MADISON — Republican Senate Candidate Ron Johnson has dodged 15 debates during the election, rarely releases his schedule to the media, and is basing his run on an $8 million ad campaign that explains precious few of his extremist stands on the issues.

MADISON — Republican Senate Candidate Ron Johnson, who has launched an attack dubbed “misleading” by the AP for falsely claiming the Recovery Act created jobs in China, in fact, has stock holdings that support job growth in China, including China Mobile, a firm that issues stock but is owned and controlled by the People’s Republic of China.

The Economic Policy Institute also reported that 59,100 Wisconsin jobs were lost due to our trade deficit with China between 2001 and 2007 alone.
