Who is doing his TV… it’s AWFUL
Nevermind — I’ve seen better from high school students
His 1st ad was unappealing, period.
This one’s produced the same way. I’m sorry Senator, but the People in Washington County and the rest of Colorado are MORE THEN “looking to get by”.
Hint: find a proven media consultant
Title…then post. It makes it easier to read.
but Laughing Boy is right. Putting your entire comment in a subject makes it all bold, which makes it seem like you’re screaming all the time. In addition it makes reading the page harder.
K. Fair enough. I’ll bow to convention here!
The f’in public school edumication got me’s again.
The f’in public school edumication got me’s again.
Libertad’s one redeeming quality (or, more precisely, one defect not possessed) proves to have been a mere chimera after all….
This ad is funded by corporate cash. The person I’m supporting doesnt advertise on TV because it is owned by corporations.
We reach people the Grassroots way, by chopping up MB’s commercials, inserting negative commentary , posting it on Youtube and sending it over facebook!
No corporate cash for us! Did I mention Andrew doesnt take PAC money?
Your work is over- I’m now convinced.
When in the last year has Bennet “listened to Colorado”?
Per my policy of following up every otoole post I can by showing he’s a pathological liar and a coward:
http://www.coloradopols.com/sh…
I respect those taking the “ignore otoole” tactic, but I’m going in the direction of making clear that every time he posts, he’ll be publicly embarassed with his own dishonesty, cowardice, and general asshole-ness.
things about Michael Bennet. O’Toole has said some things that indicate to me he/she (I won’t out the Tool) will do anything or everything to visciously attack Senator Bennet at every turn, and all who support him. (Check out O’Toole’s page and see for yourself. It is even crazier over at S2). Ironically, O’Toole’s constant hate speech turns people off to his/her candidate, Andrew Romanoff, and brings them over to the Bennet campaign. You would think Andrew would have enough sense to reign in the loons, but he doesn’t. There is no way hate would get a pass at the Bennet campaign. Ever.
of all the venom spewing, lying and bashing that goes on here you are the worst. I am not following you from blog to blog we are on the same ones.
If you cannot take criticism leveled against your guy then you are in the wrong place. I don’t blame you for what you write you just are a good soldier.
You are two faced – ask for people to be nice then make outrageous and disturbing comments about him elsewhere. You set yourself up for what you get and I am not the only one who thinks that.
As I have said before just tell me why YOU, without looking at talking points, support Michael Bennet. I have been asked and I have answered (I think MADCO asked me). You Bennet supporters need to be reined in.
Romanoff has no idea who I am and you have no idea who I am so PLEASE STOP ACTING LIKE YOU KNOW WHO I AM BECAUSE YOU DO NOT!!!!
I thought you were a pretty girl. Uh oh.
looks like that guy then yes:) I will give myself a little credit – I am slightly better looking that him
It’s the lyrics, man.
I hope they will read the comments and the diaries. Your name-calling and personal attacks are the rule, rather than the exception. I feel sorry for you, Tool. I wish you some peace in your life, really I do.
When you were lying that he would vote against healthcare? I recall you saying something about it equaling murder of millions…but that was probably just in a diary you deleted later
you can make up anything you like, Stryker. There is no evidence anywhere for what you just said because it never happened. But thanks for the tip — I just figured out who you are, too. The delusional thing really helped.
Peacemonger — everyone is tired of you claiming you know who everyone is. You don’t. And yes — you said Andrew fighting for a real bill was akin to murdering millions. There is a general rule — the first one in an argument to compare the opponent to Hitler loses. To be clear, that’s you.
Go back and read all my comments.
by insisting Bennet go against the advice of the President and 300 Dems in Congress and 186 national health care groups to make an amendment during the reconciliation bill process, Romanoff was attempting to defeat the bill for all Americans. The initial health reform bill benefited millions of Americans — the reconciliation bill additions added health care for about 2 million more. Romanoff would have taken health care out of the hands of two million people to make his political point. Good thing Bennet listened to all the Democrats in Congress and the 186 national groups and ignored Romanoff’s foolish demands. Bennet cared about the people; Andrew cared about his ego and his campaign.
Hitler? Ah, no.
was a pure political stunt, ignoring facts and whom it might hurt. remember, he also said he would not have supported the original bill either. I don’t think this is the type of person i want as my Senator – willing to grandstand to make a political point and the people be damned.
This is politics. It is dirty. If you mess up even a hair you get called out. That is the way it is. If you can’t handle it get out. I am a big boy (there is a little help for you to figure out who I am) and I can take what ever you send my way.
But didn’t I complement you on S2? How soon you forget that when you do something/are right I will be the first (actually the second on S2) to complement you. The problem with you is the unwillingness to ACCEPT anyone who is on the other side. I am fully ready and willing to discuss substantive issues in this race. I will rationally and factually advocate for Romanoff as I am sure you will passionately advocate for Bennet. The difference is that when you are challenged you change the subject and/or leave.
If that feels like it happens frequently, figure it out.
and I have no idea who Sharron is
“If you want a friend in politics, buy a dog?”
You still are confusing me with someone else
You can spin facts to make them look like lies but they are still facts. I realize that Bennet’s campaign is the the best at spin but you are just bad. If you want to refute my facts do it WITH FACTS-you can’t.
By the way calling me a pathological lying sack of shit does not scare me.
And when was the first time I met you? I really cannot recall. That is right – I never have. So however you think I am you are wrong.
And again, here are the facts of your lies, not that you care: http://www.coloradopols.com/sh…
Again: I own you. But you’re worthless, so that actually doesn’t mean much to me. How you have so little self-respect that you keep coming back after being exposed as an obvious liar… well, that’s just sad.
but never here on CoPols.
I’ve asked- you’ve never answered.
when people disagree with you. I guess you come around and realize that you’re lying everywhere and someone might catch you (like he has so often).
Wow, I thought that phenomenon was limited to Sharon Hansen and JO.
At least peacemonger hasn’t deleted ALL of her diaries. That dubious honor goes to the Dynamic Duo.
dissolved into personal attacks and hate-speech. It was a disservice to CO to leave those up there. The diary is duplicated on Pols anyway.
Raymond you are right. I am a liar. I work in the world of fact. You, your friends and Sen. Bennet live in an alternative universe where anything that does not come from the Bennet campaign is a lie. It is kind of like Bennet math – when you loose you actually win.
Also – one year? What are you referring to? DO you also think you know who I am? Because you don’t. I will issue the challenge to you as well – if you think you are so smart out me. I am giving you permission. You will fail.
Here are the bald-faced lies you’ve posted and didn’t even try to defend when I called you on them:
(1) denying Bennet co-sponsored legislation he clearly did co-sponsor (http://www.coloradopols.com/showComment.do?commentId=287125);
(2) falsely accusing Bennet supporters on Pols, “Some of you have even used the phrase ‘my campaign told me’ in your posts. You are holding yourself out as a mouthpiece of the campaign.” — notably, otoole never said who wrote that or where, when I repeatedly asked him who said such things (http://www.coloradopols.com/showComment.do?commentId=287121)
(3) saying an anti-Romanoff diary “shows that … the Bennet crew getting very nervous about Romanoff’s momentum” even though it was written by a righty Constitution Party member, and no Bennet supporters even defended the diary (http://www.coloradopols.com/showComment.do?commentId=291491)
(4) and the ever-hilarious first otoole post bragging, “I have sat with Presidents, legislators and world leaders and I can tell you…” to scold Bennet supporters. Yeh, we believe THAT, tool…
Go ahead, I dare you to try to defend any of these lies. You can’t, so you won’t. I own you.
(1) I made the comment on Feb. 25th and what I stated was true at the time. On that date Bennet WAS NOT A CO-SPONSOR. He co-sponsored on Feb. 26th
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/…
The press release on the legislation was issued on Feb. 5th.
http://bennet.senate.gov/newsr…
(2) A diary is forthcoming – I am working on it.
(3) Editorializing
(4) All of that is true and I really don’t care if you believe me
There you go – next
(1) You’re lying when you claim it was a remarkable coincidence that Bennet didn’t become a sponsor til the very next day after your Feb. 25th post: As of Feb. 9, it was publicly reported that Bennet WAS A SPONSOR (see, I can use caps like you!) of that bill:
http://www.tradingmarkets.com/…
And I’m pretty confident that a barely coherent, proven liar like you was lying when he made the laughably pretentious brag in a blog comment, “I have sat with Presidents, legislators and world leaders and I can tell you…”
… your complete lameness and laughable inability to defend your lies makes you a fun sparring partner to beat up on.
Here is the thing about sparing – when you are the champ you use sparing partners like toilet paper. They serve the purpose and then disposed of. That is you to me.
I am not even sure why I responding to you so this will be the last time. At least when others attack me (and I hope they still do because they make some of Sen. Bennet’s supporters look like crazy people) they at least have some merit to their arguments.
You, on the other hand, are just dangerous.
To recap, you posted on 2/25 that BEnnet wasn’t sponsor of a bil. I thereafter posted “yes he is, here’s the cite to prove it.” You never responded then, and you now claim “uhh, umm, Bennet became a sponsor the day after my post, 2/26.” I’ve shown that’s a bald-faced lie, citing news report on 2/9 noting Bennet’s sponsorship as of that date.
Given that Bennet was a sponsor weeks before your 2/25 post, you clearly just made up a lie with your yesterday post saying he didn’t become a sponsor til 2/26. Do you want to keep denying that you’re a bald-faced liar? If so, please explain away this new lie, and spare us “uhh, I was ‘editorializing’ so I can make shit up.”
And do tell: which “Presidents and world leaders” have you sat with? Are they real presidents and leaders, or are they like King Friday XIII from Mr. Rogers, leaders only in the land of make-believe?
If the Bennet supporters would stop misleading the public it would be the last time. But since misinformation keeps coming up – have to make sure people can make an informed decision.
To your other question – I really do not care if you believe me (nor if anyone else believes me for that matter). It happened. I know you are jealous. Get over it.
Also – it is bold face, not bald face lie
It was a true statement (on Feb. 25th BEFORE he was a sponsor). He is in fact a sponsor know (on Feb. 26th). I guess it goes to show that Bennet does pay attention here – I got him to sponsor a piece of legislation.
Let me explain it more slowly for you:
You said your 2/25 post denying Bennet’s bill sponsorship was true b/c he wasn’t a sponsor til 2/26 — but that’s not true b/c as my link showed, Bennet was a sponsor as of 2/9. So how can you continue to state the lie, “Feb. 25th BEFORE he was a sponsor”? Do you think that USING CAPS makes a lie sound more true?
I like it much better than the first one. It changes up pretty fast without being choppy. I admit I like seeing the part of the state that looks like where I live, instead of more darn old mountains. The message is simple without being simplistic.
I don’t suppose it matters much what those of us who hang out on Pols think, though. We aren’t the target audience.
What don’t you like about it Deminator?
Neon –without giving anything away, since I know who everyone here is (with the exception of Libertad), I can tell you, you are closer to the target audience is than they are. I am glad you have an open mind. ; )
I’m not only a Democrat, I’m a LIBRA!
you are a coward peacemonger. I have given you the opportunity to put your money where your mouth is.
I will say it AGAIN. If you know who I am SAY IT! You have not one clue who I am. I again repeat my challenge to you:
Tell me who I am and I will say thank you and never come on here again.
You have not one clue who I am.
Or just pm?
to have a stab at it. Are you also saying you know who I am? If you are – do it. You will also fail.
But you may want to be careful-since you will be wrong you may piss some people off and I will be laughing the whole time.
Or maybe you aren’t playing. Who knows?
Either way, you know the rules here–people aren’t allowed to out each other. So quit asking other anonymous posters to out you so you can get them banned.
Several people have stated they know who I am and they don’t. I swear that if they out me (the ones who I have issued the challenge to – peacemonger, MADCO and raymond1) and are right I will post a congratulations, logoff, cancel my account and never come on POLS again.
This goes to the bigger issue that some on here feel like they are the masters of the universe and anyone who disagrees with them are bullied off the blog. I am trying to prove the point that some of us can stand up to the intimidation
That’s not cool. You have every right to post here, at S2 and anywhere else, under any nom de plume you choose.
As to your 4th grade challenge,
you are egging them on, they would be banned for outing you and I’d bet dollars to donuts you would be back here in no time like a social disease.
So how about you all just give it a rest and focus on what you are really good at–bitching about your candidate’s opponent?
You are both pretty… relax.
Typical male response. 🙂
I would be an UGLY woman but I am flattered you think I am pretty
Am I egging them on – HELL YES I AM. But not to get them banned. To show that there can be an person, on their own who can make good points and is willing to question what I am being told by my elected officials.
It makes me mad when they (1) think they are so smart and (2) are giving credit to someone else for my work.
I’m not running for anything.
I’m not playing this game.
I don’t feel like I am a master of the universe and I’ve never bullied anyone for disagreeing with me here.
Stand Up! Laugh away!
The opposition you imagine from me is in your head – but hey, go with it if works for you.
I don’t like my statements being attributed to someone else
Nor do I make that claim now.
I am indifferent to whether you post here or not.
I don’t need any new ways to piss people off, though I’m not sure I have done much here on CoPols that should piss anyone off.
I don’t think you have claimed that – my appologies
Though I cannot imagine ever wanting to, if I ever do make the claim in the future – it will be truthful, though I still would not out you.
(We are all triguardian.)
Is your name…Rumpelstiltskin?
Now he can’t collect your first born daughter.
I have been exposed!!! Full disclosure – I kidnapped the Lindbergh baby and Framed Roger Rabbit
Give it a rest. Feel free to keep trashing Michael Bennet for Andrew Romanoff. You are driving lots of people over to our side who don’t like the name-calling.
If I am a coward and you’re not, why don’t you just out yourself?
Clearly
Can you take sxp and LB’s advice and use the comment section of your reply to comment instead of the subject line? It’s like you’re constantly screaming.
fair enough — I just looked over my posts and all that boldfacing made me sound like the weirdos in the early days of emailing who’d type emails in all caps…
Thanks, man. You’re a gem.
YOUR POINT IS ?
Middle of the Road I thought we were friends – here is the exchange from above (that was my bad for saying below)
I am still waiting on more from raymond1
My comment was to Raymond (hit parent on my comment) and I was just asking him to use the comment section to comment instead of just the subject line, where everything shows up bolded. That’s pretty much the extent of my involvement here. 🙂
(1) You’re lying when you claim it was a remarkable coincidence that Bennet didn’t become a sponsor til the very next day after your Feb. 25th post: As of Feb. 9, it was publicly reported that Bennet WAS A SPONSOR (see, I can use caps like you!) of that bill:
http://www.tradingmarkets.com/…
And your points 2 & 3 are BS too: you can’t defend a lie by calling it “editorializing”!
And I’m pretty confident that a barely coherent, proven liar like you was lying when he made the laughably pretentious brag in a blog comment, “I have sat with Presidents, legislators and world leaders and I can tell you…”
Seriously, you actually think you can defend one lie by making up a new lie as ridiculous as “um, ahh, he didn’t become a sponsor til the day after I said he wasn’t”?
Pretty consistent for the last 6 months. Where did Andrew Romanoff find these people?
raymond1 has no love for Andrew Romanoff. So again check yourself peacemonger. Didn’t you compare the former Speaker of the House to Hitler?
but obsessively so, O’Toole. Grow up and stop with the lies already, please.
Denver, Colorado — April 2, 2010: In a shocking development, Romanoff supporters expressed near unanimous dislike for Bennet’s second ad, rivalled only by their dislike of his first ad and the Bennet supporters’ dislike of Romanoff’s two web ads.
They’re the only REAL Democrats, so they count for triple or something like that. It’s an overwhelming consensus.
I should have said “only TRUE Democrats,” like JeffcoTRUEBlue for example.
Well I guess I am the only Bennet supporter who also think his ad sucks lol.
No you’re not, but that doesn’t change my opinion of the Romanoff Borg.
I get to the end of it thinking “ok, great. So what?” 30 seconds saying that D.C. isn’t working… uh, ok, thanks for re-iterating the most common complaint today. I think it would have been much more effective if he had said “I have learned ____ from listening to people in Washington County, and now I will take _____ to Washington D.C. to pass ____.” That would have both underlined his message that he is listening to voters, enforced the idea that he is trying to change D.C., and given viewers something more tangible to latch onto.
At the very least it will probably help raise his name ID, but he could have done a lot better.
I actually like that Romanoff piece where he’s speaking in a small group and someone asks him “Senator Bennet has done almost everything we wanted our Senator to do – why should I vote for you?
And the speaker lays out the thinking- no hokie talking points, no fundraising baloney, just him being honest and straightforward about his record in the CO House and building the CO D party.
n/t
They beat everything I have seen for AR and JN on TV and frankly that’s all they need to do. Of course I haven’t seen any for AR yet, when do those start again?
A year ago, I was his target market: independant, uninvolved and clueless about the inside baseball stuff. I look at these ads as the Senator introducing himself to the unwashed masses. Since nobody else is out there right now, its a great time to introduce yourself to Colorado.
Btw, informal polling of my upper middle class neighborhood, few have heard much about of either candidate. The families in my neighborhood are busy hitting soccer practices, going on spring break trips and living their lives. It was very revealing at caucus when discussing preference for State senate candidate in our district and nobody had anything to say about either of the two candidates. There was an awareness in 08 that was unprecedented but many have just gone back to their lives and maybe will start paying attention come October.
I actually think they did a much better job with this one than the first. He seems more animated and almost smiling in the Wash County shots.
same talking points.
I’ve never seen them together….hmmm.
JTB: Why are you for Romanoff?
“JeffcoTrueBlue,” I created my account on Wednesday, March 21, 2007.
When did you create yours again? Thursday, February 25, 2010?
It’s ok, I don’t mind, flattering actually, just as long as people are aware of the above. I don’t completely understand what I did to earn this, but whoopiedoo!
We’ve had this back & forth before. When I signed up here I was new to this site & didn’t sit there & read endlessly to make sure my username didn’t resemble any others – no flattery, offense or mocking intended (as one of your friends here previously accused before telling me to “eat dick” – way to stay classy huh?) I have lived in Jeffco all my life & live that we’re turning it Truly Blue. But as long as you can find a way to make the dialog about something other than the ad… you do what makes you feel better about yourself.
Back to the ad: The worries about special interests from Bennet strain credibility but interesting to know he sees it as a problem. Even without that, his ads are just poorly done. Some of you would say Bennet’s sh#t doesn’t even smell bad. At least deminator is honest – or is he now an idiot & not as brilliant as the Bennet followers since ge dared to say something other than “Praise all that is from or if the Appointed One”??
Why are you for Romanoff?
I’ve posted a short answer to this before when asked. I work 70 hrs a week building my business & keeping it afloat so haven’t had time to sit & write an 800 word essay on all of the reasons I believe Romanoff will be a great Senator but I’ll set aside time soon to do that. For now, here is what I posted before:
I didn’t go searching through your prior posts/replies and it’s hard to keep track. Where was that one?
I just did review your diary history here- 8 weeks 6 diaries. 5 bashing Bennet, 1 a large cut and past of some poll.
Good diaries can be done in a couple of hundred words- start with what you cut and past above.
I agree with you that Romanoff has an admirable track record in elected office and D politics. I’m not calling him a career politician, though it is not at all clear to me why that’s a bad thing. I agree with you that Andrew did good things for Colorado and the CO Democratic party.
But tell me this – I used to work for George HW Bush. In fact, during that gig I met Dick Cheney a couple of times. (And Dan Quayle once.) I didn’t agree with their politics, but I was still very good at my job. Later, I worked for David Koch in a very different capacity. I was also very good at what I did there.
But how does having an employer with different politics than mine make me a bad person?
Oh wait. I forgot. The Romanoff campaign doesn’t have enough money for TV ads.
Romanoff still beats Bennet in the Democratic Caucus and polls better against the leading regressives.
It is designed to make Bennet more “my friend next door”. In that regard it is not a bad ad, and probably the type of ad he needs to be running at this point in the campaign, 4 months before the primary. It is a bit unmemorable though so may not sink in with “average voters” (none of whom would be reading this post).
The first ad was more of a “what I am doing for you ad” and should have come out before the caucus, not after. Not a bad ad though directed as average voters. But for the slightly more politically savy, it’s message was kind of “pissing in the wind” in nature.
and please look up the difference between “then” and “than” (you really want to try to sound more literate THAN libertad, because THEN we might be willing to take your posts seriously — get it?)
maybe not.
Then why would you go out of your way to publicize his TV ad? You do realize that you were the first person to post this ad on Colorado Pols?
Is April 2nd opposite day?
Thanks!
Thought I’d save you some time & before you got the chance to post a glowing review, I’d give mine. Come on pols, you know you guvs would have posted it & raved about the Appointed One’s media genius.
Is Bennet trying to portray this image as “a man of Colorado” because he got beat in the caucus and is even getting beat worse in the assemblies (Eagle county completely flipping to Romanoff)? Is his campaign thinking he will need to petition to get on the ballot?
to bring the conversation back to the ad and less about me (although I do like the attention). It was a different way to look at it.
… and I note again that you’ve yet again declined to defend any of your 4 lies, see above. Do you ENJOY basically admitting you’re a liar?
defended all of them
http://www.coloradopols.com/sh…
But thanks for playing — it’s fun having a sparring partner as shitty at all of this as you are! I own you, and I enjoy that.
so I’ll reply in same–I think this ad isn’t really aimed at the caucus going audience. I think it’s aimed at primary voters that go to the polls in August and even GE voters, particularly independents. He’s defining himself to an audience that doesn’t really know him and he has the money to do it, which is why fundraising and big war chests are so often mentioned during these type of primary face offs.
Is it a great ad? Truthfully, I don’t think it is. But if he’s targeting the audience I think he’s aiming for, it works and then some.
And I’ll admit up front that I could be wrong here.
Really how many voters in Colorado know there even is a Washington County. I had to look it up.
My take is that if it was aimed at the primary voters it would have had a different message
although the fact that we have a county named Washington dovetails nicely with his larger theme, you gotta admit.
But here’s something voters in this state do know and they want politicians to acknowledge it–there is more to Colorado than just Denver. I think that is the point being made here. That’s not a knock against AR, by the way. Every single politician I’ve ever worked with (Ritter, Paccione) goes out of his/her way to let the rest of Colorado know that they do have a clue that Colorado is made up of more than voters in Denver. Plus, I think the eastern plains are gorgeous.
I agree with that and I think Romanoff is getting out there (I hope). I am assuming Bennet is.
We in the bubble of Denver don’t get out much and I think I just don’t buy the message/image because I am in the bubble. The “Listening to Colorado” thing bothered me too.
or you are clueless or don’t get out much so I hope that wasn’t the impression I gave you. I’m sort of relieved that both of our Democratic candidates have been all over the state and often–I think both AR and Bennet really do get it and that will prove to be helpful for whoever wins the primary.
I hated the first ad. It did not trip my trigger. I like this one, though. It’s low key but it works for me.
Good conversation, by the way. Thanks for that. It’s far more interesting than just screaming past each other.
I know both Romanoff and Bennet are getting out there. That is the beast that is Colorado politics – if you solely rely on the Denver metro you are going to get bit in the ass and smart campaigns know that.
This has been a good conversation.
to get ont he ballot int he first place.
This caucus/assembly/convention and then a primary is just ….silly.
But neither is it awful. Mostly it’s forgettable – and that’s not good.
My son BigSterling (TheTruckerWhoRulesTheMall) was visiting today. I had the browser open when I was showing him something else, so just for grins I had him watch the ad.
He is a registered voter and a Democrat, but not at all an activist. The closest he comes in this regard is arguing about politics with other truckers on the CB during the long boring miles.
His take on the ad was that it was okay. He said he liked what Bennet said, even though it was the sort of thing that all the politicians say. He also said they should have had a ‘real truck’ instead of a ‘bull rack’ because “those guys are crazy”.
So for what it’s worth, there is one opinion from a Regular Person.
My guess is he doesn’t.
I can remember to ask him! 🙂
But if I can, I will, just because it would be an interesting experiment. Feel free to remind me, if you like.
