In the GOP's civil war, K Street beat the Tea Party on Tuesday in the battle of Wisconsin, as Tommy Thompson edged out two conservative opponents in the Republican primary for the state's open Senate seat.
Thompson was the favorite of Beltway GOP leaders, and his campaign was funded in great part by K Street lobbying firms, Beltway-based business PACs and his own wealth, earned as a lobbyist and director of firms dependent on government for profit.

Thompson's private-sector career was also about helping big-business clients and supporting big government. As President George W. Bush's secretary of health and human services, Thompson helped the Medicare prescription-drug entitlement across the finish line. Then, after leaving HHS, he monetized that experience, going to work for companies benefiting from this expansion of government.
Thompson right away became chairman of the board of government contractor Logistics Health Inc. ("a partner to the United States Government," in the company's words), whose clients included HHS's Centers for Disease Control.
Perhaps you're not aware...Thompson is just another establishmentarian insider neocon dickweed...The kind of big gubmint republican butthole that has been dragging the party down the socialist sewer for at least the last 60 years.Perhaps you're not aware...........
of the problems trying to rely on RCP.
Any polls BEFORE yesterday's primary had the Dem candidate running against 5 Pubs.
There are times when RCP is useless and this is one of them.

How about you give us the definition of "that" TM, we know what he meant.
So what?That may all be well and true...........
but it's also more likely that Thompson is the one candidate who can beat Baldwin which pushes Pubs one seat closer to controlling the Senate.
Yeah, I know. Be careful what you wish for.

That's cruel. If you've been paying attention in here you should know she struggles over big words.

The (R)s controlled 3/3 from 2001-2006 and managed to increase spending and bloat bureaucracy in ways that normally give lolberals wet dreams...And Thompson was right there as the good little big gubmint loving party man buttboi that he is.
Douchebags like him are the reason that the democratics took over the HoR in '06 and how we ended up with Boiking.
The GOP of Wisconsin may as well have nominated Russ Feingold.
