Will Ken Buck, Tea Partiers denounce ‘Taxpayers for Liberty’?

A secretive group that’s apparently backing U.S. Senate candidate Ken Buck is drawing fire from fellow Rocky Mountain Alliance blogger Ben DeGrow. He’s tried to find out who’s behind Taxpayers for Liberty because he thinks they’re using some “sleazy” tactics in their campaign against GOP candidate Jane Norton, the leader in the Senate race. The usually mild-mannered DeGrow doesn’t have a candidate in this race as far as I know. But he thinks it’s time for Buck and the leaders of Tea Party, 9.12 and other conservative groups to denounce the TFL. Based on his reporting so far, I think that would be a good idea, and it should happen before Tuesday’s caucuses. The TFL’s ads are backfiring on Buck, and if it doesn’t clean up its act and tell us who is backing it, Buck will pay the price. Unlike the print and TV media, bloggers follow their stories with frequent updates. And as the story grows, others join in. DeGrow’s story already has been syndicated to http://www.RockyMountainRight.com and to http://www.PeoplesPressCollective.com. So it’s imperative for Buck that this nonsense stop now! His very clean reputation is at stake. I’ve found the TFL attacks on Norton very misleading and unfair even though I don’t have a candidate in the U.S. Senate race. They’ve hurt Buck more than they’ve helped him.
