INDIANA: Libertarian switches to Republican to run for Congress

From Eric Dondero:

Talmage "T.J." Thompson was the Libertarian Party nominee for US Congress against conservative firebrand Rep. Mike Pence in 2010. Now the 27-year old plans to run in the GOP primary for the vacated Pence seat for 2012.

From his website:

TJ Thompson is the new generation of Hoosier Politics. Throughout his adult life, he has been leading the fight for Freedom and Liberty in Indiana.

From TheRepublic.com:

“Our nation is balancing on a razor’s edge — teetering between freedom and failure,” Thompson said in a press release. “Throughout my adult life, I have led the charge for freedom: examining legislation, educating voters, writing Congress and running for office.”
