GOP Senate candidate Bob Schaffer has the beginnings of a website up.

In exchange for the free link we just gave him, we would be remiss if we didn't point out his browser icon. While we can, because we doubt it will be there long:

This is what happens when the tech guy doesn't talk to the image guy.

BS is right

"You'd have to hand it to the Democrats . . . and Republicans did. The Democrats didn't win recent elections as much as Republicans lost them. But those days are now over."

Those days are now over since the GOP imploded. Democrats can now hand it to themselves for winning elections.

Thanks BS!

Boy, that copy from B.S.'s web site sure sounds familiar...

Haven't I read that on this site before?

There are lots of liberal tech guys out there who are wrongly assumed to be apolitical.

honest political advertising

nice to see some honesty in politics for a change. You have to respect Bob's BS inside campaign branding.

MU vs. BS

Before this campaign is finished, we're going to be quite worn out by the jokes about the candidates bovine-related initials. Come Nov. '08, B.S. is gonna wish he had introduced himself as Rob Schafer.

Wasn't Jeff Crank the "Common Sense Conservative"

Interesting that he wants to be more like Crank. Common Sense does not describe Doug Lamborn.

Too bad Mark Udall

is named Mark, and not "Fred" or "Frank" or "Ferdinand" ... you get the idea.

On the other hand...

Apparently, conservatives now get to look sensible while Shaffer's opponents laugh at his initials. For goodness sake, do we not have anything more important to complain about?

(Besides, I think BS describes a lot of other republican candidates a lot better than the future nominee for Senate.)

The BS is gone... RIP

From the link window, at least...

Interesting that of the five paragraphs on his opening "Dear Friends" page, four of them criticize his fellow Republicans pretty harshly - and the one paragraph mentioning the Democrats (predictably and tiresomely using Nancy Pelosi's name, because gosh, we all know how much that grandmother's name drives fear into the hearts of every single American of decency and common sense) is about as lame and milquetoasty as they come.

If that's all Schaffer can say about Dems, 2008 will have a cold winter for Republicans.

so schaffer...

...is running for 7th grade class president; is that it? because it sure sounds like his critics are operating on that level of maturity. did you guys actually giggle "tee-hee" with an open palm over your lips while you muttered the syllables "b.s."? that'd almost be cute if it weren't so sad.

This seems to be S.O.P. for Pols

It's funny in a locker-room humor sort of way, which is a lot of what you'll get from Pols. If you're going to play here, you have to have shorts made of asbestos, skin thicker than a rhino, and expect from your colleagues all the sober morality and intellectual consistency of a federal judge.

Still, every once in a while, real discussion breaks out.
