federal officials be arrested for doing their jobs, or that force should be used to show resistance straight out of the sovereign citizen's handbook?  (I think it's somewhere between the chapter on making your own handwritten license plate, and tips to keep your red, white, and blue underwear from riding up your crack.)

And boy who doesn't want to elect a Senator to represent your state who would urge the local law enforcement to draw their weapons on federal agents and place them under arrest. I mean that could never backfire, right?

And speaking of Joni Ernst, it appears that when she said this in a debate last week....

...she was just pulling it right out of her ass.

Courtesy of Politifact:

Ernst said Braley "threatened to sue a neighbor over chickens that came onto (his) property." Some might not like the way Braley and his wife handled a dispute with a neighbor -- by going to the neighborhood association and then consulting the association's lawyer. 

Even so, there is no material evidence that Braley threatened a lawsuit against the neighbor or was even considering one. Even the neighbor says that. 

We rate Ernst’s claim False.

Wow going all Cliven Bundy concerning federal agents, and making up lies to smear your opponent, gee if only Iowa had some early indication that this lady was such a dishonest extremist.

Oh wait, they did.

      Please take an English class. People will take you more seriously if we can understand what it is you are trying to say.

      If you do not want to take a class, I suggest you start reading real books, preferably non fiction books. You would be amazed at how your writing skills will improve by reading authors who can make magic when they write a sentence.

      You know who could turn a phrase like it was no one's business? Joe McGinniss That man knew how to write. It really didn't matter what the subject matter was; he always made it interesting.

      If Joe or non fiction is not your cup of tea, try John Steinbeck. 'Cannery Row', 'Travels with Charlie' or 'The Grapes of Wrath' to name just a few of his many novels.

      Read the short stories of O Henry. My how that man could turn a phrase.

      You could also read some great poetry. Robert Frost comes to mind. How about this poem below: 'Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy evening'.

      Whose woods these are I think I know.
      His house is in the village, though;
      He will not see me stopping here
      To watch his woods fill up with snow.

      My little horse must think it queer
      To stop without a farmhouse near
      Between the woods and frozen lake
      The darkest evening of the year.

      He gives his harness bells a shake
      To ask if there is some mistake.
      The only other sound's the sweep
      Of easy wind and downy flake.

      The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
      But I have promises to keep,
      And miles to go before I sleep,
      And miles to go before I sleep

      G also has miles to go before he sleeps. And on it goes troll. He is not going to stop.

      What government agents enforcing Obamacare is right, anonymous 3:45. Unless she obtusely is referring to the IRS. Otherwise, private physicians, hospitals, and clinics are the ones 'enforcing' Obamacare, because Obamacare is nothing more than private people, individual citizens, purchasing (or receiving subsidies for the purchase of) health INSURANCE. It is NOT government-supplied health care. It is a program that covers the health insurance industry.

      I assume Ernst is totally stupid with respect to matters of financial investing. With respect to her desire to arrest those who are enforcing Obamacare, I wonder if she means the insurance companies that are now making a ton of money off of Obamacare? Wellpoint, for example (which covers many seeking coverage through Medicaid expansion) saw its stock go up around 40 percent in just the past year. Does Joni want to take the money away from those companies and shareholders? She sounds like someone who is full of fake smiles, meaningless sound bites, and fully ignorant of how the real world is functioning.

    This is just more proof that the republican clowns have no idea what Obamacare is. Implementing it? You mean when a citizen buys health insurance from a private company? Is that implementing Obamacare? Who exactly is going to call the police?

    Yes, there are requirements overseen by federal officials (minimum standards for each plan offered, no caps, no exclusions fro pre-existing conditions, etc.) but really, who is going to know what mid-level pencil pusher at any given time in any given office somewhere is "implementing" Obamacare.

    Fools like Ernst must really believe in visions of heroic local LEs trying to stop jackbooted federal thugs from dragging the elderly and disabled out of their homes and off to the death panels.
