You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
Hey Bernie,
ReplyDeleteWho paid for this?
Nice post, except Ott has proposed none of the three things you cite.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the convoluted logic that comes next
Hah!
ReplyDeletevery clever bernie, and put together like a real flyer. considering how negative muller's flyers have been, i could almost see him sending something like that, if he totally abandoned all morals of fair play.
ReplyDeleteO”Hare why are you promoting this ad?
ReplyDeleteI thought this was everything you claim to hate about negative ads
Unattributed accusations and statements that can’t be proven - complete with the grainy rendering of the opponent’s face.
Classic mudslinging.
This smacks of desperation to me.
And yet you are promoting it.
Go figure!
I like it for Halloween.
DeleteThis is part of an email blast going out as we speak. It is being paid for by the Muller campaign, and the necessary disclosures are contained in the email blast. I am not being paid anything by anyone, and decide what I want to post.
ReplyDeleteRumor has it there will be an opportunistic endorsement.

ReplyDeleteYou are correct that Ott hasn't specifically cut the items listed. However, when asked what he would cut, he rather emphatically said "everything I legally can". That statement covers all the items on the list and many, many more.
Sleazy is Sleazy no matter what day it is.
ReplyDeleteFormer head of UnityPAC and Lehigh County Exec Matt Croslis has endorsed Scott Ott in the race crossing party lines in a brave move that would make his dear friend Jim Gregory proud.
ReplyDeleteIf this is what Muller is reduced to doing at this late hour, this race is all but over.
ReplyDeleteAnon 1103am here - I thought this was a parody. If it's real, my opinion of Muller, already low, just dropped another notch.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately my opinion of Ott remains lower.
This election sucks.
Muller hasnt pressed Ott enough on farmland preservation. Ott has in public forums stated he was against the growing greener referendums. He also in general doesn't support referendums as a tool at all. . .
ReplyDeleteMuller has missed alot of opportunities. Hopefully voters are smart enough to connect dots themselves.
There are some areas farmland preservation has supermajority support. Muller should have tried to reign it in by taking a clear position in favor.

ReplyDeleteIt's all he's done for the whole campaign
Pretty sleazy ad.
ReplyDeletefrom an artistic standpoint, excellent work
ReplyDeleteStill neg with five days to go. Not a good sign for Muller. What a missed opportunity. Has Fleck been involved from the beginning? This winnable campaign seems a disaster. How does Fleck continue to get work?
ReplyDelete1:36, remember Muller is not really a politician. He's done a remarkable job for someone who has never run a campaign before, and may very well pull off an upset of the Wizard of Ott.
ReplyDeletein your dreams
ReplyDeleteWell then his "handlers" are doing a piss poor job. In an exec race you have consultants, handlers, campaign staff. They may still lost a very winnable campaign.
ReplyDelete" He's done a remarkable job"
ReplyDeleteNo he hasn't, he has done a piss poor job. He is losing a race against an insane person. Muller has all the old Cunningham hacks and money at his disposal and he still isn't more likable than an angry teabagger. That is hard to do.
You give him credit were no credit is due. He is as he has always been, a clueless arrogant ass.
