Tommy, why not run for Pres?
I liked Thompson. I think most republicans did too, and the current field looks a little weak
We need more GOVERNORS trying for our executive branch opening (not legislators)
Let Thompson have the Senate seat, and let Ryan run for POTUS.
Just because Ryan’s only been in the house a few years is no longer a valid argument. His experience towers over that of the current inhabitant of the White House.
Tommy Thompson is on the board of directors for Veri-Chip and was pushing as health secretary under Bush II for everyone to get micro-chipped.
F him!!!
An establishment RINO who talks the talk but doesn’t walk it.
The Presidential field is weak at the moment this is true. With the likes of Michelle Bachmann, Tim Pawlenty etc, it is awfully weak, but be of good cheer because Sarah Palin will soon be joining the field, then it will be weak no longer!
I like Tommy, but in all honesty he is better in the senate than president.
Tommy is not nearly as conservative as he was in the beginning. It is better if he can potentially do less damage in the senate than as president and do more moderate things or be steered down a wrong path.
So in a nutshell, if we had the Tommy from 1st term WI governor running, then he’d be great for president. the Tommy of today is still good but he has shifted away from the right socially and fiscally and is not the conservative he once was. The last two terms as governor showed this happening. His love for ethanol for example being a big problem.
