Murrow is long gone.
Not enough signatures to recall Polis? They just won’t turn them in, rather than admit to a failed effort. The rationale is that if a successful recall effort is organized , and someone has signed on an unsuccessful petition, both signatures are invalidated.
Yeah….right. This was always about fundraising and list-building.
If the signatures are turned in by the latest Dismiss Polis crowd, look for them around September 6th.
Would it be premature to quote PoddyMouth?
Quoth PoddyMouth wearing the dirty blue dress: "Fuck off sore losers".
Who wore it best?
Ewwww!!!!!
Make it go away!
Can’t you just picture Fluffy in granny’s basement wearing his finest blue-stained dress and thinking to himself, “we have those libtards right where we went them!!”
I'd rather not.
I'm with you there, Gertie.
All those “Bugoffya Sorelosers” signatures …thanks Poddy, for the inspiration!
Here's a little note concerning one of the private contractors that led Candi CdeBaca to inspire a vote to cancel their contract. Just so there is no misunderstanding about who we're dealing with:
I have to go with the Republican pundit on this one:
I dunno’ . . .
. . . Something about that just sounds so downright unAmerican??
Instead, we can deal with hassles with federal government employees.
Or . . .
. . . you could choose not to. Ta-dah!
That’s what allowing it to become an option kinda’ means, huh? If you want, you could still choose the same good ‘ol Murican “system” that’s the “greatest” (fraud? Pain in the ass? Waste of money? . . whatever?) in the entire world (except for most of the rest of the civilized world, that is — Denmark, included)
Of course, I could be wrong. I mean, look at the millions and millions of Americans over age 65 who can’t wait for the chance to finally quit Medicare, and go back to our world-beating system of private coverage???!
Medicare works for the geezertariat because we paid taxes into it for 40 years before we got a dime's worth of benefit, Dio.
The problem is how to make it work for people who haven't paid their dues.
Personally, I'd go full Medicare for all — with richies allowed to pay for private or supplemental policies if they want.
I'd pay for that with a stiff value added tax, like.most euros do.
The problem is that Congress won't pass such a tax. Too many people want something for nothing.
It's not hard to see what we need to do.
But getting that done is the hard part.
If you have any ideas, I'm all ears.
Go pester and poke at somebody else, Bob; I’ve no interest in playing with you when you’re off your meds and acting up here . . .
. . . I will point out that R&R and I weren’t bantering about Medicare buy-in funding (of course, it’s going to have to be paid for . . .). R&R wants people to believe that ridiculous meme that dealing with “the government” with Medicare coverage would be so, so much worse than dealing with today’s for-profit insurers.
Hope you feel better, soon.
I apologize for thinking that this one time you might actually have had a coherent thought.
I should have known better.
Not a total surprise given the size of the push: Hickenlooper will run for Senate, announcement today.
Whodda thunk it? (Walks to nearest brick wall, bangs head against it for 15 minutes. Inserts ear plugs and glumly awaits the strains of “Ride of the Valkyries.” La Pomposa will not be pleased!)
I think Duke has a bigger bug up his ass over Hick than Pomposa does.
Yeah. But Duke will limit his attack to 100 words or so, 48 of which will be "oily boyz."
La Pomposa will go on for days and days. It won't be pretty
You're right. He is a lying, opportunistic, Fossilonian. There are several qualified candidates who don't have the handicap of being faced with convincing front range residents they will do ANYTHING to protect them from petroleum poison. Frackenlooper deserves the appellation and has an uphill battle to convince anyone he will fight for their air over Anadarkos' profits.
If you (you, too V.) want to go ad hominem with me, I am happy to accomodate you. If you think insulting me advances your case, you aren't nearly as bright as I thought.
John Hickenlooper is not much different from Cory Gardner. I suspect that is the very reason you support him.
Duke, I am a great admirer of you as one who fights for overly liberal values in the Rocky soil of Mesa County. But with a nephew and brother in law who work hard and honorably in the energy industry, I don't share your demonization of moderates like Hick.
But you are true blue in the end, and that does it for me.
Pax Vobiscum
(and peace and love to the Gassy Girlz)
