Michael Bennet (D-CO) wants you to believe he is a fisherman, outdoorsman, and conservationist. That is why he posted <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/democrats\/colorado-dem-obtains-24-hour-fishing-license-to-shoot-campaign-ad\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a campaign commercial<\/a><\/strong> of himself fly fishing in Colorado with a guide. The guide, a supposed independent but in reality a county commissioner who has voted Democratic in several election cycles, endorses Bennet. Commissioner Greg Felt asserts that Bennet is always focused on Colorado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interestingly, the video of his commercial on YouTube doesn&#8217;t allow any comments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zfgniAs-MQ8\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:24px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/local\/denver\/2022\/08\/05\/colorado-recount-affirms-primary-results-tina-peters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Axios<\/a><\/strong>, Bennet only bought a Colorado resident one-day fishing license for the filming of the ad. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/cpw.state.co.us\/Documents\/RulesRegs\/Brochure\/fishing.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">According to Colorado Parks and Wildlife<\/a><\/strong>, that license costs $14.46. I am a great believer in frugality but I also believe in supporting wildlife and fisheries conservation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am not a multi-millionaire with a large campaign budget but I am certain I could have afforded to pay $36.71 to get a resident&#8217;s annual license. That money would have gone to help support that which he says he supports. I guess he believes it is better to support it with your money and not his own personal money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Years ago, I served multiyear terms as both treasurer and president of the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.landoskytu.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Land O&#8217; Sky Chapter of Trout Unlimited<\/a><\/strong>. One of the service projects many of us volunteered to help with was <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/castingforrecovery.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Casting for Recovery<\/a><\/strong>. Their events were meant to assist survivors of breast cancer in their recovery. Most of these women had never held a fly rod nor cast a fly before that weekend. Nonetheless, they were more skillful in casting a fly than the good senator in this ad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This ad is the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2004\/10\/22\/politics\/campaign\/kerry-on-hunting-photoop-to-help-image.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2022 equivalent of John Kerry going pheasant hunting<\/a><\/strong> when he was running for president. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I hate politicians and their damn photo ops!<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
