Ernst will give Iowa a voice again

This election gives Iowa a rare opportunity to mean something again. For decades, Sen. Tom Harkin has voted the party line to cancel out Sen. Chuck Grassley's Senate vote and Iowa has been a big 0 in national matters. No voice at all. Electing Joni Ernst will give Iowa the chance to have matching votes in the Senate. Iowa could have a voice once again. They may not always vote the same, but there is the opportunity to have a voice. Something we never had with a Democrat senator always opposing a Republican vote.

If it is one tactic the Democrats have defined, it's the adage: 'If you tell same lies long enough, people will believe it.” Democrat commercials have been spewing hate, envy and class warfare so long. I don't think they stand for anything except amassing more power over you. Obamacare and cutting vets benefits, while exempting themselves, are two examples of bad legislation.

Ignore the smear tactic of the Democrats' campaign commercials and think about these few things. If you still cannot make up your mind to vote for Ernst, then look into the eyes of these two candidates and see into their souls.
