Hey Pols! Colorado Peak Politics is trying to ask you a question. Why don't you respond? Why don't you ever respond over Twitter, or show your social media traffic?
@coloradopols Last we checked, 2011's Prop 103 came after 2008. Did the tax hikers not follow your sage advice on background checks? #coleg
@coloradopols Oh how quickly you forget about the ex-con Prop 103 signature gatherer fresh out of jail who was caught lying on tape #coleg
At least there's no question as to where you get your marching orders and talking points, now…..
I see Peak Politics is as bad at giving links to their bullshit as you are, Goop. Coincidence?
Challenge to AGOP: Cite an indpendent source to corroborate "WhoSaid" and Colorado Peak Politics regarding this allegation.
A Google search turns up no news sources reporting on this issue – only one partisan website. In other words – right now this looks like a complete fabrication.
I'm sure Guppy will have a devastating repsonse…just as soon as someone at Peak Politics tells him what it might be. In the meantime, he's busy fetching a stick.
No response from AGOP. Critical FAIL – though I didn't expect any different.
If this kind of article, devoid of any source or corroboration, is what the Colorado Republican Party has come to, then it's gone the full Old Yeller and it's time to find a newer, healthier party to replace it.
Don't blame me if the liberal media doesn't report the facts. Isn't that what Pols says about the Denver Post?
NOBODY else reported it, Arapa. No-one. Not even any of the Republican-leaning newspapers out there. No-one on the Internet, either – not Drudge, not InfoWars, not The Blaze, not RedState. And no opinion pieces? C'mon – the media might have a liberal bias in your opinion, but I'm sure even you find enjoyment in reading some opinion pieces contained inside – some opinion writer who speaks to you.
For that matter, it didn't even rate a note with some of the liberal right-wing media watchers – because outside of CO Peak Politics, this story DOESN'T EXIST.
Colorado Pols "reports" lots of things that nobody else picks up. Are those all non existent too?
Pols has been reporting that Kennedy Enterprises is taking over the recalls. I haven't seen that anywhere else. Does that mean it's a lie?
Yes. All non existent. Only you exist. Just a little diseased brain in a vat. What is tragic, is that this hell is what you have invented for yourself, coming here and being derided for your incessant pattering of stupidity.
That's ducking the question. Do you think Jesus is going to tell you "Well done, faithful servant" when you're up to shit like this?
I can at least find the recall story mentioned in a couple of stories on other sites, including one on Democratic Underground at the national level.
Here's what Kennedy Enterprises helped to accomplish in Wisconsin when Republicans tried to recall several Democratic State Senators:
(exerpts from Wisconsin Wave, but these are all findings of the official GAB review.)
Hey Arap,
Why don't your friends at CPP allow any comments? Is it because everybody knows facts have a liberal bias?
Aw look, the annoying little boy from down the block is trying to run with the big kids. That's adorable.
If convicted felons who have served their time cannot get jobs how can we expect them to become honest, taxpaying citizens?
While I don't want child molesters working at a daycare, I really think they ought to be able to bug me in front of King Soopers.
Have to agree.
If this is an important matter of public policy then there oughta be a law. If there isn't, and this isn't a parole violation, then let those who have paid their debt to society get whatever job they can find.
That's a very good point, although I wouldn't be crazy about hiring them to go door-to-doo.
or door-to-door, for that matter.
Gotta think this one over. Try as I may, I can't think of a reason why a person's criminal record should, in itself, prohibit him or her from earning money as a petition hawker. Yeah, a signer is putting his name and address out there, but that information is so easy to get anyway it's hardly a security issue in this day and age.
A background check should be required, though, to determine if the gatherer has fulfilled all obligations of parole and probation and if the gatherer is currently the subject of an arrest warrant. Other than that, why all the excitement? Felons have to re-enter society some way or other. This seems like a pretty low-security entry-level occupation.
Maybe in the morning I'll think differently.
My only comment on felony petition gatherers is that I would ideally like petition gatherers to be legal registered Colorado voters – I want them to have skin in the game. I don't believe that's a requirement at this time.
