Aside from a brief swipe at President Obama, freshman Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) avoided hot-button social issues on Thursday during her speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference.
Ernst focused instead on issues of veterans affairs, but refrained from directly mentioning the VA scandal surrounding former Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric Shinseki.
“We need to stand up here at home to ensure our veterans receive the quality of care they were promised and deserve,” the senator said.
Ernst praised the U.S. veterans as “America’s tenacious survivors,” and said that they all share “the common belief of the greatness of America.”
Amid her talk of veterans, Ernst added that she sits on the Senate Armed Services committee, and is working on pressuring the Obama administration to concoct a winning strategy against the Islamic State terror group.
“Congress must hold President Obama accountable to ensure he and his administration finally develop a cohesive and strong strategy to confront these and many other threats we face,” she said.
The pig castrator has become a R.I.N.O. castrato.

How about giving obama the tools and money necessary to do the job.
Not an option, I get it
All talk and hate while blaming it alllllllllllll on obama who didn’t help create the terrorist group we are now dealing with.
Pathetic liars and wimps

The Congress has an Advise and Consent role when it comes to POTUS stuff. We can be sure Senator Ernst hasn’t provided any useful advice on combating ISIS. She functions in “cheap shot” mode. As for Veterans, I am one and if there’s one thing we cannot stand is patronizing crap like this woman dishes out. She’s not saying it for us. She’s saying it for her.
God save us. No one else can.
She’s frigid I tells ya.
Instead of stirring the pot, she should try smoking it.
