Tommy Thompson was given a simple question in a recent debate, one that he knew he could not answer.
After this answer, the Wisconsin State Journal gave Tommy their endorsement because of his ability to "tackle partisan gridlock" and work across the aisle. Yes once you overlook the joke, you have to realize WHY Tommy could never work with Tammy Baldwin or the democrats anymore - because three is a crowd!
It is impossible for Tommy to work with Tammy because he already has his lab partner - ALEC!
Since ALEC is telling Tommy privately exactly what to do and how to do it, it is hard to bring a third party into the equation. Unfortunately for the great State of Wisconssss, Tommy has already Committed to ALEC and left the rest of us out in the cold!
VOTE TAMMY BALDWIN NEXT TUESDAY!

Jason Thompson Represents!
Capper wrote about Jason Thompson's racist remark at a republican fundraiser this weekend. It was so disgusting that it made national media in a matter of hours!
This morning, a press release "apology" was released from the Tommy Thompson campaign.
So Jason Thompson was not man enough or competent enough to get in front of a camera and actually apologize in person, he needed a PR person to write it and release it for him.
While we know the racial overtones that were intended in this and the whole racism in the Mitt Romney for President campaign. That is old news and with us everyday. The questions we have to ask are:
1. Since Jason Thompson is a lawyer employed by Michael, Best & Friedrich, are his views representative of the whole firm? I have not seen a statement from them yet.
2. If Jason Thompson can not even et in front of the camera's and apologize in person or Tommy Thompson can not address this in person, is that a professional or a US Senate Candidate that you would want representing you?

In a statement, Thompson's campaign said the 38-year-old son apologized for saying something he should not have. Jason Thompson is an attorney and has represented his father's campaign at some events.

Who Better???
Occassionally, republicans speak the truth. When they do, we need to listen. This time, surprisingly, it was Tommy G Thompson!
H/T Think Progress:
H/T Brinmat @ Kos for the better video:
When you have made millions of taxpayer dollars over the years, I guess he does not need medicare(but I am sure he will take every cent he can get).
Instead of asking "Who better to get rid of Medicaid and Medicare", let us ask ourselves,
H/T Think Progress:
"[W]ho better than me, who’s already finished one of the entitlement programs, to come up with programs to do away with Medicaid and Medicare? Let’s block-grant what the state has, and allow the states to determine what’s going to go into Medicaid. And Medicare, let’s wait until everyone that right now is under 55 reaches 55 by age [sic] 2020, and give them a choice whether they want to purchase health insurance with a subsidy from the federal government, or stay on Medicare." Tommy Thompson.

A. The people of Wisconsin and Tammy Baldwin!

Eric Hovde - Humble Hero
Its been an interesting week for Washington DC resident, turned Wisconsin US Senate hopeful, he went from whining about people caring about the poor, to pretending he did not say what we have on video to telling us what a humble hero he actually is!
Yes he keeps a very low profile, he does not like to talk about it, unless of course he has an audience to tell it to that is. Hovde then (as I have said, listen to them and let them tell us who they are), could not quite let it go. While he has tried to transform himself this week, he also has come full circle. He started the week complaining that the poor get too much press coverage and he ends the week upset that they actually get to eat!"I have done more for people that are economically disadvantaged than probably — and I've never talked about it publicly because I keep it very low-profile — than all but for a very few people in our society," Eric Hovde told a forum at the Madison ClubHovde then was so impressed with himself, that he "choked up" explaining all of the good he has done
You get a little emotional sometimes because, you know, you've put enormous amounts of your life work (into something) and I've given beyond what anybody normally does — time, money, effort — and to have someone make this kind of attack?"
In an interview with the State Journal, Hovde said his irritation is with fraud within the food-stamp system, which he called "massive." A system rife with fraud won't endure, and it won't be there for the people who truly need it, he said.
He said he talks equally as much, if not more so, about corporate fraud. "What we have is everybody abusing the system, from the big corporate side to the social side," he said.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates the food-stamp fraud rate is about 1 percent, costing about $750 million a year. Hovde thinks that number is "woefully off."
Eric Hovde, who used to teach his clients how to “Let Uncle Sam Pay for Your Acquisition", has taken time out of his busy schedule, of campaigning, buying vacation homes and giving to republican
politicians to actually research the US food stamp program enough that he knows that the US Department of Agriculture, who works with this everyday, is "woefully off" in their numbers. (Some quick advice for Doug Erickson - a follow up question of "what do you base that on?" would have been nice.).
This week has proven that Eric Hovde is a true humanitarian and all around amazing guy! Just ask him!
PS: Tammy Baldwin could use your help, since she will actually represent Wisconsin and not her own ego!

Eric Hovde the Trilogy!
Two days ago we brought you the story of Eric Hovde, whining about and asking for prayers to stop, the media from incessantly talking about the poor people in our country!
Then yesterday we pointed out, with the help from economist Dean Baker, that the root of Hovde's fear is NOT the debt crisis, but in fact Hovde's complete lack of knowledge and understand out the way our Government works.
Now today, thanks to some great research from Cory @ Eye on Wisconsin, that maybe the guy who on a whim just randomly buys multi million dollar houses to live in might not be the best person to talk about or help us recover from the deficit. Especially since he is doing everything in his power to keep from disclosing his own financial records!
Hovde, 20 year Washington DC resident, recently had to move back to Wisconsin to run for the Senate. So he picked up this little fixer upper on a whim.
Of course when you can buy a $2 million dollar plus home as a vacation home, there are two things that are important to you. 1. Be very happy that your dad was rich and 2. try to avoid the poor people at all costs(they bring the property value down dont you know). The question is how long will he keep the home after he loses?
