Well,…said another away:
My pension is safe I may as well get another gov't job.
Sure- guns for kidnappers, cop killers and whatever felons want one. These guys don't follow the law anyway – and as a sheriff I would not enforce them even if I could. In fact, since bank robbers don't obey the law and banks still get robbed – no more laws against bank robbery. Domestic violence still occurs depsite the laws against it – so no more laws prohibiting it (besides, we all know law enforcement hates these calls the most). Rapes still occur despite all the laws against it. (And anyway- we all know about buyer's remorse and other false claims…we may as well have laws against short skirts and bikinis.)
See – it's not about good government or even being a great country. It's about power, and if we can get more, that's better.
This guy hates the government so much, he's never really worked outside of it. He hates the Colorado Constitution so much that he wants to subvert it. ANd in the end, his
hatepassion motivates him to run for office. How many years does he need in the legislature to get another pension?Great comment!
You'd better shut up about pensions before Colorado WINS hears you! 😉
Since redistricting, SD13 is slightly less overwhelmingly republican. Renfroe won his first race with 60% and both the demographics and the shape of the district has changed since then. Combined with Cooke’s tendency to be publicly stupid, this race isn’t necessarily a gimme for the GOP
What is the post-redistricting breakdown for this district? I'd love for you to be right!
I'm no doubt reading the data wrong since the registration figures used in the redistricting kept things pretty much even- 29% D, 36% R, 33% U. I don't have any more recent registration data. The same redistricting figures puts the ethnic makeup as about 58% white, a drop from 65%.
Looking at the map, the new district swaps a huge portion of rural Weld for the Hwy 85 corridor, including Fort Lupton. Even if the registration figures work out the same, the relative compactness of the new district makes a larger voter population reachable to traditional Dem registration and GoTV methods.
Cooke hasn't had to run a real campaign in years since his party affiliation virtually guaranteed a win in his countywide office. The dude will likely still win, but if Joe Perez puts as much effort into his own campaign as he did organizing for Obama in 2008 then Cooke ain't gonna win by much.
