How Are Ron Johnson And Joe Miller Alike?
Both are conservative Republicans who latch onto Tea Party members for support.
One is a senate candidate from Wisconsin, and the other is a senate candidate from Alaska.
Both spout a disdain for the federal government and the services it at times provides for the citizens of this nation.
But both have used government programs and money for their personal gain in the past.
Ron Johnson’s company received $4 million in special low-interest government loans. The funds assisted in the purchase of equipment and plant expansion
Joe Miller receiving farm subsidies during the 1990’s from land that he owned in Kansas.
That those in the Tea Party have no problem with any of this shows 1) that they do not really care about the things they rant over, and 2) they have no higher motives than just to be elected and have power.
That would seem to make teabaggers no better than the ones they rail against.
But there is a lesson to be learned in all this.
Carrying the Constitution in one’s pocket to make a person look smart in the end only highlights a lack of principles.
