To the editor:
With her castrations dripping and guns blazing, the Internet created Joni Ernst.
On the night of President Barack Obama's State of the Union speech, the same Internet that created her chewed Ernst up and spit her out. The minute she stood up on television and the nation was able to look her in her eye and see the folksy, cute insincerity of her plastic bread bag story, it was all over.
Instead of choosing that of an intelligent role model that young Iowans would be proud to emulate, to move the state and the nation forward into the challenges of the 21st century, Ernst choose to regurgitate the bogus, do nothing for anyone except myself, Republican Party byline.
What exactly is her plan to replace the health care law? What is she doing to increase economic opportunity for women? Before she even has an opportunity to govern, Ernst showed the world her true vision for Iowa and the nation is an empty punch line with nothing there.
