Everything in that ad makes me want to puke.
In addition to the lies spelled out in the diary, there was no scamming of taxpayers. If the Chinese hadn’t flooded the American market with PV panels, then Solyndra’s expensive but efficient tech would have been gangbusters. Yes, I work in renewables, it probably shows.
But I don’t know that Joe Coors has even seen that ad. He’s so out of touch, I doubt he actually knows anything that’s going on.
I’m going to so enjoy this election day!
And the next four years of Obama’s term!
Is coming from the right wingnuts. Muslims. Gays. the Media. Rigged polls. Mexicans. When has a Republican actually accepted responsibility for anything of late? Boehner’s House dysfunctional–it’s Harry Reid’s fault (so say the wingnuts).
But that’s irrelevant because Libby is just a troll.
I was feeling a little burned out this morning, wondering why I signed up to walk in a race that was won before Coors even announced. This reminded me that we don’t just need to beat Coors, we need to make sure that he (like most of Perlmutter’s past opponents) gets humiliated so hard he never shows his face to voters again.
Praise be unto the Flying Spaghetti Monster for souls such as yours! Ramen!
Their mendacity is fuel for our spirits. Keep it coming, right wingers.
OK I listened to this three times. The cartoon text says Solyndra lost 300 milion and the audio clearly says 300 BILLION.
Anyone else notice? Or is it me?
The bad news is if you watched it 3 times, you missed that it was $500 million (and the voice over said 1/2 Billion). So you need to check your eyes too (you have my simpathy — my old eyes and ears aren’t so hot either).
The good news is that you can also tell everyone the facts about this GOP talking point:
That’s a track record any venture capitalist would envy.
I’m always doing that with numbers. I should never post in public. 😉
for years, you’d think Coors would have known the timeline problem with this story.
But he doesn’t care.
really ?
you don’t know any ex-couples who treat each other amicably ?
or,
in a more cynical interpretation,
couldn’t that (going out of their way) help meet terms of a settlement ?
luv U guyz.
Direct or otherwise.
FOUR MORE YEARS!
Right there in plain sight, congressman helps wife-lobbyist cash checks by gifting taxpayer assets to wife-lobbyist’s specific and named client ….. client later goes bankrupt …. leaving the taxpayers screwed.
wouldn’t allow it because it is private.What’s up wit dat?
never drink and post…gotta keep reminding myself.
Too much multi-tasking and too distracted to check carefully. But we know what we mean, right? And since we’re not ‘tad we don’t get teased mercilessly. One more good thing about not being ‘tad.
tpyos are ierrllevantt
comumincation is the imporatant part. treu?
the blood donation thread said so… of course you typo!
My keyboard wouldn’t recognize my fingers, or the other way around.
the facts are correct,
you just don’t like them ?
Ed DID vote; Deana DID make money.
The conclusion about scamming taxpayers is a little bit of artistic license, but we all support the arts, right ?
What makes this a brilliant ad is that it is impossible to refute in what little time is left.
Low info voters who watch a lot of TV are going to ask themselves,
“If this isn’t true, why isn’t Ed going on TV to refute it ?”
But of course refutation will require voters to comprehend subtleties like the sequence of events laid out here.
Good luck with that.
That is true.
But, Deana was NOT Mrs Perlmutter at the time.
You can, but should not, imply that because a guy’s ex-wife is a scum-sucking pig of a lobbyist, that he is a bottom dweller.
He could stop this sooner rather than maybe stopping it later if he’d release some internal poll numbers.
Why won’t he release polling …. even the internals to at least strike some fear into Dean Singleton in hopes that Dean doesn’t endorse Mr. Coors.
Singleton? Really?
Like that would influence anyone?
Anyone? Bueller?
Joe Coors is not a beer, and he’s not gonna be a congressman.
Obviously your economic situation is impacted by Ed retaining his congressional seat.
Are you inside the campaign, inside the congressional office or a lobbyist?
Glad I hired you to do the heavy lifting. You’re check’s in the mail.
She may be a lobbyist, but I would hardly call her a scum-sucking pig. Her three girls with Ed have always been the couple’s first priority after their divorce, just as they were during the marriage. I have a great deal of respect for their commitment to parenting after their divorce.
Bush WAS President; the World Trade Center WAS attacked . . .
The conclusions that follow, just a little NEA artsy-fartsiness . . . ?
as a “Truther,”
I believe that Bush was in on the 9/11 attacks.
Well, if not him personally, then his boss, Richard Bruce Chaney.
….I think there were people in Washington who were.
I’m not a paranoid/conspiricist person by nature. Yet, as I reviewed a lot of information a decade ago, there were too many inconsistencies in the official explanations.
A few tips of the iceberg.
1. After decades of the several joint Chiefs of Staff being able to authorize a passenger plane shoot down, such authority went to the VP in June, 2001.
2. We were coincidentally in some kind of a military excercise on that day that had all of our military planes grounded.
3. Why were we able to launch a fighter plane in some minutes when that golfer’s bizjet lost communications over the middle of nowhere, but we couldn’t launch a plane on the busy east coast?
4. Puddles and pools of liquid steel at the site for days that could only be explained by thermite.
5. The amazingly rapid evacuation of steel and debris to be smelted in China and elsewhere.
6. That the two towers pancaked just like a demolition would, no variation, no tilting. And the third building went down even though it was never struck.
7. At the pentagon, no 757 (?) engines, passenger seats, or wings were ever found. The impact footprint and the engine parts that were found were more in line with a long range missile like a Tomahawk.
8. Amazing how fast the Patriot Act, which had been sitting on the shelf for years was suddenly the solution to prevent another debacle like this.
These, and many other facts, are abhorrent to the American people. And that is why the truth of 9/11 is shunted out of public discussion as “Impossible!”
We all know how valid the Warren Commission’s findings were about the Kennedy Assassination. Someday the truth about 9/11 will similarly out.
And why, “My Pet Goat?” Everyone knows that real Americans don’t raise goats, that’s something them Ay-rabs and Mooselims do along with their sheep. Right? 🙂
(Reality check: Goats and sheep are much more frequent in Texas than one might think, considering the macho-ness of cattle.)
There is none. Now, I understand that one can’t prove a negative, but when a whole lot of very inexplicable events stack up, it’s called evidence.
The only evidence to the contrary is, “I can’t believe Americans would do this!”
If we are around so long, I’ll bet someday all this will be studied like the JFK assassination and lo and behold, a new truth!
Really? When Perlmutter voted for the stimulus package, which makes no mention of Solyndra, in 2009, not only had he been divorced from Deanna Perlmutter the year before after about three years of separation, but by then Deana Perlmutter was no longer a lobbyist for the firm. At least that’s what the article in Denver’s big daily said. So the whole thing is pure bull, Barron. I don’t have to like or dislike it because it doesn’t… you know… exist.
and because I don’t have the time to research this, it appears that you have laid any hint of wrongdoing to rest. I think Ed and his campaign need to orchestrate communication of this. I’ve always held Ed in very high regard and never had any reason to doubt his integrity.
And I think more important is that Ms. Perlmutter was specifically hired for energy tax credits (when with Holland and Knight) and to take the loan through the energy administration process (with Dutko, http://soprweb.senate.gov/inde… ). Meaning that Coors would need proof that Rep. Perlmutter improperly contacted Bush administration officials about the loan for anything wrong to have happened.
In other words, Ms. Perlmutter wasn’t lobbying the House on this matter in any capacity. Random stimulus side note or not.
Not that it matters. Coors didn’t actually say that she did, he released a sleazy commercial that is made to make you assume that… Complete with a “Mrs.” that, in any circumstances, went out 40 years ago, a word that makes my 57 yo mom cringe. Ain’t election politics grand? Especially when done poorly, but nice and late.
FTR, McBee handled the ARRA impact on solar for Solyndra. Lobbyist timeline here, http://www.nytimes.com/gwire/2…
big Denver paper. That’s what the article says. So it’s really their reporting that’s at issue and droll appears to have been much less lazy than me and has done the extra research for us. So I think we can safely say… this is the way it really was.
I thought I had read everything pertinent in that big rag but I missed this.
He’s just another clueless, classless old white guy who thought it would be fun to buy a congressional seat. Another hobby to go along with his singing duets with his old pal god.
whoever came up with those not-a-beer ads is going to be stuck with at least some of the blame.
I understand they wanted us all to know he’s not in the sloppy drunk beer sector of the family enterprises but in the completely wholesome, moral, squeaky clean ceramics division. But they also didn’t want to be preachy. I get it but this wasn’t the way to do it.
Didn’t they suspect something that close to I-am-not-a-witch was just asking for it? The opportunities to pop in an endless stream of substitutes for the beer? The way it’s as SNL ready as the witch ad or any Palin speech? What were they thinking? Or smoking?
What were they drinking?
I got a real chuckle out of watching this ad, in which Coors talks about the “real world.” How’s did Armageddon arriving in the year 2000 work out in the “real world,” Mr. Conservative Candidate? Stay grounded, indeed.
if he still thinks Armageddon is coming in the relatively near future. Those of us who think the world is probably going to be around for our children and grandchildren really shouldn’t trust a pol who can’t possibly be all that concerned about the future right here on earth in the material world if that pol doesn’t think there’s much future left. Why be concerned with the welfare of future generations if you don’t think there are going to be any? A candidate being an end timer should definitely be a deal breaker for any voter who thinks there is a chance the world is going to continue for their progeny.
