Late yesterday, Mike Coffman voted for yet another Republican budget that hits Aurora’s working families very hard. Coffman voted on a budget plan that would slash assistance for low-income workers and even cuts veterans’ benefits.
F’ it – I can’t say it nicely, because there’s nothing nice left to say about it.
Mike Coffman, Scott Tipton, Cory Gardner, and Doug Lamborn are all on record – not once but multiple times – as being in favor of helping the wealthy while selling out the lower and middle classes. And Joe Coors and whoever winds up winning the GOP nomination in CO-02 won’t be any better.
If you haven’t figured it out by now: if you’re not making $150,000 and up, you are going to be screwing yourself over by electing Republicans to office. And if you do make $150k and up, you’re screwing over our economy and our Federal budget, because the Republican plan doesn’t solve our budget issues, and it does further cripple consumer cash flow.
Rationality from our Republican elected representatives has gone out the window. The Republican budget (and, really, most of their policies and actions lately) has as much connection to reality as a plaid unicorn.
First, this is a very well put together thread.
Sometimes in our discourse, the republican budget just gets kind of shrugged off as lunacy that’ll never pass the Senate,
But, what if it did?
This election will decide exactly that.
Second, we know there are dynamics out there we have to deal with and we can’t control.
The republicans WILL outspend the Democrats this election. They have a smaller constituency, but a few powerhouse donors making a business investment on the GOP that will reap a windfall second to none in history. The Ryan Budget will become law if the republicans win the Presidency, take the Senate, and keep the House.
This is terrifying, and Phoenix Rising posted what should be the MAIN Democratic bullet point going forward.
Billboards, 30 second spots, mailers, the whole nine yards.
Simply put, THIS is the glue that connects 99% of the people in this country.
Any version of “If you vote republican you’re voting against your family, your kids, your economical future” is a thunder clap message, it will resonate like no other.
And yes, Pam, Coffman shows he doesn’t give a damn about Veterans, or anyone else for that matter.
When a few of us were blogging pro-Bennet and anti-Buck, calling Buck out on his anti-woman policies and hate-speech, Republicans and Democrats alike (some here) were telling us, “Don’t worry, Roe V. Wade is solid history and that entire conversation is not going to be happening again” or “You’re just trying to create a story out of one that doesn’t exist” or “Republicans may talk like they hate women, but they really don’t”.
Three years later, this country has seen 1100+ legislative provisions coast to coast attempting to decrease a woman’s rights to her own body, equal pay for equal work, parenting rights, etc. Imagine if we hadn’t fought hard, and imagine if we had lost the Senate, too.
I applaud you for calling out Mike Coffman on his record, Fair Share. He may be marketing himself as a moderate, but those of us who have followed his voting record know the truth. He’s just as extreme as the rest of his Tea Party allies.
I hope we see more of your postings. Great diary.
