First of all, saying Sirota wisely pointed something out is just silly.
Second, do you really expect Hickenlooper to drastically reduce spending and the size government during his term? Has he ever said or shown that he is that kind of candidate?
Third, you said,
No, we really don’t. Unless you’re a Republican in disguise or a left winger worried about a moderate candidate.
If you aren’t one of the above, let it go. They’re fun commercials designed to reach out to moderate voters in a moderate state.
Sheesh.
Hick is going to have to cut spending no matter what. Any Governor would have to. Why not use the fiscal reality to his advantage in the ads?
And making up diaries about whether Hick is a closet slasher seems like a strange mental stimulator.
But, to each their own….
but this isn’t the message I want to hear from the potential next governor.
Any focus group of administrative assistants can come up with all of those cost saving measures (in fact, they probably did) plus some — flourescent light bulbs, automatic room shut-off switches, refillable pens, empty your own garbage cans, etc., etc.
This is not what a governor does, or should be doing. I want to know how the next governor is going to fund roads and infrastructure — not that he put ethanol in his car. I want to know how the next governor is going to help make Colorado more attractive for jobs creation. I want to know how how the next governor is going to fund education and job training.
Yeah, Hick is going to have to cut spending, but so would any other governor. So, what the hell else is he going to do?
We already get that Hick’ is likable and quirky, but this commercial is too cute by half and does absolutely nothing to make me want to vote for the man. It’s time for Hick to seriously consider getting serious about being governor.
The amount the government spends is what it is to me. What appalls me is the amount of wasteful spending that is typical in any given governement office.
Since I do temp work, I move around amongst city (Denver) and state offices, I see this everyday. I see very few offices where processes could not use some streamlining to save time and money, especially money.
The fact that Hick recognizes this issue, and not JUST the buzz words, “Cut spending” really heightens my opinion of him. And my opinion of him was not particularly positive going into this election.
Ads like this and the pledge to no negative campaigning (shower ad) are starting to move him from “lesser of the evils” to someone I may be able to warm up to by Nov.
Don’t you know that this is David Sirota’s turf?
How dare you?
Pols has been saying the same thing as Sirota for months now.
only Morons say the same thing as David Sirota.
