Not Just Negative

Stupidly negative. In a Colorado congressional race, Betsy Marky (D) is running against Marilyn Musgrave (R). Both are running ads that are not only "negative" (which is expected, for how do you win an election by saying only "positive" things?), they're STUPIDLY negative. One involves "putting Markey under a lie-detector," (even if that were possible) and getting lie after lie in answer to certain questions. Another says Musgrave "has been declared one of the most corrupt politicians in Congress." But then you look at the "small print" where they give their source, and it's a VERY liberal organization that sees "corruption" in everything a Republican does, whether or not it is there. Then there is "Boulder liberal" Mark Udall (D), who is running ads saying he's a conservative. He resents being called a "Boulder liberal." Does he think we don't remember all his liberal and socialist votes? I'll be glad when all these stupid commercials and lying is over. (Just common sense)
