A good thoughtful quote above from Hill. Kind of the antithesis of Baumgardner.
Did @CapitalCowboy upstage @OwenJHill and thus this today?
I'm stunned to see Colorado Pols behaving so anti-nerd.
I'm still hoping that Amy Stephens will make a run. But now the folly of declaring Republicans to be without great candidates is proven. Pols grudging praise for Hill is proof. Republicans I know are ready to think outside the box without compromising sacred principle, and so is Owen Hill. He's a great young man with a bright future.
My circumlocutory-to-English translator:
"We still got nothing. Meanie Pols. Meh!"
(… also suitable for tweeting @agopbotsays …)
GOP has not had "sacred" principles since TR. And, all of TR's have been thrown out by GOP
Gray in Mountains says wrote: “GOP has not had "sacred" principles since TR. And, all of TR's have been thrown out by GOP.”
I’d go as a late as President Richard Nixon. Some of the most significant environmental legislation was passed under Nixon.
agree on the environmental actions by Nixon of course. But, his over riding principle had uch ore to do with his fear of ordinary people. And, Jews
Right. Which means Nixon was a pragmatist–even if based on wacked out paranoia and latent self-loathing. Today's Republican party has a word for pragmatists, or should I say SLUR…and its 'RINO.'
To the contemporary Teabagger politics is NOT the art of the possible.
Many of the Republicans in the past have had a good and a bad side.
(1) President Teddy Roosevelt was a definitely a conservationist, and by some accounts, the first to push for universal healthcare in the U.S. He was also a racist.
(2) President Eisenhower had the foresight not get involved in a land-war in Asia, though mission-creep would result in the use of “advisors” turning into the use of full-scale military forces a few years later (under a different administration).
(3) President H.W. Bush helped pass the Americans With Disabilities Act.
I'm far from being a Republican or a conservative but I will give credit where it's due.
What nonsense Groper. Republicans are incapable of thinking innovatively about sustainable economies or climate change or unwanted pregnancies. All they can do is repeat stale, obsolete positions that offer nothing of constructive significance. How shocking would it be for a Republican to come out and say that women have a right to their own destinies the same as a gun advocate has a right to their guns. Never going to happen in my lifetime so we all know that Republicans are totally incapable of thinking "outside" the box to create new and pragmatic solutions that benefit all Americans. What a liar you are.
As with most GOP candidates with military service, I will want to see what his service experience constitutes. As a GWOT-era veteran with apparently no overseas service I'm suspicious of his supposed patriotism and character. A servicemember who used numerous CONUS assignments to avoid duty in a combat theater is not a man who I want as a political leader.
Though his lack of character should sync nicely with the takers that constitute the political lackeys of the GOP.
Catchy Slogan:
Translation:
1. Make sure women don't control their own bodies
2. I wanna tell doctors how to treat their patients (mainly, not to treat them at all unless it's in a back alley with a coat hanger)
3. Let's make sure only the "right (wink, wink) people" have unfettered access to the voting booth
In other words, "Freedom for me, not for thee"
If Owen Hill offers the same old Republican tripe in a more eloquent package (i.e. "without sacrificing sacred principle"), then voters won't go for him. If he's willing to actually think outside the box, Republicans won't go for him.
Either way, Democrats are probably safe from Sen. Hill in 2014.
And if he has to match Republican credentials with his fellow Senator from Hot Sulphur Springs, Democrats might just see Owen Hill's future prospects dim while we're at it.
I don't think Owen needs to worry that much about Randy.
Hopefully the @CapitalCowboy (sic) will help Mr. Owen better articulate that he, too, is a lunatic fringer. I love GOP primaries. LIBER-TEA!
That's what they said about Dan Maes.
That's Governor Maes to you.
Undercover Governor Maes, even.
Hey- at least he didn't get elected, quit before the 1/2 way point and
thendecide to run for the US SenatefromAlaska.IMHO Owen has one thing to worry about Randy: that Randy will reach the passions of the party base. If Sen. Hill has to articulate party base things in party base language, he not only loses his 2014 Senate campaign but also dims his chances of winning statewide office in the future.
See: Former Senator Jean White.
Or, more metaphorically…
Never wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it.
Now, I am sure to sign up for the Republican primaries.
Remember, vote early and often so as to combat all the illegals votes.

sorry
