Institutionalized corruption.
Now what you said makes a great deal of sense. An ally in the quest to find out why that arrogant SOB is defiling the Office and our Country’s laws a second time.
He’s my Senator I’m proud to say...contact him if you like

.......I think the count now is up to two Senators that “get it”............Rand Paul and this guy!...........now we need 58 more like him to save our asses!
I stopped laughing on November 6th.
Glad Mr. Johnson finally woke up.
On FR, we’ve been awake for the last four years.
What a breath of fresh air. I hope he can stay uncorrupted in that cesspool called DC!
Ron Johnson.
I like this guy.
“And ensure a Ron Johnson would never be elected to the Senate ? Dumb.”
Ron Johnson is from Wisconsin, right? Legislature is currently Republican.
House = 58R, 39D
Senate = (2013) 18R, 15D (2012 ended = 16R, 17D because of the recalls, started out 19R, 14D)
Roughly 30 of the states lean red (not liberal).
Dumb? Really?. In 2013 how about we think before we call each other names or dismiss ideas out of hand.
This has been discussed ad infinitum here and I’ve analyzed this subject backwards and forwards. You can go look up the posts on the issue. You proceed from the false assumption that Johnson would be a Senator today based solely upon the membership of the WI legislature. What you can conclude is that “A” Republican would be in that seat, but not “WHAT” Republican would be in it.
You wouldn’t have iconoclastic Conservative types, you’d have party establishment-approved types. Either suck-ups, bosses or puppets. Those would be just the Republicans. The Democrats would be even worse, and in many states, guaranteed lifelong jobs. Illinois, for example, would not have elected a Republican Senator since 1980.
As I wrote in the other post, in Texas, you’d have had the likes of the execrable David Dewhurst (AKA DewCrist), the rich liberal RINO Lieutenant Governor, being elected in place of Ted Cruz. If enough Conservatives tried to oppose Dewhurst, he’d merely get the Democrat caucus to provide him the margin of victory, convincing them it’s better to elect him than some “rabid right winger.”
Repealing the 17th is not only a dumb idea, it would produce an even more horrid and unaccountable crop of Senate imbeciles and stooges. There’s a valid reason why that amendment was passed almost a century ago. Corruption, bossism, narrow special interests, unaccountability and plain straight-up being out of touch.
Want to know what really should be repealed ? Try civil service and the army of big gubmint leftist-statist bureaucrats with fat paychecks and obscene bennies that keep growing by the minute. Go back to patronage. You bring in all your people at the start of an administration, and out they all go at the end. No lifelong gigs and protection.
How did he vote on the “fiscal cliff” deal?
I see only 8 voted against it
For all of Johnson’s grandstanding, he voted aye. He’s as much of a joke as the rest of them.
