Despite claims that the campaign is not intentionally trying to propagate an image that Ron Johnson is a "self-made" man, the National Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee had the nerve to actually use the term in their latest press-release:



Ron Johnson is a self-made, successful businessman with a 30-year record of creating good jobs in his state.


This comes despite the fact that Johnson has recently feigned surprise that supporters and the media frequently refer to him as a self-made man and untruthfully claimed that he had no role in giving the media and supporters that impression. 


The truth, is that Johnson is about as far as one could get from being a "self-made" man:  His father-in-law, billionaire plastics titan Harold Curler, created PACUR when Ron Johnson (by his own admission) wasn't even in the state.
