New DSCC ad says Thompson "not thinking about you" on Medicare
A new ad from the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee once again ties Tommy Thompson to special interests and says he plans to "gut Medicare."
The 30-second ad begins with video of Thompson with his name displayed with the title "partner, Washington lobbying firm." The narrator then asks "When Tommy Thompson talks about Medicare, what's he really thinking about?" The ad then zooms into what is supposed to be his brain.
"The special interests, how Tommy Thompson sold his influence and connections to them, making millions," the narrator says. "Or Thompson's plan to gut Medicare, which would cost seniors over 6,000 more a year, to give more tax breaks to millionaires."
The narrator ends, as the camera zooms and focuses back on Thompson, "Whatever Tommy Thompson's thinking about, it probably isn't you."
