My local news station is my new hero! Already busted Beauprez's

campaign and sicced the CBI on them! (The governor's race in CO)

Bill Ritter (D) was a prosecutor. Predictably, the GOP campaign is trying to find fault with the thousands of cases he prosecuted.

One ad shows an illegal immigrant that Ritter supposedly plea bargained for distributin of heroin.

Well, my heroes, KUSA, the NBC affiliate here in Denver, are doing in depth investigation of all the political ads they air! They call it "Truth Test".http://www.9news.com/acm_news.aspx?OSGNAME=KUSA&IKOBJECTID=3924aa15-0abe-421a-0103-07cec1c816b9&TEMPLATEID=0c76dce6-ac1f-02d8-0047-c589c01ca7bf

And, as they did their journalistic investigation (finding inconsistencies in the story above, big surprise) they also discovered that a staffer of Beauprez's campaign may have violated state and federal laws by accessing law enforement files for something other than policework.

HAHAHAHAHA! They have the exclusive and they busted the GOP operatives!

Adam Schraeger is the reporter working on the series. I'm emailing him my eternal gratitude for his work.

1. If only they all did this

How great would that be -- truth testing political ads all over the country!
It makes so much sense and would lead people to make better judgments when it comes to voting.
I hope this station gets a lot of positive feedback on this.

4. I saw this. I hope they (CBI) nails his (Beauprez's) ass. n/t

5. Me too! I lived in Beauprez's district until May this year. I was

disgusted by his campaign against Strickland.

He has fulfilled my worst fears. Talk about a neocon fundie rubber stamper, he's the poster boy.

The CBI spokesperson on 9news this morning, said they would be doing a very timely investigation. We shall see. MKJ

7. Is Beauprez a fundie?

Thanks for the great links, above. Someone I know has fallen completely for the immigrant BS & I will forward the links.

8. Of the worst kind. He is GOP bought and paid for.

He embodies the "holier than thou" crap.

Can you tell how I feel about him? :-) MKJ

6. Kicking reporting, vs. repeating. It's worth it.
