We had our window and we blew it.Tim Allport lost to the szabot by around 1600 votes.
I'd mentioned earlier that IMO, Tim lost partially because he was WAAAAY too nice. He had a smorgasboard of szabot filth to throw back at her, and he declined.
He went issues in a "faith based" pinko infested District, where the 3,000 red registration advantage is primarily made up of an ankle biting christ-ee crowd, denis szabot faith bible lemmings, that are 3 issue based. Anti-choice, anti Civil Unions, and President Obama not only being a Kenyan/Marxist/Muslim/white hating christian (I know, both at the same time…..go figure), but of all things, "the anti-christ" as well.
He cut the pinko advantage by half with a solid and extremely focused and disciplined campaign, but missed the opportunity to close the deal, leaving the szabot's own legislative record on womens' issues such as contraception and screenings, anti-choice rhetoric, and vile, hatefull, and very agressive opposition to Civil Unions on the table, unused.
Well, the crazy szabot and her even more crazy husband have teed it up in 27 for another challenger.
Personally, I'd love to see Tim run again.
With a whole lot more attitude.
Have others in the legislature descended to these depths? Or is it just Szabo?
You mean, is it just Assisant Minority Leader Szabo?
Do you think maybe Colorado deserves legislators that don't leave us unprotected against pedophiles? Our state is only 1 of 5 that doesn't have this law. Why would we not have this protection?
I'm not speculating about Ferrandino's motives, but if you don't think there is a huge problem with killing this bill, you're in denial. He should be asked to explain. It's even worse when you won't protect Coloradans from pedophiles but WILL restrict their 2nd Amendment rights.
Colorado Pols always talks about optics. The optics of this are a nightmare for Democrats, not Republicans.
Reading comprehension fail
How so? Please respond to the issue at hand.
Hey Guppy, because our current laws are as strong or stronger.
This – but AGOP doesn't want to hear that fact.
Easy. Scroll up. But, if you can't be bothered, here's an important tidbit: " In her article posted Tuesday morning, Bartels notes that the entire law enforcement community and even legal scholars agree that the law, which imposes mandatory minimum sentences on those who sexually assault children, isn’t needed in Colorado. "
So, I guess "how so" is that you're either not a great reader, or disingenuous.
Then why do almost all states have the law? What about Colorado makes us willing to protect pedophiles when others won't? Don't tell me about the "life sentence," Pols knows that's bull because it's not a mandatory life sentence.
Why is it ok to protect pedophiles in Colorado?
Why don't you ask the Colorado District Attorneys' Council? They're in a better position to know than you, me, or probably anybody on this blog. I imagine most are Republicans, too.
Come on DA's don't like mandatory sentences either, it takes away their ability to wheel and deal. Why shouldn't we have mandatory minimum sentences for pedophiles? You should be able to answer that without a talking points memo.
Chili going in the crock pot and it will be really ready when I get back from Spanish class at 9:30
So, by your logic, the Colorado GOP was pro-pedophile the last few years, when they did nothing to protect the kids? When did you guys decide to stop protecting the pedophiles, as you had in the past?
well, Guppy, clearly you have been back to Troll Boot Camp
I almost never respond directly to you, ArapaGOP, but I must respond to your question — "Why is it ok to protect pedophiles in Colorado?" Ask your fellow Republican Baumgardner why he harbored a failed-to-register convicted sex offender in his home last spring (the arrested offender was then bailed out of jail by a Baumgardner family member). He will be able to tell you why it is "ok to protect pedophiles in Colorado."
Why do you allways have to be baby sat?
Yeah, Gray just answered you, but for crying out loud, do you read?
Anything?
There are obvious pratfalls in not passing this legislation as currently written. Some States have redleg legislatures, scared of primary reaction if they do their jobs. It's easier to go along with anything ALEC. It takes courage to do what the Colorado Democrats are doing.
Snipes like oreilly, the szabot, and other opportunists, coffman last November to name another, preach to the willfully ignorant, you for instance, that this legislation is stronger than what we have now, which it's not.
Read the materials at hand. I shouldn't have to do this, but here's some reading for you. Erin Jemison, Colorado Coalition against Sexual Violence. Also, just fucking google the District Attorneys' take on this.
Are you daft?
It's about appeals, you lummox. It's about having months of hard work flushed down the toilet when the verdicts don't stand up.
With you, I should be gettin' paid for baby sitting. I'm not that patient a person, and pinko slowskis, by design or by genes, get on my nerves.
Hey Szabo: ask your preacher husband what "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor" means.
I live in the district that Szabo claims to represent…she is pathetic, What I'd give to have Sara Gagliardi back….
The only good thing that can be said about Libby Szabo is she is teaching the sane residents of Arvada what the FBC zealots are really about. Szabo is the perfect representative of brainless believer bigotry.
The reason Lynn Bartels has her job is her willingness to pull punches at just the right moment. It was no accident. The less the public knows about the lies and insanity being used to churn up the nuts, the more legitimate their crazy outrage looks. She is helping keep the Rs in the fight by only reporting the effect and not the cause.
It pisses me the fuck off.
