Valerie Plame for Congress. Have you seen this ad?

[Arkansas Granny]

[hlthe2b]

1. I like it taking Trump (and prev. RW admins) on directly...

It gets her attention, that's for sure. Now that she's done so, she needs to underscore what she intends to do for NM residents (beyond "settling scores" ) but I think it is a great opener.

[busterbrown]

26. The Message she sent to me is:

We can't take any more shit from the Republican supporters of Trump..Predicated by the fact that Bush and his cronies were responsible for thousand of deaths based on a freaking lie.. "Yellowcake"

[calimary]

52. That is one Badass commercial!

But she’d already have my vote without it.

Vindictive fuckers blew her cover to spite her husband - thus depriving America of a shrewd, hard-working, and internationally well-connected tracker of nuke-minded bad guys.

That’d be almost as bad as if some greedy, incompetent, lying, self-absorbed, psychopathic schmuck got in bed with the Russians to cheat his way into the White House or something.





Oh, wait...

[maddiemom]

77. I've seen Plame and Joe Wilson speak and answer questions.

They were fairly subtle but delightfully snarky regarding the Bush/Cheney administration.

[Hoyt]

3. Awesome ad.

[mopinko]

4. i love it.

you go grl.

[jayschool2013]

5. Valerie Plame

Badass Democrat for the U.S. House!

[SergeStorms]

6. Oh great. Just great!

Now there's another democratic political campaign that I'll gladly contribute to. And this one is personal.

[Arkansas Granny]

25. I know. I told Tom Cotton (ugh) that every time he hit me up for money, I was going to send

a donation to a Democrat. I think Ms. Plame will be the next recipient.

[calimary]

53. I'll be right behind ya!

I’ve been a fan of this woman for awhile now. It’d be fantastic to see her in Congress!

[2naSalit]

7. K&R

[debsy]

8. Time to move back to New Mexico!

My husband was fortunate enough to have sat next to Ms. Plame on a flight back to ABQ a few years ago. They spoke the entire flight about the whole mess Bush/Cheney created for her and the whole country. He was so impressed by her. She will make a fabulous senator!

[marked50]

12. Just a note- She's running for Congress not the Senate--n/t

[virgogal]

21. The Senate IS part of Congress.

[marked50]

28. My Bad. Running for House not Senate.

[lunatica]

24. She's running for Ben Lujan's seat

He’s my Congressman and is running for the Senate in 2020 so it’s a vacant seat.

I will proudly vote for her. She’s a proven patriot who did literally put her life on the line for her country!

[mountain grammy]

67. I do love Ben Lujan

but would love to see Plame take on Moscow Mitch!

[lunatica]

69. I'm hopeful Ben Lujan will be our Senator

He’s good and responds to his constituents. I wrote to him about impeaching Trump and his response was subject specific and not a vague form letter. He’s for impeachment. At least in his response to me.

[mountain grammy]

70. He'll be a great Senator.

[lunasun]

9. Kick

[iscooterliberally]

10. I do hope she wins! n/t

[democrank]

11. No more wishy-washy....

Fight like our country depends on it!

[ffr]

13. Kick ass ad!

It's time for the adults in the room to assume control. I'm with her!

[bucolic_frolic]

14. Can't go wrong with patriotism, motherhood, muscle cars, and apple pie

and 2 scoops of Republican corruption!

Grab that ad agency! They are stable geniuses!

[onetexan]

20. second that, that hot lady is tough as nails!!

And coming from an amazing state at that!! She kicks butt.
Forgot to say i love the no apologies, no we-go-high style. It's time the gloves are off and Dems bring a bazooka to a gun fight.

Valeries for Congress!!

[SCVDem]

15. I thought of Frohicke

"She's hot!"

Payback time for treason!

[onetexan]

16. DAMNNN THAT'S GOOD!!!

Go Valerie!!

[ewagner]

64. Whew!!!

I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like this!

I think she should be in Congress...I did before this commercial and still do!

[elleng]

31. 'I come from Ukrainian Jewish immigrants.'

[still_one]

40. and I come from Russian Jewish immigrants around Minsk Ellen

[elleng]

43. PLAME stated this in her ad.

(Not sure exactly where mine were from, Russia/Poland/Rumania.)

[still_one]

45. That may be Ellen, but from my perspective that tweet represented something underlying about her

views

[Mosby]

89. She took a stab at Jew-washing her past Antisemitism

Didn't work.

[mtngirl47]

18. Great Ad!

Valeria Plame will be a fabulous Congresswoman!

[Wounded Bear]

19. That's gonna scare some misogynistic man-boys outta their shit...

Go Ms Plame!

[Fla Dem]

59. Exactly what I thought! Great candidate. Wish she was running against the 2 losers we have in Fla.

[TygrBright]

22. She's got an uphill battle in El Norte, but this is gonna help! n/t

[Enoki33]

23. Now, so much more than ever, we desperately need her.

[northoftheborder]

27. Great ad, great candidate!!!

[SunSeeker]

29. Dayum. She is badass. Love her!

[FM123]

30. Great ad!

I kept humming Sheryl Crow's song Steve McQueen through the whole thing...

[aeromanKC]

32. Say My Name

[calguy]

33. She's got a great chance to take that seat

[NoMoreRepugs]

34. Damn!

[lagomorph777]

65. Daaaaayyyyyyuuuuummmmm! OMG

I have never EVER seen any ad EVER (political or not) that powerful.

[Sucha NastyWoman]

35. Wow! Wow! Wow!

Exactly what we need!

[Mme. Defarge]

36. Holy crap!

I might move to New Mexico just to give her my vote.

[blm]

48. Hahaha. And thousands of others.

[Botany]

38. Bad Ass!

Loves me some Val Plame.

[Cyrano]

39. Go Valerie

We'll never know how many of your operatives were murdered because of Dick Cheney. But once you're in congress, do everything you can to hold traitors from Cheney to Trump, and all their enablers and henchmen, accountable.

[mainer]

41. Whoa. Talk about high production values.

She had some pretty brilliant people working on this ad.

[Chimichurri]

42. Holy shite that was the best ad I've ever seen

[mnhtnbb]

44. What a FABULOUS ad! Good for her.

[Doreen]

46. I like her.

She's cool.

[blm]

47. GREAT AD!!!!!!!!

[Mme. Defarge]

49. Reminds me of this!

[SleeplessinSoCal]

50. She and others running need to remind voters about "Death Panels".

Make a political ad showing how Republicans, their lobbyist cohorts, Conservative Evangelicals and the insurance industry are the actual death panels.

[RoadRunner]

51. I live in her district

If she wins the primary, she’ll win the seat. We don’t do GOP up here.

[lunatica]

71. I also live in her district.

NM is blue and ahead of the curve.

[mr_lebowski]

54. OH F***ING HELL TO THA YES ...

That's what I'm talking about right there!

NICE!

Go Valerie!!!

[amuse bouche]

55. Amazing. That is badass.

You go girl

[Pepsidog]

56. Awesome!!

[bluecollar2]

57. Now THAT'S a campaign commercial

I hope the DNC is watching.

[BadgerMom]

58. Yowza! Meet my new Representative come 11/2020!

[BadgerMom]

60. I don't think we've included this link yet.

I’ve visited!

[dajoki]

61. Great!!!

It seems that she could have a very bright future.

[Karadeniz]

62. I LOVE it! I hope they run it a million times...it'll never get old...LOVE her swagger at the end!❤

[gordianot]

63. Surprising that it turns out that those of us called Pinkos are at this point.

Yes there are a few scores to settle. Turns out the so called liberals are more willing to support laws, defense and IC.

[proud patriot]

66. AWESOME

man that ad rocks

[JCannon]

68. What about Larry Johnson?

Very impressive ad. But Valerie Plame needs to explain her linkage to "former" CIA man Larry Johnson, who functioned as her spokesman during the scandal. Johnson used his Plame connection to ingratiate himself with the left. He even delivered the Democratic Radio Response to the outing of Plame (which you can still find on YouTube).

Then he revealed his true colors as a far-right asshole. Johnson's now-defunct site No Quarter was, arguably, the birthplace of Birtherism. He invented the Michelle Obama "Whitey" tape smear. He turned against Hillary hard, using his site to spread every possible lie and fabrication about the Clintons. He accused John Kerry of rape. Johnson created the false story that GCHQ (Britain's NSA) wiretapped Trump -- a story which Trump himself endorsed. Currently, Johnson is a big supporter of Michael Flynn and a vehement hater of Jim Comey. In short and in sum, Larry Johnson is Alex Jones without the whimsy.

I want to like Valerie Plame. But she needs to explain her association with a creep like Johnson. That explanation better come fast and it had better be really goddamned convincing.

Otherwise, I am going to retreat to the standard lefty position that there's no such thing as a "former" spook -- and that there's a reason why the word "spy" rhymes with "lie." Johnson proved to be a sheep-dipped rat. How do we know that Plame isn't playing a similar game?
