Anyone surprised by the continuing antics of this knuckle-dragging shite-for-brains? Nah, me either:
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/ken-buck-ar15-photo-fundraising
In his fundraiser, Bucknut cites “your God-given right to bear arms”? WTF? Do these metastatic mongrels ever say anything that hasn’t been freshly pulled from their asses?
Yeah, that “God-given” bullshit really chaps my ass. These ammosexual morons try to use God as an excuse or a prop for all their stupid, self-serving insane claims of rights or privilege.
They make me sick…
BUT…today is Earth Day and I am going to try to ignore all those fools who make this planet less inhabitable instead of more so….
Plant a tree, ya’ll !! Actually, Arbor day is Friday so …plant TWO trees!!
“Chaps my ass”……how dare you take Rep. Klingenschmidt’s name in vain!
Yes, Chaps most definitely not your ass. Unless you have lady parts. Then whose Sodom ends up in whose Gomorrah is a matter for God to sort out.
As for firearms, I’ve already made it clear that you should sell your clothes and buy a gun! Just make sure open carry is allowed where you live first.
Of course Buck’s going to fundraise from his Twitter selfies – name one other thing this pathetic clown has done since arriving in Washington?
He voted to repeal Obamacare, he cleared out a pizza restaurant, and he’s warned the world about the ISIS camps in Mexico. For a wing nut, that’s a productive four months.
Oh, and he’s replaced Doug Lamborn as the biggest embarrassment in the CO House delegation.
Just wait — I’m sure now that Lamborn is feeling the heat from Buck, he’ll step up his game to retain the title of Chief Clown, Accomplisher of Little or Nothing
not so sure.
CD5 and its Super Conservative Christian voters aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. These voters might now be considered old school: they have a long-term conservatism slowly cultivated by large social institutions down here that remain at the top of the Republican thought food chain (Focus, New Life, AFAcademy, etc……).
Compared to the current crop of Tea-induced craziness that Buck’s relying on, Buck’s voters need that constant anti-guvmint agitation and Obama’s going to confiscate yet gunzzz paranoia so they remember to vote next time.
On a somewhat brighter note, Amy Lathen didn’t get elected mayor.
Good points, Zap. Also a pattern may be emerging — while Lamebrain is like a turtle, that only occaisionally pokes his head out to make a stupid/outrageous comment, Buckhole seems to be in a freshman daze, reveling in the new-found attention his crazy-eyes selfies garner.
Charles and David Koch having a beau-tea contest to decide who they’ll spend their $1Billion on for president:
What does a Modern Day Koch Whore look like?
Thank you, Samuel Alito.
Yup, “articulating a good message to help Americans” begins and ends with Americans named Charles and David Koch.
Eliminating the Postal Service, Social Security, the EPA………..sound familiar?
Obamacare approval at two year high http://www.ifyouonlynews.com/politics/obamacare-approval-hits-a-two-year-high-and-it-is-costing-the-government-less-than-expected/
man accidentally shoots himself in the testicles http://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/Man-Accidentally-Shoots-Himself-Testicles-Los-Angeles-300493331.html?_osource=outbrain_recirc=obinsite
We have a frontrunner for the 2015 Darwin Award!
Naw, he’s still alive.
However, with any luck he hadn’t reproduced.
I believe the qualification to win a Darwin Award is that you remove yourself from the gene pool in an interesting way, not strictly that you kill yourself. If he managed to shoot off both of his testicles I think he’d qualify.
If a State in which the consensus of the electorate is that: the universe is bouncing-baby 6,000 years old, that white Jesus rode Triceratops to church, that guns save lives, that evolution is a demonic scam, and that oil drilling is god’s freedom gift to the righteous, can come to this scientific conclusion:

then why can’t Colorado elect a governor who enjoys a glass of clean water every now and then?
You would rather have Bob Beauprez as the governor? Just sayin’.
Beauprez ’18
Not exactly my point, just sayin’.
But I’ll bet between his ego and his vanity, BWB still has at least one more race in him.
…because no one would primary him….
and by him…I mean Frackenlooper.
Me, too…(sigh). I filled in the little arrow by Hick’s name, and will probably do the same for Bennet, however reluctantly. But it would be good to have someone primary Bennet, or at least mount a decent third-party campaign against him.
These DINOs take their Democratic base entirely for granted, saving their loyalty for their corporate funders.
ugotthatright…
If Bennet doesn’t do something to raise his Colorado profile and popularity, filling in that little arrow reluctantly may not be enough. I bet ten times as many people know at least something about potential opponent Coffman and his association with vet issues (I know but perception is what matters) than could even name Bennet as one of our Senators. I bet new Senator Gardner has better name rec. Bennet pretty much went to DC and fell off Colorado radar. He’s going to have to start fixing that or do us all a favor and get out of the way in time for another more Colorado connected charismatic Dem candidate to start building a campaign. Bennet’s already on the most vulnerable list. I believe his placement there is pretty accurate.

Wichita Kansas is World HQ for Koch Industries. Give the Wealthy whatever they want, send the bill to the Poor!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koch_Industries
The Koches had to issue a clarification today. They have narrowed the list of Republican presidential candidates whom they find acceptable down to five (Jebby, Walker, Cruz, Paul and Rubio…..sorry Ben Carson, Piyush Jindal, Chris Christie, Blanche DuBois Graham, Huck and Frothy Mix Santorum), and plan to spend money promoting all five in the early primaries.
Here’s $$$ saving suggestion: why don’t they keep their wallets closed unless one of the unacceptable ones starts to show some signs of life, then crush that one’s candidacy like a bug?
I don’t think saving money is at the forefront of their strategy. Recall, they’d rather pay $400 million in penalties instead of investing in maintaining the safety and integrity of their pipelines and equipment (see Environmental and Safety Record in link above).
But since all 11 candidates have enthusiastically kissed the Koch ring, it must be devastating to the lower tier 6 to be deemed toxic waste by the experts in, well, toxic waste.
Also shows that even a “moderate” like Jebby pretends to be is actually just another bought and paid for puppet, and willingly if given the chance, will sell out Americans in favor of his two benefactors.
Given the list — Jebby, Walker, Cruz, Paul and Rubio — either the Kochs have broadened their ideological beliefs, or there isn’t a dime’s worth of difference among the bunch. I’m betting on the latter.
“It’s good to be king a white guy!”
I suppose that depends upon your definition of the phrase “gone well.” If your objective is to become something akin to Somalia (no taxes and theocratic nut cases running around loose), then the Kansas experiment is coming along nicely.
He wants to tax the HMOs. But Aetna isn’t having it. They’re saying insurance policies would go through the roof in KS. Poor Brownback. He might (shudder, shudder) have to accept Medicaid subsidies through Obamacare to fund some of the ginorme Kansas deficit.
The consequences of Tea Party budgets….
Six Kansas school districts have announced that they need to close early this year due to budget shortfalls originating in state funding cuts. A court has ruled that the Kansas state government is not living up to its constitutional educational funding requirements (remember that lawsuit here in Colorado?) and needs to pony up at least $500m more in funds to the state’s public schools. But the legislature and governor aren’t planning to do that.
Down in Louisiana, Gov. Jindal’s proposed budget has no fewer than 20 state colleges and universities preparing bankruptcy documentation. Even LSU says they’ll need to file for protection if Jindal’s budget goes through. Way to pick an idol in Gov. Brownback, Gov. Jindal!
In Florida, Gov. Scott has filed suit against the Federal government to force it to extend a pilot program that would help the state fill a gap in Medicaid spending caused in part by a planned series of tax cuts. But they won’t take Federal money for Medicaid expansion through Obamacare, because – well, I’m guessing it’s because the nickname for it has the word ‘Obama’ in it. Not coming up with the money will probably lead to the shuttering of (more) Florida hospitals in the next fiscal year.
The time is now to get in front of an expected massive influx of diseased Orange County Laura Woods anti-vaxer refugee voters . . .

. . . we could either build some kind of very high barrier wall . . .
. . . or we could pass similar sensible legislation to protect the health of our citizenry, and scatter the potential disease vectors of ours into diaspora in Kansas, Wyoming, and parts redder!
Shepard Fairey Earth Day imagery.
Taking a cue from Tom Cotton and his posse writing to the ayatollahs, the state senate takes up SJM15-002 which memorializes the legislature views on negotiations with Iran. The sponsors are Lambert, Lundberg, Balmer, Cadman in the senate, and Mini Timmy, Humphrey and Dr. Joshi in the house.
After subsisting for days on only Chick-fil-A and the tears of House Democrats, I’ve reached the conclusion that I’m needed in the state Senate.
With your potential constituents, I bet your a shoe in. Congrats.
Denver “2015” Auditors Election
O’Brien was approved by the Colorado Legislator to be the State Auditor 12 years. He has guided a large department of people to conduct 750 State audits. Saving the state $200,000,000. He has been a licensed CPA in the state since 1974. Look at his web site, seeing all of these facts, O’Brien has the leadership and experience for the best auditor for our city. I don’t see any Auditing or Accounting experience in the background of Nevitt.
He keeps saying “none of the others have”. Noting Nevitt has been on the City Council for 8 years, how can he conduct an audit of the Council with out it being a conflict of interest? He has accepted money from devlopers that are chosen by the Council.
Watching the two debates, Nevitt stumbles his way with his answers to the questions. He clearly has no idea how to run this office. Anyone wonder how Nevitt has all of this backing from the Politcials in this city when this guy has no experience of any kind of experience in Auditing field?
O’brien is running as an Independent and doesn’t want to be associated with and party. No favors owed or expected from anyone.
