I enjoy watching the GOP attack their own. Ron Johnson is being attacked by other republicans for his stupidity http://talkingpointsmemo.com/dc/jim-sensenbrenner-obamacare-subsidies-lawmakers-staff
Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-WI) issued a scathing statement on Monday criticizing Sen. Ron Johnson, a fellow Wisconsin Republican, over his lawsuit to block health care subsidies for congressional lawmakers and staff under Obamacare.
He slammed it as a "political stunt" and "frivolous" lawsuit that would, if successful, result in a brain drain of congressional staff from Capitol Hill.
"Senator Johnson's lawsuit is an unfortunate political stunt," the congressman said. "I am committed to repealing Obamacare, but the employer contribution hes attacking is nothing more than a standard benefit that most private and all federal employees receive -- including the President. Success in the suit will mean that Congress will lose some of its best staff and will be staffed primarily by recent college graduates who are still on their parents insurance. This will make it even more difficult to fight the President and his older, more experienced staff."
