Tommy Thompson, Obamacare Supporter And Political Gynmast

Ever the contortionist (remember Mr. Amtrak, now on board Walker's anti-rail train?), Tommy spins away from national health care while wearing his flip-flops:

Charlotte, N.C. - A top White House adviser Tuesday put a new twist on an old charge - that Tommy Thompson supported Obamacare before he opposed it.

Nancy-Ann DeParle, President Barack Obama's top adviser on health care, was present for a high-profile meeting two years ago on implementing the federal health care law that included Thompson, who is now focusing much of his campaign for U.S. Senate on his opposition to the law...

A Thompson spokesman immediately denied the assertion by DeParle, saying the longtime Wisconsin governor had never supported Obama's health law. Brian Nemoir said Thompson would not be available for an interview Tuesday...

And we should take the word of Brian Nemoir because . . . ?

because he ran Prossers campaign?

because he never lies?

because he always is the spokesperson for every Waukesha Republican?

because he wont't let Tommy in front of a camera or a microphone on this issue?

because most of his last name forms the word that means 'dark' in French?

And Tommy Thompson--just like Mitt Romney--won't release the last several years' tax records for the 2012 voting public.
We're just supposed to trust them: no verification needed.
The Republicans' dirty great big secret is that Mitt Romney's state law from Massachusetts that was used as the basis for the nationally-legislated Obama health reform law.
Gee, why don't Mitt and Tommy want to reveal their financial activities?
