I see them as an issue driven group, of generally older folks, who counter to their own interests of enjoying Big Government handouts of Social Security and Medicaid have taken a step back and said Obamacare and the much of the Democrat agenda is corrupt and bankrupt.
I believe they are most interested in doing what is right for their country, America. Even if it is counter to what AARP would want to have them believe.
Since it can be reliably shown that whatever the L-tard “believes” is diametrically opposed to what is demonstrably true, you’ve got an answer you can take to the bank.
First logical post in weeks. Maybe this year.
.
but are easily co-opted.
There’s supposed to be something about them up at Colorado Statesman today; I’ll have to check it out and report back.
.
.
I didn’t realize it was subscription-based til just now.
.
I just happen to think Libertad’s analysis is (gasp!) correct.
I don’t think they load the new issues up until late Friday or Saturday though.
Barron, the story you mentioned looks like it’s on the Statesman site:
http://www.coloradostatesman.c…
Was Sarah Palin on someone’s ticket in 2008?
what was the specific reason they gave for refusing to invite the Constitution Party to participate? And who did you talk to–what was the name and title of who told you this?
Because if they are truly non-partisan which we already know they are not, any party would be more than welcome to attend.

Better check it out before they take it down.
That’s from the publisher of the one edition (premier edition) newspaper “The Constitutionalist” that’s distributed at Tea Party events in Teller, El Paso and Douglas County events.
.
I seem to recall ACP’s name on my voter registration card when I had to fill out a new one for change of address. In fact, there are more than 3 parties in Colorado unlike what Brian Scott in The Constitutionalists comments section suggested. There is the Green Party, the Libertarian Party and about a couple others that I can’t recall the names of–all official parties in the state of Colorado.
Thanks for that link, Barron.
.
but do they all have ballot access ?
and I thought you were against outing folks here. what’s up with that ?
.
I quoted a guy from the comments page from the link you posted. WTF are you talking about?
.
you’re the one.
I thought there was one long-time poster here who didn’t know my IRL name; turns out its you.
no biggie.
I had a problem with stalkers in the past over a grievance they have with me trying to stop a particularly odious practice in the current wars. Please don’t mention that practice by name or they are sure to ID me here.
But if they find me, I can come up with another name. Or use one of my dozens of sockpuppets as my primary ID.
.
as Triguardian?
.
I AM Triguardian.
.
n/t
Fewer now.
(But I’ll forget again by next week.)
.
maybe you are just another of my sockpuppets ?
.
is classified as a “reverse sock puppet.”
one login shared by multiple people- who all post as one username?
~ reverse sock puppetry?
Wow- I’m an idiot, This never occurred to me.
And honestly, I’m not sure what you are talking about so it shouldn’t be a problem for me not to mention, since I’m pretty much clueless. 🙂
.
I thought you knew, and were being cute.
Turns out you didn’t know, and can’t help but being cute, as that is your nature.
I would offer my forgiveness, but you’ve done nothing wrong.
.
Sometimes you are just downright charming, you know that? You really are a delight and I mean that sincerely. I get why Bluecat likes you so much.
If you are mentioned in passing, you have to just whistle by the graveyard.
That was pretty funny though, I have to admit.
they have ballot access.
To their District 54 candidate forum.
Just Larry, Moe, and Curly, the Republican candidates.
The Tea Parties, if they have any roots, can trace them directly to Dick Armey, Glenn Beck, and other GOP foot-soldiers who like to falsely proclaim their independence from the party.
It’s just the next round of ‘dupe the commoner’. The Republican brand of old is soiled, and only the “fresh, new” approach of the Tea Party will redeem it – and once it does, everyone can safely assume that the GOP is truly transformed and will never do those horrible, bad things ever again. It worked on the religious conservative crowd once before.
I thought we knew that last summer?
Hey factcheck zone dude- can you fact check this too?
in his other diary. 🙂
was something about staying on the porch because you need long legs to run with the big dogs in the tall grass.
That’s funnier than you mean it to be.
I’m watching the activity on the floor of the house right now, and I’m just glad I’m not in a position where a camera or microphone might have recorded my laughing fit.
Congratulations to Colorado’s Olympic athletes.
We’ll have more details as the story develops.

IIRC, Doug Lamborn only spent about $400,000 in 2008 to hold on to a safely Republican seat.
In this election cycle, starting in the Summer of 2009, some relatively big money has flowed into an assortment of front organizations in CD-05 that conceal their ties to the GOP:
9-12 Pikes Peak Patriots
912 Project, Castle Rock
Americans for Prosperity, Colorado
Colorado Springs Tea Party
Teller Tea Party
Tea Party Patriots, Colorado Springs
Tea Party Patriots, Castle Rock
Coalition for a Conservative Majority
Liberty on the Rocks
Limited Government Forum
Local Liberty Online
Pikes Peak Economics Club
Give Me Liberty
About half of these have paid staff. Plus there’s the newspaper, “The Constitutionalist Today.”
I estimate that someone – could be 527’s, the NRCC, the Club for Growth, FreedomWorks or elsewhere – has already spent more in the last 6 months than Lamborn did for his entire campaign.
What are they so afraid of, that they are spending all that money, and yet concealing their ties ?
Are they expecting a bunch of Libertarians to vote Democratic ? Is that realistic ?
