Yup. Ron Johnson Is a Girly-Boy

I was there when RoJo gave his 'introduction' speech at the Madison Tea Party rally.  It was a so-so speech, not really conservative, but certainly not Lefty.  As it turns out, that 'not really conservative' speech was a sign.

RoJo went on to defeat an absolute jerk:  Russ Feingold.  Feingold was such a jerk that his own Party members couldn't stand him.  Feingold was like Hillary, except Feingold wasn't a drunk.  Johnson won with 52% of the vote--likely due to the fact that a lot of Democrats sat on their hands.

Then RoJo started showing his colors.

...Johnson said he "did kind of spring out of the Tea Party" and is glad to be associated with it, although he did not join the Senate Tea Party Caucus following his election....

Feingold ran against Johnson again, and Johnson actually LOST a share of the vote....down to 50.2%.  That's probably because after one year in the Senate, Johnson stopped being a meat/potatoes conservative (such as he was) and gave up fighting altogether, except for goodie two-shoes legislation such as the law allowing desperate patients to try experimental drug treatments, which is admirable but not heavy-duty policy.  He is also the muscle (and dollars) behind the "Joseph project" which secures employment for inner-city Milwaukee men.  It's a damn good program and RoJo can and should take bows.

There are more signs of trouble, however.  RoJo has the Bush stance on abortion:  some babies are more equal than others (rape, incest exceptions)--yet he claims to be a Wisconsin Synod Lutheran.  The WI Synod is as theologically conservative as any church group in the US.  RoJo cannot be both a WI Lutheran AND a backer of Bush-abortion.  Sorry.  No can do.

Anyhow.

RoJo has finally signaled his complete exit from representing the USA into MIS-representing the USA.

Ron Johnson and James Lankford are seeking to amend Cornyn’s bill making Juneteenth a holiday by replacing Columbus Day with it:

OK, make Juneteenth a holiday.  IRS, State Department, and Postal workers are waaaaaaaaayyyyyy overworked already, right?

But delete Columbus?

RoJo is in full girly-man mode.

RoJo intends to run against Evers, we hear.

Good luck with firing up the base, Ronny-boy.
