We need more war, but Obama has failed us.

Or so says US Senator Ron "Sunspot" Johnson (R-Wi).

Last week U.S. Senator Ron Johnson went on CNN's Crossfire to once again pound the war drum.

When U.S. Representative Karen Bass said, "there is real pushback, constituents in my district, the last thing in the world they want to hear is us getting into another conflict," Johnson interjected that the war fatigue Americans feel isn't because we've been at war longer than at any other time in our history, but because President Obama has done a realllllly crappy job selling them to the American people:





Damnit I hate the teabillies who voted for this asshat.

I think he should but have not heard any plans for him. Johnson must be up for reelection by now. It seems like Russ has been out of office for decades (I know it hasn't been that long) but have not heard him trying to get his seat back.
