Iowa Republican Joni Ernst's undying fealty to the Kochs might just be turning around to bite her in the ass. Case in point, this weekend's debate and her need to defend her call to abolish the EPA, a position that could provide great economic boon to the Koch brothers.

DAVENPORT, Iowa — Republican Joni Ernst defended her call to eliminate the Environmental Protection Agency during an Iowa Senate race debate here Saturday night, saying states should lead the way on ending pollution. […]
Getting rid of the EPA is one of several positions Ernst staked out prior to the Republican primary in this critical and extremely tight Senate race. Facing a slew of attack ads by her Democratic opponent, Bruce Braley, Ernst is now trying to reassure general election voters that her stances are reasonable.

She had to defend her huge support from the Koch brothers, too.

Ernst defended the support she’s receiving from David and Charles Koch by saying that she has never signed any pledge and has promised the brothers nothing. Braley responded by noting that she’s signed a no-new-taxes pledge.
"You attended two secret Koch brother donor meetings in California," he said. "You called them wonderful at that meeting … The Kochs have seven different organizations attacking me right now."

Sounds like she castrated herself.

1. Spayed herself, more likely.

I'd use a term related to female canines, but am refraining because it would do nothing but get me in trouble with the PC Police.

4. I am playing on the infamous Ernst ad

Cutting-edge humor there.

The pigs squeal when they see her coming.

5. God, I hope people wake up.

Now the Kochs are running ads saying how great the Kochs are. Maybe it is starting to sink in that they aren't looking out for our best interests.
