Walker praise highlighted in new Thompson ad

Gov. Scott Walker hasn’t made an endorsement in the Republican primary for U.S. Senate, but it hasn’t prevented former Gov. Tommy G. Thompson from using flattering comments from Walker in a new 30-second spot.

In the commercial, Walker is quoted as calling Thompson a “hero” while serving as governor for 14 years.

The ad quotes Walker as saying that Thompson “used the line-item veto successfully more than any other governor in the country, saved taxpayers all this money, cut taxes, property taxes, income taxes, obviously was a champion of ... school choice, welfare reform.”

Walker’s comments came from an recent interview with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s Craig Gilbert.

It truly makes me want to vomit to think that this sad political hack, egregious hypocrite and stooge for Big Government is trying to be our next Senator. Tommy Thompson, in case no one has noticed, is a liberal. He is also, sad to say, a liar ("If I am elected I will oppose the mandatory seatbelt law!" he thundered. Sure.)

Our property taxes went up, not down. His vaunted "welfare reform" did absolutely nothing - nothing - to change a system that stunk with abuse, and his days in Washington were spent brown-nosing anyone who had political power. He was a stooge for Big Pharma and he was instrumental in whipping up hysteria over some dreaded diseases that were going to kill us all if we didn't allow him to peddle his new (and dangerous) vaccine. The man is disgusting.

He is a near-illiterate relic who needs to simply go away and leave us in peace. But, of course, since he is a classic pro-Big Government Republican hack, a card-carrying member of the Stupid Party that never has done a single thing to stop abortion or the homosexual juggernaut, he is being promoted by the usual deep-pocketed suspects.

And on top of that, he is a dead ringer for Howdy Doody. Tommy: just go away.

I second the motion, Aged Parent. And Mark Newman vastly preferable!
