Elect a cheat!
The Divine Right of Incompetents!
So he's not a member of Moddy's 'Rule of Law' Republican Party?!?
Lamborn Has Four-Leaf Clover-Like Qualities.
Now that you mention it . . .
. . . I do see there is some resemblance
We already knew CPols didn’t give a shit about CD-5. Thanks for confirming. I only wish Dems around the state would consider their put-upon brethren and be proactive rather than cynical and negative.
I know you're not a rational man, Zappy. But how does the strong coverage pols has given CD 5 prove it doesn 'tcare about the district?
Bonus points for answering without mentioning Chris Cillizza.
Maybe everyone, including the all-powerful Pols, is just waiting for the day when CD-5 gives a shit about itself?
(. . . But, then, I’m sometimes kinda’ negative and cynical when it comes to ridiculous and stupid. Good point!)
Zap, I've been here a while. Polsters have written many bytes about Lamebrain, CD-5 and EPC
But Zappy, what is Michael Bennet's role in all this?
Squirrel!
Of course, you're helping with Stephany Rose Spaulding's campaign, right?
She needs to pull in some evangelicals (she is one) and unaffiliateds who are sick of the Drumpfster Fire.
I'm hoping for a bitter Republican primary, exposing Lamborn's incapacity. If we could be so fortunate, it could be a primary to antagonize some and anger others, so that whoever is the "winner" will have all the popularity and appeal of Dan Maes.
Could we convince Tancredo or Caldera that they need to ride into EPC and create a campaign for an effective Constitutional conservative?
Dan Maes looks awfully good compared to some of these Drumpfenfuehrers.
As a proud liberal I say don’t look a gift horse in the mouth. If the good people of EPC want to emasculate themselves politically, who are we to stand in their way?
They're so used to corruption, hypocrisy, and batshit craziness, they don't know what normal would feel like. It's the land of Dr. Chaps and Dave Williams, Rev. "Meth and Man-ass" Haggard, Sheriff Maketa, Darrell Glenn and Mark Lowderman, DougCo School Board, the Planned Parenthood shooter, the NAACP torching…..you get the idea. they're freaking nuts in EPCO.
But maybe enough of them that are sick of being crazy can be encouraged to vote for somebody sane.
And don't forget Focus on the Family. Is James Dobson still around? I know he stepped down when the board wouldn't allow the anointing of his son as his successor.
Dobson is still around, writing a blog for FotF. I don't know about Dobbie, Jr. James Daly is the president of FotF now.
It's kind of shocking that they have the same arrogance as Chapstick. They declare that they are a church even though they have no worship services, and pretty much function as a propaganda and political organization.
Nevertheless, FotF declared to the IRS last year that the finances of FotF are "not open to scrutiny. " Breathtaking.
Dobson is still around
That's because only the good die young.
El paso county is also home to some of the finest legislators I ever knew, from bill comer to john morse with a lot in between.Colorado Springs had a mayor Makepeace a few years ago who had passion and vision.
Since you now live in the stomping grounds of
mad dog Marilyn Musgrave and Ken Buck it might be well to be a bit more humble and realize there are many fine, decent, people in each of Colorado's 64 counties.And, yep, a passel of 6,000 year old earth whack jobs and Great I Am wannabees and Douglas Jailbird Bruce acolytes, too.
For all his delerium, Zappy is not wrong to dream of a day when the good folks again rule his county. And even in a minority, those solid, decent folks in El Paso and Yuma and Mesa like Gertie and Duke and Mike give us vital votes statewide to elect great people like Hick and Bennet to statewide office.
Maybe they can carry Cary Kennedy or Jared Polis to th e next step as well. And in a couple of years join us in sending The Pussy Grabbing administration to the dark corners of hell where it belongs.
So, show a little respect to El Paso County and its fellows. They've earned it.
The problem, V, is that not one of the fine people you mentioned has lasted very long in EpCo. They've either been voted out at the next opportunity, like Makepeace, or driven out like Morse for daring to vote like Democrats. Come back and tell me what fine people they are when they stop electing whacknuts like Chappie and useless wet noodles like Lamebrain..
If you are going to concern yourself with length of tenure, then you probably shouldn't list Dr. Chaps — who served a single term in the House and got beat when he attempted a run for the Senate.
Politics makes strange bedfellows — and the Republicans in EPC prove the case in so many ways.
I'd add that sane people can get elected there, too, and John Suthers is a good example of that. How he is able to form coalitions and avoid antagonizing larger numbers of the coalition is worth study.
Suthers is that rare breed, a Republican who actually lives on our planet.
And hasn't Suthers been trashed by the RWNJs as being a tax-and-spend liberal? (At least by their standards.)
And let's not forget…..he mentored the Taller Coffman.
If you could ask him, I’m sure he’d be regretful and disappointed about that has turned out.
More an endangered species, one hunted to near extinction . . .
As much as I dislike Lamborn and his party, this decision was not surprising. The CO supreme court decision did not address the constitutional issue because the court lacked jurisdiction to address Lamborn's constitutional claim under the statutory section granting the court jurisdiction for the expedited appeal. The court so noted in footnote 1 of its opinion. So Lambert had 2 choices, sue in state court on constitutional grounds, or in federal court. He chose federal court, and based on a line of cases had solid grounds for his argument that the CO supreme court decision violated the First Amendment. The federal district court's preliminary injunction will be appealed on an expedited basis to the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals, but I highly doubt the Tenth Circuit will reverse, based on prior cases from that court in this area (see Chandler v. City of Arvada). All of this, of course, begs the question why Lamborn even had this struggle, but for now I expect he will be on the ballot, will win easily, and will continue to be one of the dumbest, weakest, most ineffective members of Congress
Spaceman I have faith that some day a new Republican will win the primary, go to Congress, and prove even dumber, weaker and more effective than Lamborn!
But thanks for a clear and concise legal wrapup.
