AdWatch: Peters ad targets suit against opponent
The Associated Press,
Published: 04:12 p.m., Thursday, September 23, 2010


TITLE: "Trust"

LENGTH: 30 seconds.

AIRING: Began airing Thursday on broadcast and cable outlets in the Detroit area.

PAID FOR BY: Gary Peters' congressional campaign.

SCRIPT: Voter: "From what I've heard, Rocky doesn't sound like someone I can trust."

Narrator: "It's true. Rocky Raczkowski is being sued by his former business partners for theft, fraud and conspiracy."

Voter: "We've had enough of politicians like Rocky."

Narrator: "The case court documents say Rocky set up a concert ticket scheme that bilked his partners out of $6 million. And witnesses say Rocky lied about evidence and destroyed documents to cover it up."

Voter: "If he's ripped off his business partners, how can we trust him?"

U.S. Rep. Gary Peters: "I'm Gary Peters, and I approved this message."

KEY IMAGES: The ad opens with an unidentified 9th Congressional District voter, who appears to be sitting in a kitchen, talking about the trustworthiness of Republican congressional candidate Rocky Raczkowski. It then shows a still photograph of Raczkowski in the foreground with a legal document behind him. The words "Rocky Raczkowski" and "being sued" pop up beside the candidate's picture followed by "theft," ''fraud" and "conspiracy."

The ad then cuts to a second voter's comments before shifting back to another picture of Raczkowski and the lawsuit papers. This time, the words are "Rocky," ''set up scheme," ''bilked $6 million," ''lied about evidence" and "destroyed documents."

A third nameless voter, a man on the street, later provides his thoughts before the ad closes with a picture of Democratic incumbent Rep. Gary Peters sitting at a desk and his voice-over declaring that he approved the ad.

6. Republicans at least have the decency to stab you in the front. n/t.

7. There are more choices than that.

Voting for someone who does not serve your interests?
If I did that I'd be a teabagger, right?

9. Actually I'm not in his district

And no, I'd never want a Rethug in there. I'm still mad at Peters.

Sadly I'm in the 4th where we have no hope to unseat Dave Camp. This district was drawn to keep him safe which is why we need Dems to redraw the lines this time!

10. We could have had Nancy Skinner in that seat.

But the party shoved Peters down our throats
with their dirty dealings.

You may have to settle for lousy representation
in Arizona, but there's no excuse for Peter's
bullshit here in Michigan.

11. You know I ditto that

If that were my district I'd sit out the Congressional race or write Nancy in. But then everyone knows I'm partial. Even if I weren't, this would rely piss me off, as well as him signing the letter against net neutrality. He was a bad choice and the district could have had a real progressive.
