POLS UPDATE: Script and release after the jump.

Senator Michael Bennet is up with a new ad today, pointing out some of Ken Buck’s position statements, including on social security, the Department of Education, student loans and abortion.

It’s an interesting presentation format, using Buck’s own words and video.  Something tells me this isn’t the only ad that could be made using Buck’s own words and video and that this could the first in a series.

BENNET RELEASES FIRST AD OF GENERAL ELECTION

New Ad Shows Buck to be Too Extreme for Colorado

DENVER, CO — Over the past year and a half, Ken Buck has shown himself to be too extreme for Colorado, far outside our values.  In the first ad of the general, Bennet for Colorado warns the public against the types of harmful policies that Ken Buck would work toward if he were elected.

“Ken Buck has attacked Social Security, which nearly 700,000 Coloradans depend on, as a ‘horrible policy,'” said Bennet for Colorado spokesman Trevor Kincaid. “He has condemned federal student loans, which helps thousands of students go to college in Colorado, as something we should get rid of.  Buck has even gone so far as to say that he doesn’t believe in the right to choose, even for victims of rape and incest.  Ken Buck is just too extreme.”

The Bennet campaign’s commercial is a means of informing Colorado voters about the extreme views, Ken Buck, has taken on important issues using Ken Buck’s own words.

“Ken Buck said it himself and Colorado voters will see for themselves that Ken Buck is too extreme for Colorado,” said Kincaid.
