Script of "Strange" (TV)

ANNOUNCER [v/o]: Tom Udall has some strange views about property.

He's against offshore oil drilling to get us off foreign oil.

(Text on screen: Source: Vote 356, 6/29/06)

But he voted for more government power to take private property through eminent domain.

And he voted to keep the death tax.

(Text on screen: Source: Vote 102, 4/13/05)

So, for Tom Udall, if it's private property, take it; if it dies, tax it; but if it's American oil, leave it in the ground.

(Text on screen: Source: Vote 350, 6/30/05, Vote 102, 4/13/05, Vote 356, 6/29/06)

Tell liberal Tom Udall that American freedom comes from American resources.
