Nailed it. She'll be mocked by the limousine liberals for this.

Hell - she's being mocked/trashed by the fantasy conservatives here...

I thought it was appropriate and of the proper tone to allow folks to listen to the words.

You're a fine one to lecture about "listening to the words" when obviously, you have given what she actually said very little thought.

Neither of you guys apparently paid much attention to what she actually SAID. The only thing you're paying attention to is the fact that she's a Republican.

While ignoring the fact that she's a Republican who speaks very much like someone who is comfortable with the Democrats setting the terms and Republicans merely tweaking the details.

Trebb and Crazy Ivan, tell me -- are you glad to hear her say that Congress is "back to work" on our "behalf" (ha ha), "ready to make Washington focus on [our] concerns again"? Because frankly, that's the PROBLEM, whereas Ernst clearly thinks it's the solution.

Trebb, I have news for you -- YOU are the "fantasy conservative" in this equation. The rest of us are actual thinking conservatives who recognize a weak sister when we see one, and Joni's speech was weak as a kitten.
