New Video: Smith's Old Tune

Tired of Gordon Smith’s tune?

So are we.

That’s why we released this video today on Gordon Smith’s:

-Say Anything style

-Voting with President Bush 90 percent of the time

-Ducking the big issues

-Opposition to U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden’s bill to combat global warming

-Opposition to a woman’s right to choose


“Gordon Smith is out of tune with Oregon’s interests,” DPO Chair Meredith Wood Smith said. “He has been criticized by Oregon newspapers and his own supporters for his contradictions, fact bending and inaccuracies. He votes with President Bush 90 percent of the time, opposes U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden’s effort to combat climate change and does not believe in a woman’s right to choose. Gordon Smith sings from the same page as the special interests and remains out of tune with the interests of Oregon’s working families.”

Gordon Smith is a bushie stooge through and through. His slavish devotion to the neocon agenda is a disgrace to his office and makes him unfit to represent us as an advocate for Oregonians, or our Constitution, as his loyalties obviously lay elsewhere.

I heartily agree that Gordon Smith is a terrible politician, but if you plan on having your video go viral you really need to fix that one up so that it doesn't look like someone made it in ten minutes and ripped off the sound bites, or just get a new video. I sincerely hope Gordon Smith never receives another vote, and I want to do everything I can to make that happen.

I agree, Chris. The video is a very poor effort. I oppose Gordon Smith too, but this video has "Epic Fail" written all over it. Just really, really bad.

I don't think you will convince anyone of anything with this video. The tone is ugly and it's completely unclear whether the voice is Gordon Smith's or whether he said any of those things. I'm a lifelong Democrat but I wouldn't give a penny to support more ads like that.

Learn More??

Looks like YOU need to learn more. That video is disgusting and makes it look as if Poor Gordon is being attacked my idiots. I'll bet he donates.
Get rid of that trash. And leave me OUT!

The video is BAD. I don't believe the voice is Smith's, and the graphics are silly. Surely, there is no lack of real footage, or print, that shows this guy for what he is. I would never vote for him.

The contrast between the quality and class of Barack Obama's speech today on race and the lack of either in your video on Senator Smith reflects one aspect of what Barack is fighting against in the world of politics. Please present the arguments in a way that brings out the best in the debate, not the worse.

You've got to be kidding me!! Is this what you need to fall to slander Gordon? It's pretty pathetic. I can't believe that you guys would fall so low. It makes me think less of democrats and then Gordon. Really, has any left the 6th grade yet and become an adult!?!

...And you expect to raise money with this video? Pull it at once. It is so pathetic it is embarrassing.

Please, please, please! Take down this video. I know the DPO can find someone with better skills to make another video. If we are going to advertise like this, it should look professional.

Hum... This must be some sort of rovian effort to make the stopgordonsmith.com crew look like teenage hacks. It actually leads one to surmise that mr. smith is being opposed by silly kids. It's just about the poorest effort I've seen in this election cycle, even if it's true! If it's not a rove job, it's from the gang that can't shoot straight. You shot yourself in the foot with this one!

First of all I'd like to make a comment to all of you ignorant people out there. I'd like to see any of you try to do/attempt something like this. Don't start trashing a persons' work, unless you know for a fact that you could do it better. This video is exactly what the Democratic Pary needs; witty, funny, and most important, it will stay with you.
