It's getting to the point where we should just turn these people out of office after a single term.
Johnson a conservative senator? hahahahahha. The guy is a lib opportunist. He’s the male version of Kelly Ayotte.
Sen. Ron Johnson distances himself from Tea Party. I’m hoping that this is a misunderstanding.
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
Purity = 'We don't kill babies'.
Willingness to compromise = 'It's ok to kill babies.

Dare I say............
“THIRD PARTY??”
The same winning strategy was used by the primary winner against Chelsea's MIL, Marjory Margolies (who was embraced by the Clintons).
HERE'S WHAT HE SAID---Brendan Boyle's commercials were running 24/7......where he looks into the camera and says, "I'm pro-choice" as words flashed that he "supports a woman's right to choose."
OTOH, HERE'S WHAT HE DID---Boyle supported legislation requiring doctors in abortion clinic to have hospital privileges, forcing the clinics to meet medical standards....which resulted in closing down many abortionists........those voting on the legislation knew full well that closedowns this would be the effect....... ============================================== Hafta admire the way Boyle handles the issue----legislation forcing the baby killers to close-up shop was pretty darn sharp. So, I don't care what he says----it's what happens when he acts that we'd best look at.
Also significant is that the wild-eyed NARAL did not want Boyle in office.....that tells you a lot, right there.
It is essential that constitutional conservatives police their own. Those who ask the Tea Party to support them better remember who brung 'em to the dance. We can't just put these schlubs into power and then ignore their perfidious actions afterwards. Johnson needs pressure now and an opponent at the first opportunity.
Well....
That approach certainly worked for Scott Brown, in Massachusetts.
The “tea party” activists manned the phones, canvassed the neighborhoods, got out the vote.....and he won.
Then he kicked them to the curb, and armed with his overflowing campaign coffers, and his army of consultants.....he got thrashed by a fake Indian....while the tea partiers stayed home and watched....
Lots of general blather there, but he doesn't provide any specifics he considers to be "bombastic" or "conspiricies", at least nothing specific in the short article.
Tea Party/conservatives need to be more discerning regarding politicians who claim either/both: Tea Party supporter and/or conservative.
Too many of these politicians run to the right for election and curve to the left to govern.
It doesn’t take that much effort to do some simple Google searching to find out who/what these people actually are.
Tea Party/conservatives need to stop projecting what THEY want a candidate to be, rather that what the candidate really is.
Not being addressed in this thread is the fact that Johnson had another alternative at the meeting: say nothing on the subject.
Why did he have a need to disparage Tea Party organizations in such general and insulting terms as “bombastic” and “conspiracies” while providing no specific examples of what he meant by those remarks.
He seems to be insulting one group of voters to curry favor with another group. W spent his second term doing just that and how did that work out for the GOP?
Johnson is a friggin’ traitor.
Well, Ron Johnson as sure acclimated to the US Senate. You can't buy that arrogance, you earn it in the Club of 100.
Secondly, if you throw you policies under the bus in the campaign, you won't be enacting those policies either. So, what's the point of winning elections to enact Democrat policies.
Third, once again, you have these broad, vague charges with NO details. Which policies are doctrinaire and which are not? It's more like, what Ron Johnson supports is not doctrinaire, while what he opposes is doctrinaire. Really helpful Ron. Moron.
TERM LIMITS are we EVER going to fight for term limits!!!
Some tea party groups are good and some are jokes. There's a problem with a lot of new "tea party" groups with "leaders" that care more about being the man-in-charge instead of advancing effective conservative candidates.
ANYBODY can call themselves tea party. Anyone can claim to be 'leadership' of tea party. Those 'leaders' all have agendas. Many of the national tea party groups also spend most of their money on consultants instead of helping candidates get election. They make a lot of noise in emails asking me for money, but don't do what is necessary to win.
Word to the wise, just because some "TEA Party" folk like him/here, just because some conservative hacks and pundits promote him/her, just because you get daily "push" emails telling you that you "really need to get behind X", you just might be buying something worse than you already have!!!
"Act in haste, repent in leisure!"
It definitely sounds like he has chug-a-lugged the Koolaid.
