George A. is incorrect in his defense of Patrick Neville. After all, Mr. Neville was one of the leaders for our party's biggest ass-whuppin' in decades at the mid-terms last November.
Patrick should get plenty of blame for his ineptitude in running that election. George A. maybe ought to figure out reality before he goes on talk radio again.
By the way, George, when you ran for 7th District Congress a couple elections ago, I didn't vote for you. You seemed incapable of giving me a real solid reason to vote for you instead of Perlmutter.
Or, you know, maybe the recall just wasn't that popular…
Right. The company"failed to deliver" because no one wanted to sign.
The interview Jason outlines and the quotes from it follows the usual pattern for Republicans in this state. They always resort to the circular firing squad. This time its the consultants and the moneyed supporters aren't "real Republicans." How could they be? If they were real Republicans the money would have flowed and there would be signed petitions with more than enough signatures which leads to the ultimate question and its the same one every time for the R's: Who do we throw off the island today? They don't realize their real enemy and the reason they are losing elections is themselves.
Never look at your political views or do an analysis of what the public writ large believes because in Republican circles none of that matters. In their mind, they're right and that's the end of it. No compromise – period. Everything is god, guns, gays and abortion. This is an example of where that kind of rigid ideology and thinking has got them. In Arapahoe County in 1980, the Republicans held 100% of the state senate, state house, and county elected offices. Today, they hold 9 out of 25 and in the last election they held on to the county assessor and coroner for the simple reason the Democrats did not run any candidates. The registration in Arapahoe is just as dismal for the Republicans. There are 171,000 unaffiliated, 137,000 Democrats, and only 107,000 Republicans. It represents an obvious conclusion. The Republican Party no longer represents the interests of the vast majority of the people in Arapahoe County and I dare say the state of Colorado. Colorado Republicans need to look inward instead of blaming everybody but themselves for their precipitous decline.
That's some very astute analysis.
You’re right, R36.
You can see that circular firing squad in evidence in the “Recall Polis “ effort. The two recall groups don’t trust each other, are fighting over whose petition will be circulated, and one group (The “original” one) is trying to resurface old fraud allegations against Tom Good, the director of the competing resistpolis pac.
As a Democrat, of course, I couldn’t be more pleased to see this discord. I don’t think Polis has much to worry about.
There’s a much bigger issue, which is what happens when $rump breaks all of his promises , is impeached, resigns, or tries to tough it out with Putin’s help in 2020. . Where will these people stand? What do they do with that carefully-cultivated sense of racial grievance?
First, R-36 nailed it. Second, while Red Flag might not be the best or only way to deal with a person whom a court can credibly find to be a threat to themselves or public safety, the new law is an honest attempt to stave off tragedies or injuries someone reasonably believes could happen. Take the law to court, try to amend it if that would help, but trying to recall a legislator for acting in the interest of preventing tragedy deserves to fail.
Hahahahaha.
Seriously – ha!
It's ridiculous on it's face.
At least Wyoming has the decency to just acknowledge who/what they are.
LIkewise, Steve King (R) Iowa
I think what George really meant to say is that when the Nevilles got ripped off by the consultants, they discovered there just is no honor among thieves anymore.
Republican political strategy firms ARE available in Colorado. One, Magellan Strategies, is run by David Flaherty.
Interesting assessment coming out of 2018 elections is summarized in a podcast and bullet point summary available here.
I'm not seeing how recalls would appeal to the majority of voters in the past election. Failed recalls are likely to not only anger the Democrats and unaffiliated, but demonstrate inability to some of the Republican voters.
And whatever happened to the recall effort concerning Jeff Bridges?
Looked as if it failed to lift off.
Bridges is probably safe from recall attempts, as is Meg Froelich – that is, if COGOP vice chair Brown has her way – and only “ Democrat Senators that are not up for re-election in 2020” will be targeted for recalls. There is no active recall committee for Bridges on TRACER.
However, the Neville’s organization, Recall Colorado, still lists Bridges, Froelich, and others as to be recalled. But that’s just a fundraising ploy for their gullible base.
