I was looking for the language where he tried to distance himself from this self-own… didn’t see it.

“I just don’t think this is going to be the big political issue everybody thinks it is, because it’s not going to be that big a change,” Johnson told WSJ.

Nothing says commitment to good governance more than running on “it’s not going to be that big a change” for 50 years.

Paid for by “stop being the stupid party.”

I just don’t understand how the moral stance “abortion is wrong!” became “abortion is cool, just not in my State”.

Don’t they know that that undermines the whole claim of doing this for the children?

Ron Johnson witnessed a partial birth abortion. He stuck his face right in there to get a good look, so he could speak about it with clarity and moral authority. Boy, was it messy!

In his original remarks, he said women from Wisconsin could just go to Illinois to get an abortion. I want someone to ask him why women in Illinois have more rights than women in Wisconsin.
