So Johnson though that he would get the usual softballs from Mark?
Dufus.

Johnson is fighting with no arms or legs. Just runnin his mouth.
He's one of the 27 US Senate RINOs. Talk is cheap.
Fascinating. Rarely do you hear such candor and rancor. Johnson appeared shaken and speechless at one point.
I can’t believe these Harry Reid Republicans couldn’t come with a better explanation than “I voted for cloture because it was for a bill that would defund ObamaCare” when all but the lowest of low information voters know they were killing the defunding effort by allowing Reid to amend the bill to strip the defund provision after ending cloture.
Johnson wanted to know of Levin what Levin’s approach would have been to defund if he couldn’t get 51 votes in the Senate. The answer, as Cruz has pointed out, is—don’t blink. The Senate and JugEars can do nothing without the House. The people hate ObummerCare. The House passed a bill to fund the entire government except ObamaCare. The approach: when Reid says the defund bill is DOA in the Senate, tell Ole Pruneface, “Yeah, Pal? Well, funding ObummerCare is DOA in the House.”

Words are cheap, Ron.
Best moment.
Johnson: “I like the fight, I just don’t like the circular firing squad.”
Mark: “Well, then put your rifle down.”
Haha. Classic Levin.
He had that line again, “it’s permanent law.”
“Niels Lesniewski @nielslesniewski
Sen. Mike Lee just walked past the Ohio Clock with Mark Levin.”
A little tidbit from this afternoon for Lee and Levin fans.
This came to me from SCF:
Last week, POLITICO reported that Senate Republicans "lashed" conservatives Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Mike Lee (R-UT) in a private meeting for their efforts to stop Obamacare funding and for supporting the Senate Conservatives Fund (SCF).These unnamed Republicans attacked SCF and our grassroots supporters across the country because we ran TV and radio ads calling on them to join the fight to defund Obamacare.
They're mad because you're holding them accountable.
Thankfully, you have some true friends in Washington. When pressed by their colleagues to disavow you, Ted Cruz and Mike Lee refused. In fact, POLITICO reported that Cruz defiantly shot back, "I will not."
Now that's what courage looks like.
We wish the story ended here, but it does not.
Yesterday, Glenn Beck revealed the identity of the Republican senator who led the attack against conservatives and said that anyone who supports the Senate Conservatives Fund is a traitor and should be treated like an enemy.
That senator was Mitch McConnell (R-KY), the Republican Leader.
Mitch McConnell thinks you're a traitor, but he's the one who quietly worked with Harry Reid (D-NV) and President Obama to raise the debt limit, increase taxes, and fund Obamacare. He's the one who betrayed the voters in his own party and abandoned our nation's founding principles.
Unfortunately, Mitch McConnell wasn't just speaking for himself. His hostility toward conservatives is shared by many other Republicans who don't want to fight for our values.
This is a major problem and it's up to us -- the grassroots -- to solve it.
We must rise up and put these people out of business. If we work together, we can elect strong leaders who will turn this country around.
The Senate Conservatives Fund will suggest steps to take in the coming days, but for now please pray for our country. These are troubling times and our nation needs wisdom and courage to choose the right way forward.
Ron Johnson like Scott Brown and like Kelly Ayotte and like Marco Rubio are an embarrassment to us conservatives. Shame on them for betrayal.
The “thing” that gets me is these republicans still pretending the enemy (yes, Obama Pelosi Reid and their pals) want to negotiate.
Hello!!!!!
Ron Johnson was a successful businessman, but in this case you don’t have a genuine partner.
(I donated to Ron Johnson’s campaign in 2010 through Jim DeMint’s SCF)
Just last week, sent back his letter for more donation with 000 dollar with “Your last vote deserves a Big Fat Zero”, then followed up with a letter explaining why.
