Trio of GOP ads hammer Udall in Colorado
The Hill ^ | August 13, 2014 | Jesse Byrnes

Posted on 08/13/2014 4:37:35 PM PDT by Clintonfatigued

Two ads this week take aim at Sen. Mark Udall (D-Colo.) for his support of Obamacare and a third, a Spanish-language ad, highlights his vote against the Keystone XL oil pipeline.

Americans for Prosperity's newest ad, released Wednesday in a $500,000 broadcast buy airing for the next two weeks, accuses Udall of "covering up for ObamaCare."

"The Affordable Care Act has become unaffordable. Our healthcare costs are still going up and 335,000 Coloradans received a cancellation notice," the 30-second ad notes. The group released a similar ad in April. That's on the heels of a 30-second ad released Monday by Udall's challenger in the close race, Rep. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.), which tries to tie Udall to President Obama's claim that those who like their healthcare plan could keep it.

"When Mark Udall voted for ObamaCare, he promised us, if we liked our healthcare plan we could keep it. Well you know how that worked out," Gardner says in the ad, including the 335,000 figure. "More cancellations are on the way."

This is a key race, one that will decide who controls the chamber. Colorado Freepers need to make this their top priority.

Udall has some pretty dirty ads run by some big money group.

“Colorado Freepers need to make this their top priority.”

I’ll vote for the SOB (Gardner) but noting else. He’s already thrown out every principal he may have ever had in only 3 years in office. Gardner pretended like he was a conservative to we contributors when he made his first run for the House, but now Gardner was one of only 11 GOP House votes against the illegal immigration bill passed by the House a couple of weeks ago. He also early on caved to some protesters at his headquarters saying he supported illegal aliens in the military.

Dude is now definitely GOPe all the way.

Getting Gardner was a recruiting coup by the NRSC.

Here’s my take.
This a chance to kick the Udall family out of the political machine in CO.
There a LOTS of things to change in CO but nothing is going to happen until Udall and Chickenpooper are gone.

I’ll vote for Gardner. I saw him in Durango about a month ago and several of us told him that he’d better not cave to the GOPe or he’d regret it. It wasn’t a friendly conversation. I think he got the message.
