WASHINGTON, DC – Tonight, Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) will deliver the Republican Address to the Nation following the State of the Union. Following are excerpts from the address:
“I’d like to have a conversation about the new Republican Congress you just elected, and how we plan to make Washington focus on your concerns again. We heard the message you sent in November — loud and clear. And now we’re getting to work to change the direction Washington has been taking our country.”
---
“We see our neighbors agonize over stagnant wages and lost jobs. We see the hurt caused by canceled healthcare plans and higher monthly insurance bills. We see too many moms and dads put their own dreams on hold while growing more fearful about the kind of future they’ll be able to leave to their children. Americans have been hurting, but when we demanded solutions, too often Washington responded with the same stale mindset that led to failed policies like Obamacare. It’s a mindset that gave us political talking points, not serious solutions.”
---
“There’s a lot we can achieve if we work together. Let’s tear down trade barriers in places like Europe and the Pacific. Let’s sell more of what we make and grow in America over there so we can boost manufacturing, wages, and jobs right here, at home. Let’s simplify America’s outdated and loophole-ridden tax code. Republicans think tax filing should be easier for you, not just the well-connected. So let’s iron out loopholes to lower rates — and create jobs, not pay for more government spending. The President has already expressed some support for these kinds of ideas. We’re calling on him now to cooperate to pass them.”
---
“We've been reminded of terrorism’s reach both at home and abroad; most recently in France and Nigeria, but also in places like Canada and Australia. Our hearts go out to all the innocent victims of terrorism and their loved ones. We can only imagine the depth of their grief. ... The forces of violence and oppression don’t care about the innocent. We need a comprehensive plan to defeat them.”
---
“Congress is back to work on your behalf, ready to make Washington focus on your concerns again. We know America faces big challenges. But history has shown there’s nothing our nation, and our people, can’t accomplish.”
You’re just digging your hole deeper.
This is one Iowan who would have been truly shocked if it had been anything else.
The Issue is not the Issue, the Issue is the Revolution!
The Soviet Constitution circa 1936 (The Great Experiment as it was referred to by Western Leftists)
Chapter 2:
Article 3. Its fundamental aim being abolition of all exploitation of man by man, complete elimination of the division of society into classes, merciless suppression of the exploiters, socialist organization of society, and victory of socialism in all countries, the Third All-Russia Congress of Soviets of Workers', Soldiers' and Peasants' Deputies further resolves:
Pursuant to the socialization of land, private land ownership is hereby abolished, and all land is proclaimed the property of the entire people and turned over to the working people without any redemption, on the principles of egalitarian land tenure.
All forests, mineral wealth and waters of national importance, as well as all live and dead stock, model estates and agricultural enterprises are proclaimed the property of the nation.
The Soviet laws on workers' control and on the Supreme Economic Council are hereby confirmed in order to guarantee the power of the working people over the exploiters and as a first step towards the complete conversion of factories, mines, railways and other means of production and transportation into the property of the Soviet Workers' and Peasants' Republic.
The Third Congress of Soviets regards as a first blow at international banking, financial capital, the Soviet law on the annulment of loans negotiated by the governments of the tsar, the landlords and the bourgeoisie and expresses confidence that Soviet power will be advancing steadfastly along this road until the complete victory of an international workers' uprising against the rule of capital.
To ensure the sovereign power of the working people and to rule out any possibility of restoration of the power of the exploiters, the arming of the working people, the creation of a socialist Red Army of workers and peasants, and the complete disarming of the propertied classes are hereby decreed.
Sorry. Not watching this circus. Going to follow the KentuckybBB game instead. More real. More entertaining.

Don’t worry Rinny. I’m sure all the staunch rock ribbed conservatives that helped the RINOs into more power than ever will get started on ‘taking the party back’ any day now. Yup. Real soon. But not 2016 because thats the most important election ever! After that though watch out!
I was watching The Battle of Oriskany on the Military History Channel. I learned something and didn’t have to have my intelligence insulted.
Yep! Holding their feet to the fire! LOL!
“feet to the fire! “
” Get it right in 2016 (meanwhile, any Republican is better than a Democrat”
” Need to pick our battles! “
......ad nauseum, ad infinitum
Any true American would vote for R-Liberal over D-Liberal. I mean it only makes sense. Only evil purists who hate America and love Obama would do otherwise. I mean, that R makes ALL the difference. It’s an R. DUH!!! Of course it’s different.
Can you imagine if the evil purists had their way and the Dems won?? Obamacare would have been funded 4 times and we’d be getting amnesty. Hell, there might be an illegal as a guest of the President at the SOTU!
NO W A Y an R-Liberal would ever let that happen. No way. And by God, we’re gonna hold their feet to the fire with dry powder and We are the world marches and strongly worded letters while melting their switchboards!
Come on everybody! We got Quilting to do!!!
GOPe = Socialist, and crony capitalist. Surely you can see the difference!
Of course! Do you take me for some evil purist that wears cowboy hats, shoots randomly in all directions, sports a moustache and rides dragons?
The difference is clear. A D is on the left side of the alphabet and the R is on the right side. CLEARLY anyone with more than a 2nd grade understands this.
Why would any Dog loving American patriot ever vote against an R when it’s obviously on the right side of things. It is apparent to me that since it’s right of center, then OBVIOUSLY it’s membership is right of center. As such, it is the more conservative letter.
Secondly, R is the letter of Reagan. And Reagan had so much awesome he had TWO of them. And his middle letter was EVEN FURTHER to the right. The W had to stand boldly and patriotically between the two R’s because that much conservatism together would tear the space time continuum.
Besides. History shows us that Reagan stood proudly for turning the party over to the people he fought against. And if you don’t see that, well... I just don’t want to live on this planet anymore. And I want a pony. With bubbles, rainbows and happy butterfly thoughts. because to be honest, this Thorazine is a bitch since they upped my dosage.
” Secondly, R is the letter of Reagan.”
These days (R) stands for Reprobate.
BLASPHEMER! John Bhoner is such a conservative that he places the sacred R all the way to the right of his name. In a place of honor! Only an evil purist would say he put it ‘last’ (where he also places his conservatism.)
But I digress... Drink the Kool Aid SJB. Become one with Landru/Romney 2016. It gets better. We were born that way holding feet to the fire with dray powder and stuff.
Are you of the body brother? (vacant 1000 yard stare replaces 1000 batting average)
LMAO!
Wow! You are correct! I never saw it that way!
And I want a pony, too!!!!!!!
LOL!
Sometimes the obvious things are the most occluded. Is there a better reason to support republicans that that R being further right than the D?
If there is in 2015, I can’t think of what it could be.
lol... freepers NEVER cease to amaze me with their wit and spot on counterpoints. YOU are a fine example by your post. The saying goes that there’s a kernel of truth in comedy- thus the appeal. CRACK! You knocked it out of the park. Well done.
Hoping it's ammo! Lots, and lots of ammo. lol
