Ron Johnson called out for incredibly stupid "on the phone" fake! The reporter noticed, "I can see your screen."

While watching the MSNBC summary of the Jan. 6th Hearings, where it was revealed, Guiliani said wanted to search for illegal "USB outlets," I saw this amazing "phone fake" by Ron Johnson. 

I couldn't find the original reporters recording, so I recorded off my OLED TV. This says it all:


Johnson's incredibly ridiculous "I knew nothing" when it came to delivery fake elector names from Wisconsin, is already an out-of-control meme...here's one example:

Ron Johnson gushes Conspiracy Theories, doesn't Trust FBI and CIA, before and now after.

Ron Johnson became Wisconsin's Senator because he didn't understand the Affordable Care Act, and hated a program offering more people access to affordable health insurance. He even said...


And it only got worse from there. In Washington, Johnson's blathering idiocy became the talk of the town:

And then he got reelected...true!

Johnson plays Trump as Victim, says he's "...never seen a president, administration, be sabotaged from the day after the election: Amazing. Let's remind our clueless Dumb Ron Johnson why that's not true either:
1. Here’s John Boehner offering his plans for Obama’s agenda: “We're going to do everything — and I mean everything we can do — to kill it, stop it, slow it down, whatever we can.”

2. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell summed up his plan to National Journal: “The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.”

3. Mike Pence, underscored the point with a clip from Patton, showing the general rallying his troops for war against their Nazi enemy: “We’re going to kick the hell out of him all the time! We’re going to go through him like crap through a goose!”

4. Even though the economy was in free fall, not one House Republican had voted for the effort to revive it, prompting a wave of punditry about a failed party refusing to help clean up its own mess and dooming itself to irrelevance.

5. Have we forgotten that right when President Obama took office in 2009, the Republican leadership in Congress planned a no-honeymoon strategy of all-out resistance to Obama, even though the country was in an economic meltdown? Then-Sen. George Voinovich (R-Ohio) said that “if [Obama] was for it, we had to be against it.”
So it's mind-bending to hear Dumb Ron Johnson whine about the supposed "attacks" on the grifting Trump family presidency:
Johnson: "I have never in my lifetime seen a president after being elected, not having some measure of well wishes from his opponents; I've never seen a president, administration, be sabotaged from the day after the election; I've never seen no measure of a honeymoon what-so-ever." 
Johnson, chairman of the Senate's Homeland Security committee, rambled from one conspiracy theory to another (just like every Trump cultist), and admitted he doesn't trust the CIA or the FBI.
Johnson: "No, I don't — absolutely not. No, and I didn't trust them back then."


So, Nothing like this ever happened under Obama? Trump Investigations plays into GOP Victim-Hood: Here's just a quick reminder below. Note: Remember Trump's own attempts to seek out Obama's birth certificate to prove he was not a U.S. citizen and a secret Muslin:
MSNBC: Republicans made aggressive use of their investigative powers ... matters involving Hillary Clinton, her use of email as secretary of state, her conduct of foreign policy and the Clinton Foundation ... House Republicans unleashed a barrage of subpoenas ... a half dozen GOP-led House committees conducted protracted investigations of the 2012 attacks on U.S. diplomats in Benghazi, Libya ... investigations of the 2009-2011 Operation Fast and Furious episode – a botched initiative against drug cartels that ended up putting guns in the hands of murderers ... investigations into the IRS's treatment of conservatives, and his administration’s loan guarantee to the failed solar-panel startup, Solyndra. And much more.
Who can forget Johnson's imagined "secret society?" 


Or this Johnson gem:


Ron Johnson now has his eye on the governorship in Wisconsin. Just a little advice to anyone thinking about moving to a state who's economy is held hostage by the gerrymandered Republican Party determined to not change a thing because after 8 years of control, everything is perfect now; DON'T.

Dumb Ron Johnson shreds career bellowing Right Wing Media Conspiracy Theories!!!

Dumb Ron Johnson started showing signs of early dementia late last week when he devoted an entire investigation...and report over the following mind-numbing theory:
The fantasy was that Medicaid expansion is to blame for the opioid crisis in the United States. The ringmaster was Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.). Johnson has been flogging this notion for the better part of a year, or longer, despite the utter lack of evidence that it’s true — and plenty of evidence that the opposite is true.
So wouldn't countries with universal health care for everyone have an even bigger problem? The fact that prescriptions for opioids are down I guess wasn't important.

Johnson wasn't done yet destroying the credibility of Homeland Security as their chairman.

The Daily Intelligencer's Jonathan Chait wrote this about Johnson's latest con over "secret society's" and "off-site" meetings the Obama deep state operatives were using to bring Trump down:
When they hacked Democratic emails, Russians were counting on a gullible mainstream news media and an unprincipled right-wing echo chamber to transform a bunch of trivial internal communications into a pseudo-scandal by wrenching them from all context. It is ironic that the current Republican effort to dismiss the very real scandal that arose from those hacks is using the exact same method.
"Secret Society" or Frighteningly Gullible Chairman of Homeland Security Ranting Hysterically? Are you kidding?


It's a stunning national transformation. What's happened to my conservative Trumpian friend in Milwaukee is now happening to every Republican; they're all spewing scattershot ramblings of disconnected conspiracy's leading to a "secret society" that meets "off-site" for the purpose of bringing down Trump. Seriously? And the drooling right-wing masses think we're still angry losers, just like they would be if Hillary had won..it's what we call projection.

Dumb Ron Johnson, a National Embarrass: NPR's David Greene wouldn't allow Johnson to wander off into Alex Jones land for a moment, and in doing so, highlighted how crazy right-wing politics has gotten. Here's Greene's interview with Johnson this morning. Jaw-dropping:



Here are Johnson's actual loud mouthed comments:



Out-of-Context Johnson BS: This tweet explains one major piece of Johnson's hyperbolic baloney pulled out of context, that "Secret Society:"


Jonathan Chait pointed out the full context and meaning of the other "misunderstood FBI emails:
1. The first wave of stories revealed that Strzok and Page had criticized Donald Trump and referred to their investigation as an “insurance policy.” It sounded extremely suspicious. In fact, a reporter who reviewed the entire context explained that they were referring to an FBI policy favorable to Trump. Strzok used the insurance metaphor — “It’s like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you’re 40” — to describe the folly of treating an unlikely event as though it had no chance of happening.

2. Strzok and Page had advance knowledge of a Wall Street Journal story. In fact, as Ryan Reilly and Nick Baumann later explained, the story in question was harmful to Clinton, and elsewhere they expressed concern about unauthorized leaks.

3. Strzok expressed reluctance to join Robert Mueller’s team, because “my gut sense and concern is there’s no big there there.” Johnson told a conservative talk-show host that this “jaw-dropping” comment amounted to a confession that Strzok knew that Trump was innocent and joined Mueller’s investigation to smear him. But maybe Strzok simply had an open mind and thought Mueller’s probe stood a strong chance of clearing Trump.

Dumb Ron Johnson's ignorance of the Affordable Care Act Stunning.


Referring to himself in the third person below, Dumb Ron Johnson released this new example of stupidity for all to see:
Johnson to Introduce Act to Allow American’s to Keep Their Health Care: Johnson said today:
“One of the most important promises made by President Obama and Democrat congressional leadership to promote the Affordable Care Act was that Americans who were satisfied with their health plans could keep them.  That promise has been broken.  More than a million Americans have been notified that the plans they like with the coverage they have chosen have been canceled.  Millions more Americans will have the plans of their choice canceled in months to come.”
Johnson is starting with a false premise: Obama didn't break his promise. Insurance companies decided to drop their coverage. BIG DIFFERENCE. Of course, business gets a pass on every immoral and ethically bankrupt choice they make, because they can, and have never been held accountable their actions.

Missed by Dumb Ron Johnson: Those same insurers are offering to help their customers move into the exchanges, their new profit center, where people will get more coverage with the same doctors and get a subsidy to help pay for the premiums. What a deal.

Johnson continues with the false premise, by essentially telling insurers to keep their costly older plans, plans that are still a part of the old failed system we’re trying to reform. Is this guy an idiot or what?
"Americans want the freedom to choose their own plans and want to be in control of their own health care. The ‘If You Like Your Health Plan, You Can Keep It Act’ will amend the law to make Obamacare live up to the promises of the politicians who sold the plan to the American public.  I will … garner support from fellow Senators of both parties who truly want to make sure President Obama honors his promise that every American has the freedom to keep his or her own health care plan."
Again, insurers are the ones who've made the decision to move their coverage for none group rates into the exchanges. We’re also talking about the costly individual market, where people or their families don’t have the luxury of buying insurance at a lower group rate. Insurers are moving into the marketplace that is more or less a “group” rate, along with competing with other insurers. 

Here's Salon's expose of the Fox News' coverage, debunking it and proving that people would rather pay 3 times as much than to allow the "government" or Obama to offer them a better deal. All In with Chris Hayes:

No one sees the world Dumb Ron Johnson sees, that's already pretty clear.

The one Dumb Ron Johnson idea that I believe should not be tolerated:
Johnson said in an interview Tuesday that Republicans and Democrats can't even agree on what the size of the problem is that they face.
Johnson's breathless panic over ObamaCare and the deficit is embarrassing enough, but he goes one step further. Dumb Ron Johnson is so insecure, that he first wants to bully everyone else into agreeing with his doom-and-gloom vision of the U.S.. We must be made aware of the size of the problem, as imagined by Johnson, before anything else can be done.

Johnson is part of the movement that criticizes Democratic legislation passed without any Republican support, but doesn't see any problem with Republican bills passed without any Democratic support.

Dumb Ron Johnson said it best himself, when he admitted he isn't swayed by the public. He's going to do it his way no matter what people think. Now that's representative government. From Upfront with Mike Gousha:

Dumb Ron Johnson says he wants to Politicize ObamaCare for Midterms.

Gee, thanks.

You can always count on Dumb Ron Johnson to spill the beans. According to Johnson, the tea party GOP strategy on Obamacare is to delay implementation so they can create as many myths and fears around something that is already doing just the opposite. He even wants to make it THE issue in the midterms. The worst that could happen is that people will get used to it, and like it, so they no longer have to worrying about losing coverage, bake sale fund raisers to pay for care, or go bankrupt.

The public plan doesn't have any of the technical issues employers encountered, so why delay it. But for talking point dummies like Johnson, thinking is out of the question.

One thing that is new and not what his party leadership wants; Johnson wants to try and pass reform bills of their own. Republicans are not in the mood to govern. The temper tantrum over two Obama wins continues.

To give you an idea of how needlessly bent out of shape he is, this headline says it all:
Sen. Ron Johnson says Obamacare is bigger threat to freedom than PRISM
Really, the surveillance program that trashes our civil liberties is less a threat? Who knew having health care would destroy the country. From WKOW:

Why are we asking Dumb Ron Johnson what he thinks about Syria? Are we gluttons for punishment or what?

Holy cow, what a media whore like Dumb Ron Johnson won’t do for attention! 

He loves getting credit for saying the dumbest things. And like Scott Walker, the media is more than willing to except the first and only responses from carnival barkers like Johnson, because it’s a fair way to conduct a “debate.” Ask a follow-up...? The idiot is revealed.

Johnson’s breathless paranoia is always front and center. Why doesn't anybody ask him why others don't share his heightened state of pending disaster?  He's got an answer:
“I don’t think Americans really have a real grasp on the significant challenges we face in this nation.”
And have you noticed how this condescending blowhard strokes his massive ego making appearances at friendly businesses and chambers of commerce? Missing of course is actual interactions with the public, who we now know don’t “have a real grasp.”

Should we assume he knew and tried to warn everybody of the impending Great Recession?

In the video below, Johnson first wants a dramatic intervention in Syria, blaming Obama for not providing a lesson every day on Syrian relations, and then a moment later, he isn't for a robust action;
Johnson: “…whether we like it or not, America is the world’s superpower, we have to lead…at this point it’s long overdue…if we’re going to do something, it should be pretty robust. I think it really should be designed to lead to the toppling the Assad regime.”


Neumann: “If we topple the Assad regime, what is there to take its place? I think that’s the one question a lot of Americans are concerned about.”

Johnson: “I’m concerned about that too. Which is why I’m not ready to say that’s what we should do.”
Huh? Ah, the power of a follow-up question! By the way, “leading” is Republican shorthand for acting first, no matter what Americans think. That’s what Republican mean by leading. We're see that thing in Wisconsin all the time.

The scariest part of the interview? Johnson’s reasons for going to war with Syria; he uses the same language used to justify going to war with Iraq. This tea party neocon is that clueless. From Capitol City Sunday, with Greg Neumann:



This guy is happy to have anyone listen to him. Let's stop doing that.

Why do hard working Family Farmers support Freeloading, do-nothing Republicans? Compare Sen. Baldwin and Dumb Ron Johnson on much needed Farm Bill.

Dumb Ron Johnson doesn't like making difficult decisions. The Farm Bill is one of them. He can’t shake the “food stamp” problem he says costs too much at the expense of doing more for farmers. Like doing what for farmers Ron, since government handouts aren't possible when you’re trying to make cuts, cuts, cuts?

But for Johnson, it’s always something isn't it?

Yet Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin stepped in, made decisions and took action. She helped pass the farm bill in the Senate:
Wisconsin Ag Connection: Wisconsin's newest U.S. Senator says she glad to see her
colleagues vote in favor of a new five-year farm bill on Monday. Tammy Baldwin called the measure, which passed in the Senate, a bipartisan piece of legislation that will help move Wisconsin's economy in the right direction.
Here’s Tammy’s view:
"Wisconsin's family farmers have been an engine for our state's economy for generations," Sen. Baldwin said. "The Farm Bill makes important investments in our rural communities and supports an industry critical to our state's economy."
Johnson voted against it:
But GOP Sen. Ron Johnson doesn't feel the 'Agriculture Reform, Food, and Jobs Act' does enough to help farmers. He's argued for months that the program contains too much money for food stamps. "About 80 percent of the spending in the bill will be spent on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program," Sen. Johnson said in a statement. "That is out of control … This bill is simply not targeted to help farm and dairy families dealing with over regulation, misguided federal policies, and weak demand brought on by terrible economic growth."
Really? Let’s see if that’s true. Johnson rejected:
Several of the key provisions in this year's farm bill include providing training and access to capital to new farmers; creates manufacturing jobs by growing bio-manufacturing to replace oil-based products; increases the ability for farmers to sell what they grow in their local markets; and expands export opportunities for American farm products.
Dumb Ron Johnson walked away, leaving Tammy Baldwin to pass and include the following additional aid:
Baldwin says the Specialty Crop Block Grants will help support research for crops like cranberries, potatoes, ginseng, and cherries. The Beginning Farmer and Rancher Opportunity Act to provide tools for farmers including technical assistance and training programs, as well as matching funds for savings accounts and lower loan rates. And the Rural Energy Investment Act will provide funds for renewable projects including anaerobic digesters and investments in biofuel crops.  Meanwhile, the Dairy Security Act was also part of the Senate's version of the farm bill with the controversial market stabilization program in place. 
What’s not to like Ron? Oh yeah, food stamps for those still effected by the Great Recession thanks to the "free market." Baldwin helped both sides, standing with farmers and added:
Chippewa Herald: “The bipartisan farm bill makes the most significant reforms to farm programs in decades,” Baldwin said. “It ends unnecessary subsidies like direct payments, eliminates duplication, and streamlines programs to save more than $24 billion.”

She pointed out that the average age of U.S. farmers is about 60. “Many of them inherited or were able to buy into a family operation. That’s getting tougher and tougher these days. That’s why we have to start investing in a new generation of farmers and ranchers,” Baldwin said. “The farm bill provides training programs and helps new farmers access important tools, land, and capital to get their operation off the ground.”

Middle Class Duped, Ripped-off!!! The Dumb Ron Johnson Promise not to pay back borrowed money from Trust fund

The bizarre Republican campaign to stiff the middle class, by not paying back the borrowed Social Security Trust Fund money is getting little if no media attention.

Congress has been raiding our Social Security retirement trust fund for decades, to spend on tax cuts among other things. Now, the Republican tightwads in the tea party want to walk, and not even pay it back.

Before we reform the tax code and make spending cuts, why not pay off our bills first? That's if Republicans really want to save our kids from the crushing pain of deficits. Instead, the Republicans want to leave the Trust Fund empty, and steal money from our kids Medicare and Social Security benefits in the future, by reducing what they'll get in retirement.

It almost takes your breath away. Am I the only one who's noticed?

Dumb Ron Johnson is even telling us that point blank. But the money isn't gone, it's borrowed. It's not "worth zero," as Johnson claims, unless dumb Americans can be lead by dumber Americans like Johnson.



Talking point Tips: To make it easy...here goes.
Republicans refuse to pay down their debt after spending like drunken sailors.

Republicans refuse to pay back the money they BORROWED from the Social Security Trust Fund.

Republicans are stealing from our kids Social Security and Medicare funding by reducing their benefits so they can reduce taxes today.

The Absurdest World of Dumb Ron Johnson.

You didn't think I'd miss out on one of the most revealing speeches yet, about the radicalization of the Republican Party, by our own Wisconsin tea party alarmist Dumb Ron Johnson did you? Only David Horowitz could bring out the ugly.

What Johnson lacks in local face time with his constituents, he makes up for in appearances at elitist conservative events that do nothing more than stroke his ego-maniacal nature and deep seeded insecurities. So let's start:

In Johnson's fantasy world of doom: Obama has only made things worse?



"...if you have a balance approach...obviously, that's not going to work." But in reality, the news today was less than apocalyptic, to say the least:
AP: A burst of hiring last month added 236,000 U.S. jobs and reduced the unemployment rate to 7.7 percent ... suggested that the economy can strengthen further despite higher taxes and government spending cuts. Another day of stock gains would give the Dow Jones industrial average its fourth straight record close.
Of course if Romney had won the elections, he would have been full credit for this incredible turnaround. But there's so much more. It's a strain to watch this guys ego inflate before your vary eyes isn't it?

The Size of Government Myth: Dumb Ron Johnson blows absolute nonsense out of his ass when he claims the size of our government is the root of our problems. No documentation. Dare I suggest the size of our banks and the power of a deregulated Wall Street might be our real problem?



Corporate Education: Johnson proposes re-educating Americans through Big Business, not our colleges. And by turning companies into politically intimidating workplaces. He wants to put the corporate elite in charge of our country. Can you say creeping fascsim? Scary stuff:



Only Wealthy Elite get Health Care Freedom: Johnson got into politics because he completely misunderstood Obamacare. In his rant, he brags how he was able to to the best hospitals, shop for the "best surgeons in the world to find out what is the most advanced surgical technique," a luxury not many in our country have...and it was getting worse:



Social Security, like an Abscessed Tooth, needs to be Extracted: I did not know we liberals were trying to addict Americans to government. Conversely, what about that Koch addiction?



The 60's Radicals took over the Universities, the Law and Journalism: Johnson: "So it's not surprising we have a problem." 



The Welfare Queens are back: For Johnson, compassion and sympathy doesn't work. "Take a look at the affect of the unintended consequences of all our good intentions." 



The Cost of College Tuition, Blame the Government: Blame Republicans. Johnson doesn't realize draconian cuts by Republican legislatures have forced colleges to raise tuition dramatically. That in turn prompted assistance from a federal loan program. He doesn't really know this?



Johnson, Bachmann and Gohmert keep the spirit alive: "This countries far too precious to give up on it. The American spirit is alive. It might be a little imperiled with Obama in office...!"  I think he's saying liberals, Democrats and progressives need to be eliminated?

MSNBC's Alex Wagner: "Ron Johnson is intellectual Kryptonite, you get to close to him and your brain cells die."

I forgot to throw this clip on last week when John Kerry utterly embarrassed Dumb Ron Johnson. What I like about it is the response from Alex Wagner, who seems to get just how bad this guy is with no help from yours truly. This is how the nations sees Wisconsin's senator.

Soledad O'Brien tries to Reason with the Sick Mind of Dumb Ron Johnson.

CNN's Soledad O'Brien was never able to get Dumb Ron Johnson to think through, and respond to his own spontaneous dumb comments about Hillary Clinton. This is conspiratorial lunacy, and shouldn't be lost on Wisconsin voters the next time around. Johnson is a Benghazi Bamboozler.

I'd like to hear Johnson's reason why the administration would lie and mislead the country about the attack. Why, please? My guess is that most Republicans like Johnson, not so secretly agree with the anti-Muslim video that came out and upset the Middle East, one of the first possible reasons for the attack. They would prefer to tag the Obama administration with a "terrorist attack" like the great almighty Bush had on his watch. Rand Paul after all did say they were equal in his twisted little mind. Paul also wanted to slash security funding for our embassy's by 75 percent. On the House side, no ones asked Paul Ryan why he decided not to take up the senate bill on funding. Maybe it's Ryan's fault.

Soledad stayed on point, which befuddled the scatter-shot Johnson.

Now Dumb Ron Johnson wants Democrats to make Draconian Cuts for Him and his Freeloading Republican Teabillies.

It’s enough to make anyone with half a brain to stop and say, oh no, Dumb Ron Johnson said what?

Check out the lunacy of Johnson’s statement, and the 2 charts below showing the reasons we have a deficit. It oddly doesn't have anything to do Social Security and Medicare. So why is Johnson and his fellow Dickensian losers insisting on going after seniors? Mount Pleasant Patch:
Although I strongly prefer extension of current tax rates for all Americans, I supported the compromise bill that protects 99% of Wisconsinites from an income tax increase, The revenue raised by this legislation will equal approximately 7% of projected deficits.
Here’s where these “courageous” “leaders” pass the buck on making draconian spending cuts to Social Security and Medicare. 
"It is now time for President Obama and his Democrat colleagues to show the American public their plan to close the other 93% of the deficit…"
Wait a minute, I thought Republicans were the ones with the long list of cuts? Hey Ron Johnson, show us your leadership, and planned cuts with justifications. Johnson repeated his demand, insisting the Democrats make the draconian Republicans cuts for them. Courage, leadership?
"Now it is time for President Obama and Democrats in the Senate to show the American people their plans to save Social Security and Medicare, and to address the remaining 95% of our annual deficit…"
Never one to do their own work and take the heat for their proposed cuts, Johnson made the point perfectly clear again:
"Where is their spending reduction plan?"  
And just to make things worse, Johnson has every intention of ruining the full faith and credit of the U.S., resulting in higher interest rates paid by taxpayers. Is this guy dumb or what?
"This U.S. Senator will not vote to increase the debt unless serious spending reductions are part of the package."

Dumb Ron Johnson, a Prisoner of his own Twisted Reality

Dumb Ron Johnson has a reality problem. If reality doesn't fit into his narrow little interpretation of the world, he panics. His whole career is based on panic, since he ran for office to stop the horror of health care for all.

Interviewers never ask the big question of Johnson; You claim Obama won't negotiate, and yet, you and the other tea party members won't sign onto any budget that includes a tax increase. So why should the senate pass a budget if you're only going to reject it or filibuster it?

It's a simple question. WKOW's Greg Neumann does try to get Dumb Ron Johnson to take repeal of Obamacare off the table, since that's no longer a possibility. Of course, Johnson didn't budge.

Dumb Ron Johnson voted against the Disabilities Treaty!!

A few paranoid and not too smart Republicans voted against the Disabilities treaty in the Senate: 
WSJ: Voting 61 for and 38 against, the Senate on Dec. 4 failed to reach a two-thirds majority needed to ratify an international treaty to prohibit discrimination against persons with disabilities. The treaty is modeled after the 1990 Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), which guarantees equal treatment for the disabled with respect to employment, government services, telecommunications, public accommodations such as transportation and other "major life activities." More than 154 nations have ratified the treaty.
Our own Dumb Ron Johnson acted accordingly:
All votes against U.S. ratification came from Republicans, who argued the treaty could lead to the United Nations infringing on U.S. sovereignty and home-schooling. Supporters noted that ratification would have no impact on U.S. laws and policies and that the treaty could not form the basis of lawsuits in U.S. courts. Any proposed future impact would need advance congressional approval.
A yes vote was to ratify the treaty.

Voting yes: Herb Kohl, D

Voting no: Ron Johnson, R
Thank you RoJo the Clown, for protecting us from some imagined threat to home schooling and U.S. sovereignty.

Dumb Ron Johnson Blames Obama's No Compromise offer, for not taking his No Compromise Offer. Huh? New Glarus Brewing Featured.

Dumb Ron Johnson has done everything he can to shape reality around his odd little talking point world vision. He doesn't even know it's a party con on the American people. He actually believes their own propaganda.

Penalize the job creators? Did we penalize the "job creators" in the 50's and 60's when the tax rate was 91%? Did entrepreneurship stop working back then? Of course not, because there were other competitors wishing and hoping those in front of them would go away. And that didn't happen.

Another thing, wasn't it the Republicans who wanted to cut, cut, cut? Why aren't Republicans like Johnson coming up with their own list of cuts. Why are they waiting for Obama? It's time RoJo the Clown gave us his list of cuts.

NBC's anchor kept trying, and finally got Dumb Ron Johnson to admit he too had no plans to compromise or raise taxes. In fact, he's proud of signing Grover Norquist's brilliant idea, a juvenile gimmick Norquist came up with when he was 12 years old. Doh!

Watch the accident. Johnson is the most pathetic blowhard to ever embarrass the state:



Real small business owners, and not the kind who married into business success like Johnson, have a grounded and realistic perspective. Oh, and less bombastic. Here's New Glarus Brewing's Deb Carey on Channel3000:

Dumb Ron Johnson gets the Big Ed Treatment...

Ron Johnson: "If you aren't properly informed, you don't understand the problems..."

The irony of Ron Johnson calling Obama/Baldwin voters uninformed, was not missed by most Americans, especially the folks at the Ed Show. With just a little research, Ed turned up an interesting fact; the most educated states voted for Obama.

But not being "properly informed" might mean something completely different to Johnson. Maybe not enough people have heard dumb Ron Johnson's version of reality and upside down economics.



From an editorial that sounds eerily similar to my own comments here, the Appleton Post Crescent wrote this:
Thumbs down: To Sen. Ron Johnson, for his less-than-gracious response to Democrat Tammy Baldwin being elected as the state’s junior senator.

“Hopefully, I can sit down and lay out for her my best understanding of the federal budget because they’re simply the facts. “Hopefully, she’ll agree with what the facts are and work toward common-sense solutions.”

You get the feeling Johnson’s talking about his version of “facts” and not actually, you know, facts. And Baldwin certainly doesn’t have any understanding of the budget after being in Congress for ... nearly 14 years. That’s compared to Johnson’s less than two years.

Johnson also offered this explanation of Obama’s victory: “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.”

This from the guy who was elected solely on “demagoguing solutions.”

Dumb Ron Johnson on compromise, his way.

Is he stupid or what?

Dumb Ron Johnson should listen to himself speak sometime. Heck, if we're forced to listen to this complete idiot...! Here's Johnson criticizing Obama for his no compromise position on a balance approach to our fiscal problems, all the while taking a no compromise position on increasing revenue. My head hurts every time I here this guy stutter and stammer.
Johnson: "What we're faced with is a president who seems to be not willing to compromise at all, just saying it's my way or the high way. Let's punish success, let's increase taxes on small and medium sized businesses which, I'm not going to support..."
AARHHHH! It doesn't increase taxes on small businesses. Please, someone, start running now against  this intellectual black hole...

Dumb Ron Johnson to "lay out for (Baldwin) her my best understanding of the federal budget..."

From Hurricane Sandy, to accusations (“I know you are but what am I”) that President Barack Obama is "suppressing the vote," conservative projection is off the Richter Scale.

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?"
