Ron Johnson explains why he broke his promise to only run for two terms: “I didn’t want to do this .. but people are literally coming up to me with tears in their eyes, streaming down their cheeks saying, ‘You got to run. You got to help us save this country!”

Made me laugh, I like it.

I actually give RoJo a pass on this one, I knew he was lying when he said he would only run two terms, so that he "changed his mind" is total bullshit. Kinda like people coming up to him crying and asking him to save the country.

Or "WHY are you Republicans ruining our country?"

Or better yet, "Dear God, PLEASE don't run again! You've already done enough damage!!!"

Ron Johnson is a liar and a fabulist, but two things can be true at the same time. The Fox Valley, located in northeastern Wisconsin, could be called Very North Texas.

(If so, I would submit that in your case SIR stands for Slimy Ignorant Ratfucker.)

who are actually tearing their hair out hoping you just go to hell and stay out of the Senate?

I'll bet that's a larger number.
