The irony that Dumb Ron Johnson now thinks voters are dumb should not be lost on the public. It's also true when Roll Call reported that Johnson was "...someone who talked more than he listened." The same voters that elected Johnson in 2010, are dumb, and were not "properly informed" when they reelected Obama.
AP-Johnson: "If you aren't properly informed, if you don't understand the problems facing this nation, you are that much more prone to falling prey to demagoguing solutions. And the problem with demagoguing solutions is they don't work. I am concerned about people who don't fully understand the very ugly math we are facing in this country."
Really? If that were true, then conservatives in Wisconsin must be really stupid
too…
Something kind of amazing happened in a handful of Patchcommunities: voters cast their ballots for candidates across party lines. In Fox Point, on Milwaukee's north side, voters went for President Barack Obama and US Rep. Tammy Baldwin, but sided with Republicans Dan Sebring and Jim Ott in their respective congressional races. In Whitefish Bay, there was also a split that looked like Fox Point; Obama and Baldwin won voters over, but so did Sebring and Ott.
So these “uninformed” voters reelected Republicans Sebring and Ott?
In Racine County, Sturtevant voters chose the president over Republican Mitt Romney by a single vote. They also chose Baldwin, but then threw their support to Rep. Robin Vos, R, and to Congressman Paul Ryan. Mount Pleasant, on the other hand, chose Romney, Baldwin, Vos, Ryan, and state Sen. Bob Wirch, D-Kenosha, for the 22nd Senate District.
But the real story here is the shear arrogance of Mr. Big
Talk, former accountant, and “wealth by marriage” self-made millionaire Johnson.
Johnson said he spoke with Baldwin on Wednesday, and he hopes he they can work together -- just as soon as he explains "facts" about the federal budget to her.
"Hopefully I can sit down and lay out for her my best understanding of the federal budget because they're simply the facts," he said. "Hopefully she'll agree with what the facts are and work toward common sense solutions."
Yet considering Baldwin’s time in the House since 1999, the very body of government that writes the budget, I’m sure she’ll be polite to the dumbest guy in the senate:
Johnson took office in 2011. Presumably, Baldwin is already familiar with how the federal budget works. She also double-majored in college in government and mathematics.

Senator Ron Johnson is 100% correct: numbers are SUPER HARD, especially if you have a vagina (the last time I tried to do math, I fainted from the exertion). But he's not accurate in assuming that lesbians need math explained to them. Since lesbians are just like men without upper body strength, they're fine at math. Also, Tammy Baldwin was a math major in college. Ron Johnson is a former accountant who dropped out of a night MBA program.
A few great comments followed:
1-"And the problem with demagoguing solutions is they don't work." Do these people have no shame? A tea party senator talking about Demagoguery? As part of the most emotion based batshit crazy grassroots movement since William Jennings Bryan , a group whose founding principals are essentially one part racist vitriol to one part conspiracy theory to two parts empty sloganeering, this puffed up jackass feels he can give a warning about demagoguery? Combined with Rove bitching about "Suppressing the vote" this seems to be a concerted game plan. Operation Call the Kettle Black. If over the next few weeks we see republicans accuse Democrats of being racist simpletons being led by the nose by corporate cronies and the banking industry I will die of hemochromatosis caused by excessive irony.
2-"Is there a special course one can take on Republican math?"
