What Americans Want

Washington, D.C. – Senator Ron Johnson (WI) today commented on President Obama's inauguration:

“The American people Republican redistricting elected divided government. They want the President and Congress to work together to address the serious challenges facing our nation.”

There, fixed that for you, Senator.

I am sick of both sides claiming that, "The American people want this, the American people want that," in their press releases. It strongly implies all of the American people agree on something and, as we all know, that just isn't the case for anything. There are more than 42 of us, some of the American people will support and oppose just about anything. If you want to make a genuine argument, cite quality polling with publicly released data.

Using conclusive statements for persuasion as Senator Johnson's staff did in this case is just offensive.
