Baldwin ad says Thompson's 'not for you anymore'
Dem Senate candidate Tammy Baldwin today unveiled a TV ad criticizing GOP nominee Tommy Thompson over his position on taxes.
The spot begins with an announcer saying Baldwin supports cutting taxes for small businesses and the middle class, and highlights her support for the so-called "Buffet Rule" to increase taxes on high-income earners.
The ad then calls Thompson "the guy who's gotten rich working for D.C. lobbyists," and says he supports a $265,000 tax cut "to millionaires like himself."
"Tommy Thompson -- he's not for you anymore," the ad ends.
A spokesman for the National Republican Senatorial Committee responded in a statement, "The notion that liberal Tammy Baldwin is some kind of tax cutter is laughable and, frankly, borders on the ridiculous."
