Castle Rock woman makes questionable claims in new Crossroads GPS ad attacking Udall

A new TV ad from Crossroads GPS features a Castle Rock mom criticizing Democratic Sen. Mark Udall for voting for the Affordable Care Act — not a surprising mouthpiece in a race that will likely come down to suburban women.

But the woman in the ad, Richelle McKim, is actually an employee of an energy company that is among the biggest donors to Udall’s opponent; and her story, which seemingly contradicts information on her publicly available LinkedIn profile, is at least more complicated than the 30-second version hitting Colorado’s airwaves starting Thursday...

Reached by phone Thursday afternoon at her office, McKim explained that she went back to work in 2010 because it was too tough making ends meet on her husband’s income.

“It wasn’t the Affordable Care Act,” she said. “It was just a financial burden, having a single income for so long.”

1. Liar paid to lie by liars.

Film at eleven, in a 30 second commercial.

8. Money talks

Sad, but true.

2. If its a GOP ad and lips are moving...

there is a 99+% probability it is a LIE or obfuscation of the facts (aka the truth)

3. Why would anyone, willingly, allow themselves ...

to be proven a liar in the media ... where everyone you know will see it?

They have to know that the moment they "star" in one of these lies, someone will research and publish the facts. Were they not paying attention to all the ACA Horror Stories, being debunked?

I can see (and almost excuse) if the star is an actor (professional), playing a role; but for your average joe/jane, that lives, shops, goes to church, sends his/her kids to school in the community, to have to know that the lie will come out.

{1SBM's evil voice whispers} "Okay ... You want to play? Someone should make 100,000 copies of this article and place one under the windshield wiper of every car in the parking lot of her job, her church, her kids' school, and the major grocery stores/malls in the broadcast area. That learn her!"

5. The public or its opinion doesn't matter. Loyalty to her clan matters, and she'll be loved for it.

Oliver North lied for their cause and is still honored and given air time and more money for anything he does. He's set for life and that is the goal of most GOP candidates. If they can scam enough people to vote for them, they are in the club to sell off the assets of the Commoners to their friends.

They've no respect for facts as only wealth and power, no matter how gained, is of value to them and that is their constant goal in all they do. It's almost unconscious, they do it so smoothly. They are not in government to rule or help, their function is to loot for their clan.

All of our howling about them lying means nothing to them. We're trying to preserve objectivity to treat all with equality under law. They thrive and get rich on the opposite condition for humanity.

They say we are weak to want improvement in the condition of humans and the planet. Their first and last goal is to get theirs and to hell with the rest of us literally. But they are also impatient, and want us to go to hell now, not by nature.

You must understand the nature of the beast you are dealing with here. But your solution is a good one and may deny her the victory her clan wants. It will be hard to move her biggest fans, though. They have been inoculated and won't believe anything that doesn't show material prosperity, it's the clothing for all that they respect.

7. Most people will not find out.

Most people just watch tv.

9. One could come up with several reasons why she did it

I hope the truth comes out eventually. In the end, she and her family are the ones who have to live with the lie.

4. are the Koch Brothers that f'n stupid

Everytime you see an ad against the ACA, somehow it always becomes unraveled by be proven its a scam....I guess the Kochs think their voters are idiots, hmmmmm wait, they are idiots.

6. "Questionable Claims"?

What used to be called, back when I was younger, "lies"...

10. I hope your insurance covers Pinocchitis, Richelle.

Your nose is about to start growing.
