Ron Johnson Wants to go to War

Well, Ron doesn't want to fight personally, but he has no qualms about sending your children to war ...

http://cognidissidence.blogspot.com/2015/11/ron-johnson-wants-to-go-to-war.html

Ron Johnson isn't satisfied with the standard Republican talking point of refusing to accept Syrian refugees in the aftermath of the Paris terrorist attacks. Oh no, he wants to invade Syria and invade Iraq for the third time:

Sen. Ron Johnson, chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, said Monday the United States should invade territory held by the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.

...

Johnson wants the United States to assemble a coalition, much like the one former president George H.W. Bush put together for the Gulf War in 1990 to push Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait. “It’s not a perfect solution, but you have to start at the head: We’ve got to destroy the caliphate, which means we’ve got to take back the territory, because a caliphate does not exist without the territory,” he said.


But rest assured, RoJo's intentions are pure. He wants to rescue all that oil, er, our freedom from the hands of terrorists. Nope, it has nothing at all to do with all of that BP stock he owns, because 'Murica! It also has nothing to do with him pandering to the paranoia, the bigotry and the xenophobia of his base. After all, it's not like he is losing badly to Russ Feingold or anything.




If you'd like to oust this prison-labor-using, climate-change-denying asshat from the Senate and replace him with a true progressive, here's your chance ...

and a map and send him off.
And make sure he takes his kids. If a guy wants a war badly enough he should always take his own kids with him.
