Joni Ernst, a Republican candidate in the GOP Senate primary in Iowa, is touting her experience “castrating hogs on an Iowa farm” to underscore how emphatic she will be about ending pork barrel spending in the U.S. Senate.

“I'm Joni Ernst. I grew up castrating hogs on an Iowa farm. So when I get to Washington, I'll know how to cut pork,” Ernst says in the ad, followed by the sound of a pig squealing.

The ad, which was provided exclusively to Breitbart News, will appear in television spots in Iowa. Ernst ends the ad saying, “Washington's full of big spenders. Let's make them squeal.”

I think it's her smile. It was a little plastic looking. But that might just be because she was nervous and they kept on with the "Big smile, Joni. Big smile!" crap.

the whole we're all in a collective debt thing is an orchestrated lie. I don't owe ANYBODY money. If someone takes out a loan in my name without my permission, I don't owe that loan since someone else committed that in fraud. Thank you for your time.

Don't get me wrong, I'm right there with you.
I wholeheartedly believe that default isn't just a viable option, it's the BEST option.

I had hoped that my tongue-in-cheek reference to the disintegration of the government (Ok, I lied, that's the best option) would have demonstrated I was attempting to think like a fairly generic military-fellating theocon.

I'm a little weirded out too, but I will say that saying something bizarre to stick indelibly in the voter's memories is just "politics." As a non-interventionist who opposes the militarization of the police, I have been known to say "That's Bradley, like the Bradley Fighting Vehicle, UUHRAH!" Anything you can do to really stick in memory without pissing off most of the population will help at the ballot box. What this lady does here will stick in people's memories, I guarantee it.

I am not, however, defending it. There is something kinda off about this. My guess is she's probably into kinky sex, and the script gave her horny giggle-fits.

Yes. Here in Michigan we voted for a nerd because we need "one tough nerd" to be in office. I'll tell you this - even though I had heard many commercials from many different candidates during the campaign cycle, Rick Snyder was the only one i even knew about other than the libertarian Ken Proctor, and it was all due to his campaign slogan "One Tough Nerd." I actually think that, along with his get-it-done attitude won him the race, not his values and politics.

Edit: and the reason everyone is weirded out is because she is reading a poorly written script and can't properly act it out to make it sound good. Humans can detect fake smiles and emotions very easily.

I had to castrate piglets when I was a kid, calves too, and crop the tails on lambs and dehorn calves and snip teeth on piglets. At least the chicks already had their beaks cropped when we got them. I hated those chores, probably why I couldn't wait to get off of the farm.

Can't support her because she is filming inside a hog confinement. Animals were not meant to live in those conditions. I've worked in a hog confinement by the way. Not only are hog confinements bad for the animals. They are bad for the people who work in them. Confinements destroy property values. I made a vow to myself a while back I will never work in a hog confinement again. I'm a hypocrite by the way because I like eating bacon.
Another thing I did a quick five minute google search on Mrs. Ernst and I'm not surprised by what I found.

The overall reaction to it is why folks like me wouldn't bother running for office. It's also why "boneless" chicken tenders are what kids eat today.

But I doubt she'd cut much of any spending. She's from Iowa.

No, there's something not quite right about it. Maybe a bad voiceover? Maybe it's that she's a little too polished to be natural? Getting a little "uncanny valley" feeling.

castration of farm animals is usually done by using an industrial srtecgth rubber band to cut off blood flow to the testicles. They then whither up and fall off with no cutting necessary. I saw it on "Dirty Jobs" once.

Don't believe everything you see on tv. Sure it's done that way but the blade method is done just as much.

I remember seeing an interview with Mike Rowe talking about this issue. He stated that they (the tv people) had confronted some animal rights groups to find what the proper way of doing it was. They said it shouldn't be done at all, but if it must be done then to use the rubber band method. When Mike Rowe was on the scene of one of these places he talked to the worker there about how to do it and the worker almost laughed at him. He put one of those rubber band type things around the animal and the animal immediately began to scream (wouldn't you?) and ran off to a corner where it sat down and ignored everything else going on. The worker told Mike Rowe that it would take a week or more of intense pain and discomfort for the pieces to eventually fall off. The worker then showed Mike the other method where he simply sliced it off with a knife. There were a few minutes of pain, but after only a short amount of time that animal was back to running around and doing its thing, while the other was still sitting in a corner. Mike Rowe said he learned a lesson that day - that the perceived "humane" way of doing something is not always best.

Yeah it takes a week or more. The scrotum loses circulation and just rots off from the body. It both stinks, is painful, and wastes meat. That doesn't surprise me that PETA would support the the most painful method.

I've done both of these methods on cattle and I prefer to cut rather than a band. The whole reason the banding is done is to save time and labor. It's easier to do from a processor's standpoint.

I've heard of the rubber band method used on calves, but I don't know how it could be used on piglets as the testicles don't protrude from the body at the age we removed them. It's less physical trauma to castrate at a young age than to wait for things to develop and mature.

As a young lad I learned to castrate pigs, a sharp knife was used, no rubberbands.

The timing was a dream—Ernst, who was already getting free media (from this site, among other places), was in the right place to start denouncing Braley's now-revealed anti-farmer agenda. While she was getting lightly mocked by The Tonight Show and blogs, she was standing strong with the embattled Iowan farmer.

HOG CASTRATING CANDIDATE'S NEW AD: RIDES HARLEY TO GUN RANGE AND 'UNLOADS' ON OBAMACARE

http://cdn.breitbart.com/mediaserver/Breitbart/Big-Government/2014/05/04/joni-ernst-shooting.jpg

Joni Ernst, the Republican Senate candidate who received national acclaim for a campaign ad touting her background “castrating hogs on an Iowa farm,” rides her Harley Davidson to the gun range for some target practice in her latest spot.
Ernst “carries more than just lipstick in her purse,” a narrator on the ad says, adding that “once she sets her sights on Obamacare, Joni's gonna unload.”
Ernst has a concealed carry permit in Iowa, and according to an Ernst campaign aide, the impressive accuracy wasn't a television trick. Ernst took the shots herself that resulted in a tight spread on the target sheet, the aide said.

It's also her motorcycle in the ad, a Harley Davidson Softail Deluxe.

Ernst is holding a slim lead in the race in public polls despite being significantly outspent by Mark Jacobs, a wealthy businessman. Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin recently endorsed Ernst and appeared at a rally with her in Iowa a week ago.
