Tommy Thompson waits until today to sel his Iran related stock

WAUSAU, Wis. -- Wisconsin GOP Senate candidate Tommy Thompson sold his stock in companies that do business with Iran on Thursday, after The Huffington Post reported his significant investments.

Thompson's revelation came during his debate against Rep. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.) at the University of Wisconsin-Marathon Center for Civic Engagement on Thursday night. Thompson has accused Baldwin of being too soft on Iran during their bitter campaign for Wisconsin's open Senate seat.

--

At times, the debate was less than the famous "Wisconsin nice," with the candidates jumping in and interrupting each other. Thompson was particularly animated during the Iran exchange when Baldwin cut in.

"Let me finish! You had two minutes. Let me finish! You want to interrupt me, Joe Biden, just give me a chance," said Thompson, referring to the vice presidential debate last week where the Biden frequently jumped in while Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) was talking. In response to Thompson's jab, audience members -- who had been mostly silent -- booed.

War is too profitable to end.... So they will hind their investments in it, while our sons, husband, fathers, and daughters fight for their profits..
