After Americans for Prosperity unveiled a large media placement hitting liberal U.S. Senator Mark Udall’s Obamacare record, liberals everyone breathed a sigh of relief when the left-leaning Senate Majority PAC (SMP) revealed a $500,000 media buy against U.S. Rep. Cory Gardner, who is running against Udall in the 2014 election.
Not so fast, Udallites. There’s just one problem.
The SMP, backing Udall, is funded by none other than Colorado’s best liberal funder, former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, as revealed in a Slate article published little over a month ago about the rise of “Vanity PACs”:
“[Bloomberg] also contributed $2.5 million to the pro-Democratic Senate Majority PAC and $250,000 to Americans for Responsible Solutions, a pro-gun control super PAC founded by former Democratic Rep. Gabby Giffords of Arizona.” [the Peak emphasis]
What’s interesting is that Bloomberg has given $2.5 million to the Super PAC and its most recent ad buy is approximately $3 million. That $2.5 million sure came in handy. What is it about Colorado that is so irresistible to Bloomberg? He just cannot seem to stop meddling here.
Run your ads, Bloomberg. We’ve already beat back your money three times – Crestina Martinez, gun legislation that resulted in recalls, and Amendment 66. Do you really want to try for a fourth?
Get out Bloomberg and take udall with you. He can wash your car or something.
If this guy wants to play in Colorado politics he should move in and register to vote. Oh ya, he should pay Colorado taxes also…he would probably save money.
Bloom'turd' belongs in NY, not Colorado. Send him home again by firing the liar Udall.
In every race here in Colorado we need to hold everyone accountable..period.
We are a test state like Connecticut. They keep pushing for it in Dem controlled states so they can create a legal presidence to push in courts and other states. California is a prime example where you can even get a federal judge to outlaw American flag colors on May 5th because you might offend someone on their home countries holiday. Fricken ridiculous. Bring it on Bloomdick.. We sent your last three cronies to the unemployment line, and laughed at your bankroll on prop 66.
We may not have Bloombergs money, but we have proven our strength by ousting 3 of his followers while at the same time battling Fires and Floods. He still doesn't get it.
He obviously thinks he is better than you lowly Coloradans. You are too stupid to pick your own senator. Let Nanny Bloomberg do it.
Thanks for the Intel. Bloomberg is tainted in Colorado.
Waiting for the usual 'Koch' brothers outcry from the loony left trolls.
