they will hang up the phone when they hear a recorded voice telling them anything. I hang up the phone whether it’s someone from my party or the other one.
got one of these calls yesterday–had I been home I would have hung up on it, but instead the machine recorded the whole thing.
I donated $50 to Udall’s campaign as a result. I find that is a reasonable response…it makes me feel better and is exactly the opposite reaction they are hoping for.
money well spent.
keep calling though. It could get expensive for me.
I actually make a practice of responsding that way to attacks against candidates I’m supporting.
Jared Polis’ campaign has made quite a bit of cash from me as a result of Jay Marvin’s mouth.
I called “Freedom’s watch” back to chew them out for being such complete liars, but only got their voice mail.
To the Udall campaign when the employee free choice act gets passed?
It seems interesting to me that if the Tables were Turned you Liberals would all be applauding Udall for using something like this against Schaffer.
When the shoe is on the other foot you all scream like stuck pigs.
What is good for the Goose is Good for The Gander!
Try a little harder to be coherent next time, eh ?

she is a victim of homeschooling…
a perpetrator, as well.
Just as you would if the tables are turned. That’s how it’s supposed to work.
When the facts disagree with the myth, go with the myth. I expected this to happen.
Are you all dense! Liberals don’t like the fact that the Conservatives are using the Missed Vote situation against Udall in this years Election Campaign! Like you said, “That’s not good for Udall no matter what…”
My point is that if the Liberals had a Missed Vote debacle situation to put on Schaffer you all would love to have Robocalls made against Schaffer.
Double Standard…now if you do not understand that you are all morons!
Keep calling me names… just makes me want to teach you dummies but you have no brains so this is very difficult.
Do you still think Hamilton Roberts is a liberal? That one really made our day!
In this Denver Post article it sounds like this first vote could have been the only vote. And that it was Boehner’s request for a recorded vote that allowed for the second vote.
Is that off-base or correct?
The first resolution’s text required the second vote.
…and it was then a tie and failed, would that have changed anything? Would they have had to do it again or would it have still just gone to that second vote?
Another Republican in addition to House Republican Whip Roy Blunt would have skipped out. Republicans wanted to lose by one so they could stage their little theater.
Sure you can say they would have pulled a Republican. On the flip side, maybe they wouldn’t have. Or maybe the Easter Bunny really exists.
Lets make an equally valid assumption, that Mark Udall got there 2 minutes earlier (reports say he was on the Capitol steps when the vote occured) and was the final vote bringing it to a tie (and after all the Republicans had voted).
At that point it would have been a tie and would have been defeated. Lets call this the “most likely scenario” if he had been 2 minutes earlier.
In that case, would they have had to start the voting again? Wouldn’t that have delayed adjournment?
It has been discussed. The vote was preliminary. The final vote was a the end of the week.
Does this mean they just would have held the preliminary vote again that week – possibly on Thursday?
And the assumption then (fair I think) is that vote would have been similiar to that of the final vote?
Or is there a minimum number of days that must occur between votes that would have pushed it out? I ask because the original news stories had Udall very upset that he could not make that first vote.
..ultimately, they just go around again and maybe on the off chance they get their adjournment delayed, by arguing whether or not they should adjourn instead of actually concentrating on discussing an Energy Bill, which is what Udall wanted to do before the House adjourned. Because they were focused on adjournment. So, what gets accomplished? Nothing. If the final vote was any indication, it would have delayed the adjournment and nothing more. The bottom line is that it was a preliminary measure.
Why was Udall upset? Oh I don’t know, probably because he knew that the Opportunists that he was running against would use this against him and try to get him on a technicality. Maybe it is because suddenly the vote got moved up without warning and he had to scramble to get back. Maybe both.
The first vote was preliminary and had more to do with housekeeping, to align the adjournment with the Senate. The second vote, the one that mattered, would have taken place in any case (with Udall in attendance), but, as sometimes occurs for those kind of votes, could have been a voice vote. Boehner, setting up his lame “protest in the dark,” demanded a voice vote to set up attacks like the one Freedom Watch is running in Colorado.
Incidentally, Freedom Watch is also hitting Louisiana’s Don Cazayoux and New Hampshire’s Carol Shea-Porter this week, spending $15,560 and $22,895, respectively.
The whole “drill here, drill now” campaign is sophisticated and coordinated, and catching Udall on the preliminary vote is part of it, even though he was voting with the Republicans. This is the ONLY issue Republicans have in Congress this year. They’re throwing everything they’ve got at it, across the board.
Good, I am glad they are letting people know what a scumbag Mark Udall is. Did anyone see the article in today’s WSJ on the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA), which, by the way, Mark Udall supports and should be ashamed of supporting. If you haven’t please check out this link below. It’s pretty strong.

…as someone who cares very deeply about holding onto his job and making sure that I get treated fairly by my employer provided I do what’s expected of me and am a good and responsible employee, I have better things to do than read the junk that you’re chucking.
And the Democrats have a lot of problems. But they have one thing going for them, even at their worst: They’re not the Republicans.

Udall will not get rid of this “Missed Important Vote” millstone.
Oh, well, sh(( happens!
All you need is a few sanctimonious jerks to keep running with a non-issue for a symbolic victory. Beat the dead horse a few times and try to “ram 30-second sound bytes up someone’s a**”. That’s all the Republicans can do. That and lean on some known Right-wing rags to disseminate the information.
The Republicans learned how to do this from the Democrats…your comment is the pot calling the kettle black.
Be an ineffective (though mildly entertaining) idiot? What exactly is it you are doing other than wasting your time?
…I don’t recall the Democratic Party having people like Lee Atwater, Karl Rove or Dick Wadhams working for them. Those scorched-earth types have always been yours. The tenor of Negative campaigning never started to get so pronounced on either side until 1988 when Bush (via Atwater) Willie Hortoned Dukakis.
Yeah. You learned. You took that ball and ran with it.
BTW, thanks for being this site’s latest Cartoon character.
CO Democrat…You Liberals get angy and nasty when the truth is told…LOL,LOL,LOL
If you were telling the truth, why don’t you cite some examples. Preferably before 1988. That weak-ass response is the best you can come up with?
1. Remember Dan Rather’s made up letter from the National Guard about G.W. Bush’s in the 1st race.
Democrats tried to make that lie stick. Rather lost his job.
2. McCain had a recent affair with the Oil Lobbist which there was no proof but printed in the NYT. No Proof so it went no place but the dumpster.
Republicans learned that this Democrat format works in elections. See you are calling names again weak-ass is not nice.
Things that happened before 1988 and the Willie Horton ad. You must have a warped sense of time.
Furthermore, you say that there was no proof that these things happened. Is there any proof that they didn’t?
And if going after Bush in 2004, worked, then why did Kerry lose? You say that these things worked and yet you also say that they blew up in people’s faces. So, it would seem you are contradicting yourself.
As for my “weak-ass” remark, if you read properly, I was referring to the remark, and not the person. But I’m sorry if I hurt your fragile feelings.
sure rammed a bunch of 30-second ads up their ass on those, didn’t they? Every campaign since the dawn of time has had rumors that turn out to be unfounded. For modern Republicans, it’s not an occupational hazard, it’s a fundamental strategy.
Based on my careful analysis you are no longer a shill but have graduated to troll.
Congratulations are in order.
