(SNN Milwaukee) Today Tommy Thompson officially kicked off his campaign for President. He has promised to bring “common sense” to conservatism. Thompson is best known for his threat to poison the U.S. food supply while he was secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

At the rally, Thompson laid out his plan for Iraq. Thompson called for an Iraqi government vote on whether U.S. troops should remain. He said Iraq should set up self-governing provinces to operate under the national government. And he said the country should split up oil profits three ways: one-third to the federal government, one-third to provincial governments and one-third to the populace, who he would then poison.

In the spirit of common sense, Thompson is expected to spend several million dollars and drop out of the race before the primaries.
