"Rep. Gardner's new attack ad is lousy with the same already-debunked lies and misleading claims, but if there were degrees of 'false', this one takes the cake," Markey spokesman Ben Marter said in a release obtained by the blog Colorado Pols.
Gardner falsely accused Besty Markey of voting for certain legislation during his campaign so are we really going to take his word on what is going on.

Either way, Gardner comes out smelling like a septic tank. As for the spin that "all pols are corrupt" so let's elect complete amateurs.......that's pure corporate propaganda. What the monied interests desire most is ineffectual dupes in office.....that way they can continue to *legally* steal from all of us and to rape the economy and he environment. The Dems are not perfect, far from it. But they are generally good. The radical extremist Tea Party alternatives are based on complete fear mongering and are funded/promoted by billions in corporate PR and commercial media support. This "gaffe" is telling on many levels.

Another person that once believed in witch craft. A person that runs an tv spot that that has nothing to do with their opponent. In florida they are backing a guy that was indited for medicare fraud and took the 5th 75 times. This what many think are the people that will make thing better.Better for who.

All Politicians are the Same Only care about how much Money they can steal from the Tax-payers. We have heard the Promises From Washington for Many many Years and have they done any of them? That would be a Resounding NOOOOOOOOOOOOO. We dont need A Bigger Government we need a Smaller Government since The government which is supposed to Represent The people but They dont They Represent Themselves and Usually Big Business or some other Special Interest Group.Get rid of the Politicians and get Rid of Most of the Problems of the world

I saw a product on the shelf not long ago: buy their product and get ours for free! I wish politics was like that, it isn't. You're not comparing a Macintosh to a delicious, you're comparing ideologies. The hierarchy of politics won't be taught in public schools because it exposes who's who. The Nat'l Ed Assoc. won't allow that because they believe Liberals support them. Well, we know today that this isn't so. How many unemployed teachers do you know? How many welfare recipients? I think Barry should have tightened our belts from the get-go ... Sorry for the tangental comment.

This is what many that are running do not understand. Every word , speech, commment can be verified. They all claim they can fix all. Not so, there is too much money in washington. Lobbyist funnel large amounts of money to congress. The folks in congress want to keep their jobs. They sell their votes for a pocket full of money for election time. Special interests are more then willing to pay as long as they vote the right way.It is no longer a matter of voting for the best person . It has become a matter of voting for the the person that will do the least damage.

Do they really want to vote Republican? Republicans don't give you an option for another party to vote for. Voting Republican is probably the worst thing you can do if you value education, the arts, gay rights, health insurance, minimum wage, abortions for rape victims and incest victims, and infrastructure spending(that's what taxes pay for dummies). I mean, if you want to elect the most hateful, cynical, crude, ridiculous, dumb, discriminatory, self-mandating slime America has to offer, then go right ahead and vote Republican. Everytime I see an ad that says "(Insert Democrat's Name) has voted with Obama 90% of the time and voted for the bailout and Obamacare" that makes me want to vote for that person 200% more! I thank everyone who is looking out for the bettering of every person in our country. I don't want people who would vote against those things.

What passport he used to get there? You're offering up the pres on a plate with a comment like that! His very existence as an American is in jeopardy, not to mention his occupational standing!
October 22 2010 at 9:31 AM Report abuse Permalink -1 rate up rate down ReplyThe GOP has multi millions of dollars being sent to third parties to trash Democrats. This piece is a reminder of just how out of touch they really are and how wrong it is to have third parties involved in our elections. The Democrats have received more donations from their core supporters than the GOP has received from their core supporters this year. So the GOP has made up the shortfall by allowing outsiders and foreigners to buy our elections. The best money can buy and they are still too stupid to get it right.

Thkis country is in such a mess..since the denmocrats took over in 06 elections. i'm a democrat..but 2 out of 5 people in my family is now out of work. i wont vote democrat again. i think the media is 75% of the problem... because you always give the democrats a free ride. i did not like bush..but everything the guy said was true, but the media bad mouthed him..now Obama is president..I voted for him..but everything he says is a lie...but the media says nothing. why is this?
October 22 2010 at 8:45 AM Report abuse Permalink -2 rate up rate down ReplyLet's give credit where credit is due, Okay? You say, "but 2 out of 5 people in my family is now out of work." Did they work for the government or a corporation? Because it would be just plain wrong to blame the government and the administration for sending jobs overseas. If they worked for corporations, it is the CEO's who killed their jobs. And who is funding these attack ads? Thanks to the conservative Supreme Court letting anonymous donors (including foreign governments) try to buy our election the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has pumped $140 Million in buying the attack ads.

Try going back and look and see what President Clinton left as a surplus and who was in office for the next eight years and what HE left the current President with. They had eight years to squander it all and you expect it to be fixed in a minute and a half? Not possible.
