Warren ad recalls DNC speech; Brown’s cites bipartisan ways

Echoing the populist themes she laid out in her speech to the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday night, Elizabeth Warren released a new television ad on Thursday that argues that the political system favors corporate interests at the expense of small businesses.

Meanwhile, Warren’s Republican opponent, Senator Scott Brown, plans to release his own ad Friday that showcases his work passing a law that banned insider trading in Congress.

Comments

Warren's comments are laughable. It is her party that has rigged the system against small business owners.

Evidence?  This comment reminds me that Karl Rove's technique is to accuse the opponent of what his candidate is doing wrong.

 

Scott Brown is very good at looking one way and being another.  He is still in lock step with large corporations and banks, and he only votes with Democrats when his vote won't have much impact.

These two bozos sure need to change their ads.  How many times can one stand watching Scott Brown visiting an old guy, even though that old guy won the CMH?  Yes, we honor the congressional medalist, and even Brown's services to veterans, but a bore is a bore becomes a snore.  And Lizzy Warren's attempt to angrily assail rich guys and big oil companies as victimizing the American middle class, the group Lizzy appears to want to persuade everybody she is  a part of, or at least makes her money by defending it. How many times can that woman's whiney angry come over the airwaves and assault one's ears without driving one to hit the 'mute' button every time it comes on?  A bit of advice for both of their campaign handlers - produce three or four cheaper tv ads that can be mixed and matched over the next couple of months. Then add a couple of more for late October and November. Don't bore and anger the voters with still more inanity.

The CMH guy looks like he's been hoodwinked into the ad and has no idea what is going on.

Scott Brown tries so hard to portray himself as bipartisan but he counts noses and votes with the Democrats when the outcome is not in doubt.This is the Insider Trading Bill about which Scott Brown praises himself in his new video ad 9/7/12. 97 Senators voted for the Bill.

"Aiming to restore voters' faith in Congress, the Senate overwhelmingly approved a bill that makes clear it's illegal for members of Congress, their staffs and many executive-branch employees to trade stocks and other securities based on inside information learned on the job.The Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act, which President Barack Obama has urged Congress to approve, passed 96-3"

Correction :96 Senators voted for the Bill.

simply put, Scott is a joke.  There's not much more to say or do except laugh at his misleading, pitiful ads.

The DNC Convention made the case and clearly showed the contrast between the parties.The DNC rocked as in being a true representative of the people of the US and its core values.

Brown's "bipartisanship" schtick is a call to "step right up folks and cast your vote in my big tent since I'm Scott Brown on the road.'

It's encouraging to see that so many people,including many from the media, are catching and confronting Romney and Ryan on their lies and deceits and lack of constructive plans. Problems with their plans in terms of hardships for Americans but,also, the economy are being revealed.

That does not mean that it's easy to infrom voters who have been misinformed, but it's a step in the right direction.
