Bill Johnson is a false conservative. Translation: Hes a neoconservative. A three dollar Bill lolol
Hes one of those big government conservatives who gives a lot of lip service to small government but actually wants the government to meddle in peoples churches and run peoples lives. He has many of the self described 'Religious Right' folks in Kentucky deceived with his slick rhetoric. He wants to waste Taxpayer money on more and more wars neocons have dreamed up for others to fight.
(like all neocons do) which will cause the US to go bankrupt.
I challenge any Johnson supporter to compare Pauls views with Johnsons. Paul is a TRADITIONAL conservative. Johnson is NOT.
Look up the term 'paleoconservative' or REAL conservative
Bill Johnson is a neoconservative. That is why he is Running against Rand Paul. Neocons hate real conservatism.
If Johnson were a REAL conservative he wouldnt be criticizing
or even running against Rand Paul.
Rand Paul is a REAL Conservative NOT a neoconservative.
Better yet.... look at these videos to understand the difference:

Read about the polling firm that ran the poll for Johnson.

This poll is consistent with Bill Johnson's internal push polls. This means that this poll cannot be legitimate. If it was, Politico and Real Clear Politics would have run at least one story each about it. The only places I have seen Johnson poll over 20% are his own website and megalomanic Mommy's blog. Nobody else takes Johnson's polls seriously. Bill Johnson: a legend in his own mind.

Do you really find this a legitimate poll?
