Ken Buck Hit Hard On Birth Control, Abortion In New DSCC Ad

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee is up with a new ad in Colorado, a harsh spot that goes after Republican Senate nominee Ken Buck on women's issues.

"We've been using birth control for decades, but Ken Buck supported making common forms of birth control illegal," a narrator says towards the beginning of the ad.

The commercial continues, moving on to abortion. "Ken Buck wants to make abortion illegal, even in the most dire circumstances," the voice continues.

The ad then hits on an alleged rape case that Buck decided not to prosecute. Buck later said that a jury could see her accusations as a case of "buyer's remorse." In the commercial, the narrator moves on to the spot's harshest text. "Ken Buck refused to prosecute a rape case, even though the attacker confessed. The victim says Buck blamed her." On the screen, large text says, "KEN BUCK BLAMED THE VICTIM."

Each line is punctuated with a woman saying, "He doesn't get it." The ad closes with the narrator responding, "So let's make sure we don't get Ken Buck."

1. Sounds like a take no prisoners approach...

there should be more of that.

2. Nice punchline

Just when I thought "He doesn't get it" was turning a bit stale and boring, they found a great way to transform it into a new tagline.

Buck sucks!

3. Good. It's well past time we started calling these nutjobs on their wack-a-doo agenda.

The far right wants to throw women in prison (if not give them the Death Penalty) for using oral contraceptives, which they consider tantamount to abortion. For way too long our people have been cowering in fear of imaginary "values voters" and hesitant to bring up reproductive rights, even though THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS ARE PRO CHOICE.

We need to remind voters every day that these crazies want to outlaw fucking for non-procreative purposes.

The 'party of smaller government'- so small it fits inside your pants.

4. That last line would make a great bumper sticker! n/t
