It seems like Ron Johnson, U.S. senator from Wisconsin, has accomplished more in the first year of his first term than multi-millionaire Democrat Herb Kohl did in nearly 25 years in Washington, and Russ Feingold did in 18 years.
What a great thing Wisconsin voters did when we voted the radical Leftist Russ Feingold out of office!
In the Wall Street Journal, Johnson explains "A 2012 Republican Strategy for Congress."
Americans are frustrated over Washington's inability to address our nation's economic and fiscal problems. That's why I have been working with a growing group of senators and House members to develop a plan that can build public support for solutions. It's called "America's Choice."
America's Choice seeks to highlight the differences between the Republican Party and the Democratic Party led by President Obama. It could do so over the coming months by presenting to the country, through a series of votes in the House of Representatives, the battle between those who believe in broadest terms in limited government and freedom and those who promote government control and dependency.
What are the choices these votes could present? Growing government spending and debt or growing the private sector and reducing government. Limiting energy development or using America's energy resources. Punishing success or pro-growth tax reform. A government takeover of health care or repealing ObamaCare and replacing it with patient-centered, free-market reforms.
The alternatives are stark. President Obama's faith in government is so strong that he has increased its size to 24% of gross domestic product from 21%, and increased our nation's debt by over $4 trillion. Republicans, on the other hand, believe long-term self-sustaining jobs are created in the private sector—that government cannot tax, spend and borrow our nation to prosperity.
...In 2011, President Obama stopped running the country and started running his re-election campaign. In his cynical attempt to divert attention away from his record by dividing us, Republicans have been put on defense. The America's Choice agenda would put us on offense.
If done well, we just might put enough pressure on Senate Democrats and the president to actually pass legislation that will begin to solve our problems. If not, Republicans will have provided Americans with a clear choice in November.
Johnson is right. Republicans should not be on defense. Presenting a clear agenda to the American people and acting on it will put the Republicans on offense.
Republicans need to grow spines.
Obama should not be allowed to carry out his divisive strategy. He must be held accountable for his disastrous record as president. The Democrats must run on their records.
Obama and the Democrats have failed. Republicans shouldn't be afraid to a succeed.
The choice in November is obvious.

Like what? Do please give an example of Johnson's accomplishments because I can't think of a single thing.
