  1. Here is my complaint with Bob Beauprez. He was in two very close elections in a very moderate and split district yet he votes along party line nearly 100% of the time. 99% party vote despite the party is not in the best interest of Colorado and his constitutes. We need Colorado leadership that will not forget they represent Colorado voters. How will he represent Colorado’s best interest if he cannot even represent District 7’s best interest?

  2. Something I’ve noticed about Beauprez: in his 2002 primary he outraised his closest competition by a factor of nearly 3X and still barely squeaked by. In the 2002 general, he raised a lot more than Feeley and won by a razor-thin margin. This doesn’t really bode well for his performance in the primary or the general election.

  3. Overturn Roe vs. Wade

    Let me start off by saying I’m a liberal. I’ve donated to MoveOn.org (not recently), walked precincts, taking my daughters, to help get out the vote, and am glad to see Howard Dean as chairman of the party. I also

  4. Oh please, Beauprez is a Congressman of impeccable honor and character. To even insinuate he had any contact with Duke Cunningham, or any of the other House Republicans under ethical clouds, is absurd.

  5. Beauprez never fooled anyone with that dairy farmer charade. eveyone knows he is a water sucking real estate developer

    Thank god for Ed Perlmutter. We can get some real leadership in the 7th.

  6. cd7: The truth of the matter is that Bob Beauprez is a respected community leader and dairy farmer who has blown away two consecutive dems and will proceed to blow another one away in the Governor’s race!

  7. “Beauprez never fooled anyone with that dairy farmer charade. eveyone knows he is a water sucking real estate developer.
    Thank god for Ed Perlmutter.”

    Uh, so bad old Beauprez was using water for homes and parks and schools that God and Ed Perlmutter wanted to go to Wal-Mart?  Can you spell h y p o c r i t e?  I guess Perlmutter shills want to run against Beauprez, who isn’t running for the 7th CD, so they don’t have to answer hard questions from Peggy Lamm, who is.

  8. That’s hurts BWB more than he knows. Chuck lost El Paso the School Board races and is seen as being more loyal to Schuck and Owens than the party loyalists.  Vicki is a good gal, though.

  9. Pot — I think Peggy Lamm needs to answer her own hard questions.  Question number one is why she supported Bill Owens instead of Rollie Heath? Question number two is why she then lied about that support when she decided to run for Congress as a Democrat.  These hard questions are still unanswered.

  10. HardQuestionsIndeed:

    Rollie and the whole Heath family has it out for Peggy.  It’s not a hard question, she did not support Bill Owens, she voted for Rollie Heath.  End of story.

    These petty-Perlmutter attacks are designed to throw folks off of Ed’s questionable record on environmental issues and his support for vouchers.  How about those questions?  Those are REAL hard questions Ed STILL has not answered.

  11. Beauprez_fan- why don’t you go look at Big Duke’s records. Bobby B. was one of the few congressman privileged enough to receive large donations from Cunningham.

  12. “Some think that borders are nonsense and we should just throw them around the planet Earth,and others want to put up a fence and close off immigration and kick down doors in the middle of the night and send those who don’t have proper documentation out of the country. Somewhere in the middle there’s a solution that I think we have to find and then enforce.”- Bob Beauprez

    Jeeze, can this guy take a position on anything?

  13. That is the best move the Beauprez campaign has made yet.  Broerman knows Colorado grassroots organizing better than any other political operative in the state.  This move will help Beauprez shore up the base and win the primary.

  14. The primary is in the bag now. Broerman will solidify the base and along with St. Clair’s years of experience will make Beauprez an unstoppable juggernaut.

  15. I like Chuck, but I really don’t think recent history backs up all the hype in the previous posts. Indeed, there is a lot of distrust among the grassroots activists in El Paso given Chuck’s blatant lack of impartiality inthe 2004 Senate Primary. He will certainly pull in a number of Mary Harold’s circle, but the “grassroots” activists? He’ll get one… If you count Vicki.

  16. I assume you’re all talking about Beauprez’s campaign manager Jack St. Martin, not “St. Clair.”

    And I would hardly say that he has “years of experience” or that he is going to make Beauprez “unstoppable.”

  17. so, does beauprez’s hiring of an out-of-state campaign manager mean he is going to shut up about legitt being from out-of-state? at the moment, bill ritter is the only candidate with an in-state campaign team. i for one am proud to support bill ritter and his in-state campaign team in contrast to the out-of-state influence of the corrupt republicans.

  18. Bob hired Chuck…. HA, HA, HA, HA!

    A Holtzman victory in EL Paso is definitely in the bag now. Who’s next? The BB Camp gonna hire Ted Halaby to be your Denver County Chairman in the hopes of pulling in the disgruntled trial lawyer vote?

    Hey guys, I hear the clock is about to toll for Ward Churchill. Maybe you can throw some cash his way and he?ll come on board as your Boulder County Chairman!

    By the way, isn’t there a rule about hiring “volunteers”? I believe it is right up there with Physicians operating on themselves.

  19. Shortly after BB’s Mom fell and broke her hip, I met with him and his staff to initiate a state-wide fall prevention initiative that was supported by many local hospitals, rehab groups, senior advocacy groups and others. In this face to face meeting, Bob was all smiles, positive statements, “I can get federal monet for this”, etc. As I walked out of his office I heard him say to his staff, “This is great!”. A week later I couldn’t get his staff to return my phone calls.

    Now there are those of you (Iron Mike, Gecko and Go Raiders) who will try to turn this against me. I’m just the messenger. A state wide fall prevention initiative could save the state in the $10’s of millions of dollars (prevention does pay. BB lost interest within minutes. Much like the boots he licks (GB) who can’t keep his focus on anything long enough to make it successful. Osama been forgotten for instance.

  20. Bobby just can’t get a break. His corrupt buddies in the GOP Congress are all getting indicted, Holtzman makes a fool out of him by launching a massive push aimed at students, and on top of it all he comes in fourth place in the Gov’s poll.

    If this is the best the GOP can produce, I think we’re looking at Governor Ritter.

  21. GOV Ritter huh?

    Is that before or after Pat Waak finishes her search for another candidate to Primary him?

    This Democrat unity stuff is starting to get thin guys. Postings from your own disgruntled, Pro-Choice membership betrays the party line. At least we in the GOP aren’t lying to ourselves, and yes we are willing to fight it out in the Public Arena. You DEMs are still trying to “back room deal” your way into the GOV Mansion.

    Who’s the next DEM GOV candidate going to be? I know, go grab PDT. He’s the Douglas Chair for the DEM Party I hear. Have him run, he’ll bring all Douglas County along! And Angie P. might get a magority of the vote in Weld & Mogan counties also!(Now that was funny)

  22. Iron Mike:

    This Democrat unity stuff is starting to get thin guys. Postings from your own disgruntled, Pro-Choice membership betrays the party line.  At least we in the GOP aren’t lying to ourselves, and yes we are willing to fight it out in the Public Arena.

    We nominated a moderate Dem in ’04, and got him elected.  Can you say Senator Salazar?

    You guys nominated the Beer Man, spent millions of dollars to sell us your “Coors is Really a Moderate” bull-kaka — never mind the fact that funneled millions into right wing extremist organizations — and you have nothing to show for it.  He didn’t even help you guys down-ticket.

    Tell you what, Mikey, go with your heart and nominate another right wing ideologue.  As for me, well, I got tired of losing.

  23. Robin,
    Quick question… How do you prevent people from falling down?

    Are we looking at a statewide system of Bungee cords that we all have to be attached to?

  24. To my esteemed fellow posters SS and “GOV Ritter”, I most humbly submit from the neighboring thread…

    “I worked with Madden a few years ago and there was no one in this state that worked harder for the downticket.  She worked tirelessly to win the majority in the house and don’t worry about funds she can raise them and quickly. She is a true democrat, though she will have to work hard to get her name rec up but it can and has been done. I would put all my weight behind a woman lawyer from Boulder who believes in my beliefs about choice any day. Run Alice you have backing.

    Posted by: SS at January 8, 2006 10:02 PM”

    But you just keep telling yourselves that everyone loves Ritter and you are one big happy party.

  25. Preventing falls is easy, Go Raiders.  Just repeal the law of gravity.  It’s a dumb law anyway and Congress shouldn’t have passed it in the first place.
