Tommy Thompson is a fat tubby fascist

Thompson took on the unions and did a hell of a lot of good things in WI, really surprised folks are viewing him as not conservative enough.

Without Thompson WI would have long ago turned into Michigan.

I’m not much in favor of millionaires buying their Senate seat in general. That happens here in Illinois with Republicans and a lot in NJ and Connecticut. And, of course, Kohl himself.

This does not mean that Hovde would not be the best nominee. I just don’t know anything about any of these men other than Thompson whom I would call moderate-Right in ideological terms. Preferable to Herbie no doubt.

Has Palin made a pick yet? Is there a real constitutional conservative in this race for the base to send money to?

What a pantload!

Here, you want to demean one of the conservative candidates, how about going after Neumann - he’s got a long history of attacking conservative candidates too.

Tommy may be more moderate but he doesn’t frag his own guys.

Thompson left the state in deep debt and has done everything possible in his power to mess up the chances of every politician to follow him. He refused to help his Lt. Governor — wouldn’t even move out of the Governor’s mansion after he left for DC. Then, when it was time for McCallu to run for office, Thompson dithered around and refused to endorse him. Then, he was part of the cabal that truncated Scott Walker’s first race for the Governorship. That gave us 8 years of Doyle. Then, he refused every overture of the GOP for him to run for US Senate. So, we got more Kohl, Feingold, etc. Until suddenly Ron Johnson broke the impasse and actually got elected. Until now, it has looked like all he wanted to do was to have his name in the mix so that he could collect campaign cash for ???

Furthermore, he backed the ethanol mandate, Cap and Trade, and Obamacare at one time, or another. I’ve heard him in in one forum (he was mean and mad — not a pretty picture). He did not show up at other venues, although he has begun showing up recently. I definitely think that he is not conservative enough.

All the Repubs were well ahead of Tammy Baldwin last month, and now she’s pulled ahead in the latest Ras poll. Aug. 14’s primary can’t get here fast enough, so the internecine BS can come to an end. This was a very winnable seat.

Concentrate on the ENEMY, GOP!!!

See #8. Except for leaving the state in deep debt, I could say the same about Neummann, especially the way he treated Walker. And, it’s been the same story with the GOP BEGGING him to run for Senate before Johnson surfaced 2 years ago. He always refused saying that he didn’t want to live in DC.

As far as I’m concerned this is like the girl who turns down every date with her suiter and then is surprised when he doesn’t ask her to the prom.

“Has Palin made a pick yet?” My question as well. But with all the effort the Tea Party put into the recent recall elections, I haven’t seen anything on the Tea Party endorsements.

Again about 11 days away from the primary vote. Any info out there?

SCF backs Neumann. Good enough for me.

A “fascist”, eh? Is he a proto-Mussolini? After all Benito was the model for “fat, tubby fascist”. Or perhaps S.A. or S.S., Iron Guard, Falange, a Huey Long, just what variety are we talking about?

This household already has cast its 2 votes — for Hovde.

Fitzgerald guy myself, but will line up for whoever comes out ahead.

Neumann is the only one I’ll have to plug my nose for...he ran a despicable campaign against Walker.

All four are better than Tammy and that’s really all that will matter on Election Day.

Ok, I see from Neuman’s website http://neumann2012.com/ that Neuman has the following endorsements:

Sen. Jim DeMint
Sen. Rand Paul
Sen. Pat Toomey
Sen. Mike Lee
Sen. Tom Coburn

Club for Growth

That’s not too shabby WI. Neuman might get put over the top if Palin endorsed him.

I was kinda busy in my home state with Cruz and unable to see who the TEA party folks up there have endorsed. It would be a shame to see a RINO get in under the rine-ar (radar) because we lost energy after the recall.

I spoke with a local TEA party guy who was politicing outside my polling place Tuesday and he was quite winded. Taking back and righting this nation is a marathon not a sprint. God bless the grassroots wariors doing battle out there in the political trenches.
