New Thompson ad frames election as 'choice' over government spending
A new ad from U.S. Senate candidate and former Gov. Tommy Thompson says that the election is a choice between expanding or shrinking the size of government.
The 30-second TV ad, titled "Decision," begins with Thompson saying that voters have an "important choice" to make in November between "two very different visions for America."
"My opponent supports the government take over of health care and wants to expand government with higher taxes and more spending," Thompson says, as the screen displays newspaper headlines regarding opponent and U.S. Rep. Tammy Baldwin's proximity to "Government-run health care" and the rising national debt.
Thompson then says he'll cut spending, keep taxes low and repeal ObamaCare.
Thompson ends by saying he's "ready to lead the fight to reform Washington."
