Catchy slogan but does it fit on a bumper sticker?
Don was great on all of our hemp bills (he’s standing in a hemp field in this picture!)
I recall he was famous for f—ing over the gay lesbian and (to some extent) bisexual communities with his vote to kill civil unions legislation ten years ago, but that is now water under bridge since we’ve got bigger bigots to take down.
I recall seeing him down at the state house some years ago wearing an IUD pin. I think he may have supported a pro-contraception bill.
Senator Coram will definitely have my attention and also money.
And I watched him get an Ally award at Colorado West Pride a couple of years ago. He does have a Gay son.
I remember seeing his gay son interviewed when dad voted to kill civil unions legislation. Not unlike the reaction from Mary Cheney when Liz Cheney denounced same sex marriage.
Like Liz, Don has evolved. IIRC he cosponsored some LGBT-friendly legislation a couple of years ago.
Here's my worry about Coram… He hasn't cleaned up these mines… This story is from 2019 https://www.hcn.org/issues/51.20/mining-while-zombie-mines-idle-cleanup-and-workers-suffer-in-limbo
That’s not my takeaway from the article. And I’m more concerned with the related article, about Senators Manchin and Cortez-Masto blocking any reform of the long outdated 1872 General Mining Act.
Coram is heads and shoulders above what we have now or have had in a couple of decades. Run, Don, Run!
An avocado pit is heads and shoulders above what the folks in CD 3 have currently.
I almost never give money to R's, but I would send him some. My friends on the Western Slope deserve better than what they've got and (speaking as a kayaker) they need effective representation to keep water in their rivers.
I'll probably regret saying this, but IMHO Coram would be a nice step up from Tipton, let alone she who should not be named.
Coram is a bit more mushmouthed than Zimmerman on the Big Lie; according to the Newsline:
Zimmerman’s support of truth is stronger, per the Colorado Times Recorder:
Coram may be a more credible challenger to Boebert, by virtue of his gender. and name recognition from previous elected service. However, I like Zimmermans bluntness, ( “truth matters” vs. Let’s move on,”), and like Ckonola, I’m concerned by Coram’s part ownership in some of these zombie uranium mines. They need to be cleaned up and/or properly closed down. Obviously, either candidate, or any Democrat, would better represent CD3.
It's people like Coram that make the more extremist Republicans whine and pine for closed primaries and caucuses/conventions. If Coram can recruit enough Unaffiliateds (or Democrats registering as such because redistricting says they're better off voting in R primaries), he's got a shot. Certainly Blowbutt is a painful sort of representation.
this guy is a republican…period…being from Montrose is not a redeeming factor…republicans have proven to be the real enemy of our nation…
I agree.
It is time we start calling them what they are. Insurrectionists and their sympathizers.
The Republican party has abandoned democracy.
Then you guys can have Lauren Boebert in "all her glory."
Hey. Get over yourself with that tired bullshit. We didn't put her there. Republicans did. Try to spin it anyway your confused mind can spin it.
She is your problem.
boebert is the Nation's problem…as well…she is doing what the insurrection instructs her to do…she is not smart in any sense of the word…she is being used by extremists and she doesn't understand that…or if she does, then she should pay the price…anyway…being a moron is not a legal defense tho…
In terms of being the nations' problem, Glockbert is emblematic of the rot within the Republican party. She is not doing anything impactful to legislate damage to the American people, just exposing daily her chronic case of verbal dysentery.
Yes, she is most dangerous to the R party itself. And a symbol of anarchy, truly.
Much of my response was aimed at the too oft repeated accusation that criticism of one Boeberts' opponents (the one he likes) is tantamount to support for Boebert. It is a worn out line, dripping with asininity.
Oh come on now, . . .
. . . you and I and probably everyone else here all know how hard CHB does work . . .
. . . to constantly try to point out here that it wasn’t really Republicans ( . . . or real Republicans, or whatever other exoneration he uses . . .) that gave us all of today’s Boeberts and who put them in office!!!?
. . . QED, it must be somebody else what done it, and ergo who should change or fix it.
(. . . Jill Stein voters, or Ilhan Omar supporters, or people who want to provide community college tuitions . . . they’re the ones who’re responsible for putting all the Boeberts in office.)
Really Republicans ( . . . or real Republicans, or whatever other exonerations . . . ) are completely blameless. You should be thanking him, and also really Republicans. How many times you gotta’ be told??!!??
My bad, Dio.
How many "Hail Donald"s do I have to do to be granted forgiveness??
Oh, you’ve already gotten off with all that easy stuff — Now, assume the position, and prepare yourself for “the fifty”!:
[whack]
“Thank you, Richard Nixon, may I have another?! . . .
[whack]
“Thank you, Newt Gingrich, may I have another?! . . .
[whack]
“Thank you, Dick Cheney, may I have another?! . . .
[whack]
“Thank you, Koch Brothers, may I have another?! . . .
[whack]
“Thank you, Oliver North, may I have another?! . . .
. . .
[whack]
. . .
. . .
Dammnit, Dio, the Harriet Marwood, Governess blog is on reddit. And you're the wrong gender to swing the whip.
I wonder if there’s anyone here who is any less surprised than I am to learn that you’re familiar with that site??? . . .
I also don't see any surprise that you understood the reference.
Are you sure that “reference” isn’t a bit of falsely modest understatement . . .
. . . that seems way closer to a how-to manual, with step-by-step directions?
Maybe you (and Sun) need to get over your own self. Your District elected Boebert. I live in the 7th District. Which makes her YOUR problem since you live in the 3rd.
Tipton was far better than Boebert as the 3rd District congressional. Coram will be better yet if he’s elected.
Your Dem candidate the last two elections is an extremely nice person. I know because I’ve met her. But, your Dem candidate campaign team left much to be desired.
I would like to hear anything she has done as a representative of CD3 that directly affects my life, in any way.
Her carnival sideshow, to me and American politics, is a distraction..nothing more.
But to the Republican party…she is one of their leading gravediggers. Unless your party decides to stop her, she will not be stopped. She is in a +9R district.
She will continue to drag the Party of Lincoln into the gutter and through the slime. My question is…What will you do to stop her? Give money to Don Coram and scold anyone who disses him as being a Glockbert supporter?
My ….what an effective strategy.
Now, now. She is providing meaningful employment for one of Fluffy’s family members all while trying to gut his employer. Thankfully that bootstrapper has a union protecting him.
Think of it as a zero-sum. Or the Hunger Games.
“Give money to Don Coram and scold anyone who disses him as being a Glockbert supporter?”
Considering CHB does not live in the district and cannot vote against Boebert, he’s doing the next best thing by giving $$$ to Coram.
What exactly do you expect him to do to get rid of your representative?
By the way, is Diane Mitsch Bush going to run again?
God…I hope not. Diane is very nice. I played a couple of fundraisers for her.
She will do no better a third time. As CHB has said, Democrats still allow their campaigns to be run by people from out of town.They have the money. One of the first political axioms I learned was, ” A dollars worth is support buys a dollars worth of control.”
CD3 is simply not going to elect a professor from Steamboat.
@Duke Cox and CHB. And it would have had a closer if she had campaigned a bit more.
I think you are right. It was not a good campaign.
COVID helped Boebert. It was the height of the pandemic with no vaccines in sight. Boebert, being a “Covid hoaxer”, continued to hold large, unmasked in-person events; Mitsch Bush did not.
Certainly a valid point…
COVID did help her but she was going to win anyway. Duke was right …. CD 3 was not going to elect a professor from Steamboat.
But look at what happened nationwide. Dems lost House seats across the country in competitive districts.
And but for the assist by Donald Trump and Lin Wood telling folks in Georgia that the election was rigged, GOP turnout for the January runoff would not have dropped and Mitch McConnell would still be majority leader.
Let’s face it, people didn’t vote Democratic so much as vote to get rid of Trump.
You are correct there, I trow.
I have not made nor argued that point to my recollection.
I read that Chris Wallace is leaving Fox News for CNN. He knows what I am talking about.
Bobo beat D M B by about the same margin she trounced Tipton – 51 % to 45%. For future elections, CD3 kept its four “pivot counties” that voted for both Obama and Trump in different years.
Boebert is so identified with Trump and Trumpism that , IMHO, she won’t be able to clear a majority of CD3 voters who despise him. Her Magic Glock won’t help. She might win a plurality in the primary, but is vulnerable in the general election.
Well, hope springs eternal.
Maybe next time Bobo loses. Or in 2024. Or 2026.
Remember, even Marilyn Musgrave eventually managed to lose.
…and has yet to concede.
He’ll get absolutely destroyed in a primary: The thing is, people don’t really want to believe it, but Boebert is not an accident: She is exactly what Republican voters WANT.
