Ron Johnson: Another "self-made" Republican
The interesting business career of Ron Johnson, Republican candidate for Senate in Wisconsin and "self made" millionaire entrepreneur: He took over a business owned by his father-in-law's family. It was a plastics company that essentially had one customer: another company owned by... wait for it... his father-in-law. Ah yes, another rags-to-riches, up by his bootstraps Republican. His plan to fix the economy and create jobs? Marry well.

1. Brilliant business acumen....
Can you imagine any serious voter considering this guy over Russ Feingold, for crying out loud?

3. I actually like his plan.
Now, how long after he is elected will it be before he has matched us all up with rich suitors? I could pull myself up with those kind of bootstraps.

7. Hi, I'm Ron Johnson for senatelovematch.com
If the United States Senate can't hook you up with an trust fund baby or an heiress in 4 weeks or less, you pay no taxes for a month. That's the senatelovematch guarantee.

4. K/R
I can't believe this is the schmuck that is polling higher than Feingold. WTF is wrong with people?
