Ron Johnson Blames Obama's Victory On Ignorant Electorate
-snip-
Johnson's new counterpart from Wisconsin in the U.S. Senate will be Rep. Tammy Baldwn (D-Wis.), who defeated Republican Tommy Thompson.
Johnson said he spoke with Baldwin on Wednesday, and he hopes he they can work together -- just as soon as he explains "facts" about the federal budget to her.
"Hopefully I can sit down and lay out for her my best understanding of the federal budget because they're simply the facts," he said. "Hopefully she'll agree with what the facts are and work toward common sense solutions."
Baldwin has served in Congress since 1999; Johnson took office in 2011. Presumably, Baldwin is already familiar with how the federal budget works.

Note: The whole article is a good one, but that excerpt above is the kicker.

So I guess if you can get cheap labor and not provide any benefits for them then you really know how the real world works

(13,227 posts)Russ Feingold busted his ass for Wisconsin, and even as a pure progressive, had bipartisan support with voters.
And then the Tea Party/AM radio elements brainwashed the lemmings into electing this do-nothing piece of shit.

(34,415 posts)These shitheads did not learn their lesson on Tuesday. They learned nothing. We will just have to keep grinding them into dust until there is nobody left. Hearing Republicans blame everybody and everything but themselves proves they are incapable of change. So, baggers, if God told you to run why did s/he send Sandy?
Think about it...

(22,000 posts)The two senators in the state are expect to work on some common issues for the good of their state even if they don't agree ideologically. If he's going to be that way, then Baldwin should not expect any help from him nor trust him one bit. This guy is just upset that his fellow vagina haters lost.
