MEMBER DIARY

Tommy Thompson will be no Ron Johnson…but he won’t be a Reid Disciple either.

RESIZE: AAA

Congrats to Gov. Thompson on a hard won victory tonight. Look forward to helping him win in November.

Thank you to all of our supporters around Wisconsin. Please keep up the fight and do all you can to help @TommyForWI win in November.

The fight is not over. Too much is at risk.

So many of you worked tirelessly for us. I’ll never forget your commitment. Now it’s time to move forward and work just as hard for Tommy Thompson. The future of our nation is too important to let Tammy Baldwin become a US Senator. The economic fate of our nation is at stake and I humbly ask you to throw your full support behind Tommy Thompson.

Conservative Friends,

I won’t be endorsing Tommy Thompson for Senate. Endorsing and supporting are two different things. He doesn’t meet my 80% enthusiasm rate, so I can’t endorse him. But I CAN AND WILL SUPPORT him just as I support all the GOP nominees (at different enthusiasm rates though). But all Wisconsinites must do the right thing and work hard to get him elected this November 2012!

Tammy Baldwin would be a disaster as senator. How big of a disaster? Consider the following facts:

  • She was rated Wisconsin’s Most Liberal Congressional Member in the last 30 years. (Source: Political Scientists Poole and Rosenthal)
  • She received the “honor” of being America’s #1 Most Liberal Congresswoman in 2010 (Source: National Journal)
  • She voted for Obamacare (and she’s never going to vote to repeal it).
  • She has received consecutive 100% ratings from Planned Parenthood and NARAL.
  • She has a lifetime rating from the Club for Growth of 3% and got a 9% this year. Consider that Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has a lifetime rating of 4%…that should tell you how liberal Ms. Baldwin is.
And the list of her liberal habits and ways go on and on. If she is allowed into the senate, she will not be a voice for any independents, moderates, conservatives, and she will only listen to her liberal friends.
With Tommy Thompson…we have a chance:
  • During his tenure as governor, he tackled welfare reform. He fought to require that those on welfare had to look for a job.
  •  In 1990, Tommy created the nation’s first private school choice program.
  • Tommy Thompson has signed the Repeal Obamacare Pledge: http://www.therepealpledge.com/status/full-list-of-signers/
  • He has been endorsed by the Wisconsin Right to Life: http://www.wrtl.org/pdf/WRTL_Senate.pdf
  • “In fact, Tommy used his veto pen a record 1,900 times to slash more than $287 million in spending. “
With Tommy Thompson, conservatives have a chance. With Tammy Baldwin, we have no chance. This November, Wisconsinites must send Tommy Thompson to be the next senator from Wisconsin. Do we have our differences with him? Yes. But our differences are more with Tammy Baldwin who will be a follower of Harry Reid’s Road to Prosperity…and his road will drive our country over the cliff. Tommy Thompson will never be a disciple of Harry Reid. That’s the difference. Vote Tommy Thompson this November.
On to Victory this November, Spoa Steph

    Tommy won and deserves support With Ryan as VP the state may send another Republican to Senate but in a presidential year!

    He had Ted Nugent, Newt Gingrich and Herman Cain on recent visits who did endorse him. Ted was at a big sportsman event.

    He is up against a tough primary in six years if he is not all he said he would be in the campaign.

    He may align with McCain, but that’s better than Kohl ever did.

    He will be out of WI for the next Governors race.

    Sen Kohl has his reasons for not running again at age 77. After 2010 he saw Feingold fall and knew he could be next despite having high turnout for his elections. Baldwin is best funded but not strongest Democrat based on a liberal Pelosi record.

    Tommy was the best known contender. The party members and its tone have moved the state right and he followed. But if he ran for governor again he’d win. He always does. He is known as Tommy and Governor Thompson.

    Wisconsin may have a new Republican senator and there are many resons to celebrate that. Kohl is out and Kohl backed Reid..

    Hmm maybe he will become a radical! LOL

    Of all the primary criticisms thrown at Tommy Thompson one had a lasting impact and that was by Jim Demint. He stated Tommy was never there when they needed him.

    If Thompson wants to be effective as a leader he must pass the Demint test and be there some of the time for constitutional conservatives.

    Although Tommy ain’t exactly a spring chicken either…
