Not every Republican supports restrictions on abortion and use of contraceptives.
Real conservatives will trust Colorado families and women to make the best choices possible when considering their personal family situations. Real conservatives do not support interference by big government, or by big religion, into peoples’ bedrooms.
Thank you for explaining a principled "real conservative" viewpoint.
As another conservative pointed out to me, if the amount of effort put into laws and courts had been spent on building relationships with young women and supporting them, there would be far fewer abortions.
^^this^^
I'm old enough to remember in 1981 when Reagan nominated Sandra Day O'Connor, and there was some question about her anti-abortion bona fides.
The Reverend Jerry Falwell, father of the Keeper of the Pool Boy, criticized O'Connor to which the late Barry Goldwater said that Falwell needed a swift kick in the ass.
And then the '90's, Barry came out in favor letting LGBTs serve openly in the military, penning an op ed entitled, "You Don't Need to Be Straight, to Shoot Straight."
Consistent conservative: out of my wallet and out of my bedroom.
It is impossible to succeed in a Republican primary without being vociferously anti-abortion. Close behind is trumpism, racism, anti-science, pro O&G. The litmus test is very strong.
On the other hand, what the heck is Conservative? If you take away the culture wars, and take away the Red Menace of Communism, I don't actually know what conservative means, unless it is a string of "antis":
Anti Social Security?
Anti OSHA?
Anti EPA?
Anti universal Health Insurance?
Anti Solar Energy?
Anti Hippie?
Just how did she fall for Cory's bullshit in the first place?
Right. What the heck is a journalist who doesn't actually do journalism.
I think she said she was a reporter at the time, not part of the editorial board that made that ghastly mistake in judgement.
I cancelled my subscription six years ago when this happened. We lost a titan of Western values to a con man. I’d like to say ‘better late than never’ but I won’t. Those of us who were once-Republicans can thank the acquiescence of these editorial board whataboutisms for the implosion of the party of Lincoln.
Michael: I have a digital subscription to the Post. I’ve kept it primarily for the sports section. But with the near demise of pro sports this year, I wonder. As an aside, since I didn’t grow up here, I don’t care about high school sports.
You’re making me think I should drop it next month; after the election; and look for something else, like the Colorado Sun.
NY Times is doubling the monthly digital rate for the newsletters I’ve been getting, so I’ve cancelled that effective at end of October.
I still take the digital and home subscriptions. Any paper that regularly features George Bauchler is suspect but if you get rid of the Post than what's left? I was a paper boy for the Rocky Mountain News and was loyal to it until it went out of business. I do hate the Post for not covering rugby in the sports section. It might not have the appeal of soccer but with it's continuous play and no commercials, it's a wonderful alternative to American football which is basically three hours of commercials with some sports in between.
Michael, I did too. It wasn’t just its editorial positions but it really started circling the drain after the Rocky Mountain News folded. Basically, we went from have two paper to none.
I cancelled back when Singleton over-rode the editorial staff and insisted that they endorse George Bush.
The paper always seemed to have editorial space for extremely conservative writers, but few voices from the left.
Cory Gardner is such a liar, _______________. (fill in the blank)
I’ll start:
Cory Gardner is such a liar, if he told me something I knew to be the truth…I would start to doubt it.
The piece was kind of garbled. The first paragraph was a headscratcher to me. She also didn't highlight what an absolute fraud his 116 word bill perporting to protect people with pre-existing conditions was. She did point out his numerous attempts to gut the ACA but it was the height of hypocrisy to claim he had submitted a new and improved healthcare bill that was nothing more than a fig leaf to cover his cowardice on the matter. I am so hoping Hickenlooper cleans his clock on election day. Make sure he is so discredited that the best he can do in the future is run for CD 4 against Ken Buck. What a putz.
Maybe Gardner will move to Aurora and split the vote with the newly Covid infected Mike Coffman.
I get home delivery of both the Denver Post Mortem and The NY Times. The DPM is almost exclusively running truncated versions of NY Times stories (plus a couple of AP stories). Just the other day I was pissed at how they removed a critical piece of a NY Times article for apparent “space reasons.” Force of habit is probably the only reason I still subscribe to the DPM.
