There is a long history of resistance to Eastern influence in Colorado. It's too late to whitewash Bloomberg's reputation, he is an effective boogeyman.
Did anyone see/read Michele Malkin's colunm this morning?
Talk about an Eastern idiot–it didn't even know what it was writing about.
Doesn't Michele Malkin live in Colorado Springs?
According to Wikipedia born in Philly, and eventually relocated to Colorado Springs.
Is there anyone (who isn't a right wing wacko) that doesn't make you righties wet yourselves in fear? I thought you guys were supposed to be the brave ones…….
Bloomberg's acting suspicous. Screw his constitutinal rights. Stop and frisk him!
Hehe…more Western values in action!
I bet you have no problem with NRA and Koch Brothers money right?
The NRA and the Kochs defend freedom, they don't take it away. Does the NRA support stop and frisk? Answer: no.
So , Moderatus, you the support the concept of out of state money to affect local elections. Of course you do. OK then. You aren't, therefore, claiming that Bloomberg and other out of state Dems are doing anything wrong by spending money on this recall. You just don't agree with them on what the outcome should be. Glad we got that cleared up. Hope no righties have hurt themselves clutching those pearls too tightly.
Ah, Freedom:
I dont get it. Does coal make you less free?
Just more dead
. . . or, in other words — "yes"!
petroleum coke. what the Koch's fight for, aka 'Freedom' in "n3b" land.
Not a fan of Bloomberg but this recall over gun safety legislation is of national interest and money is being pumped in from both sides.
Since the right always makes the most noise about money being freedom of speech, applauds the Supreme Court decision that corporations are people and have the same free speech, with money as speech, rights that humans do and is most opposed to government regulating campaign spending in any way, they should be fine with any and all out of state spending. I don't see them turning down any Koch or Rove or NRA PAC or other money on their pet issues. I don't see them trying to pass laws to keep out of state money out of Colorado politics.
It's not a matter of two wrongs making a right either, before some rightie jumps in with that accusation. It's the hypocrisy of the righties criticizing anyone for doing exactly what they insist on the right to do. If anyone has the right to bellyache about out of state money or any kind of spending in any elections, it's not righties. It would be those fighting for things like publicly funded elections and against corporations having the same rights as flesh and blood citizens.
Righties can't expect the rest of us to unilaterally surrender because we disapprove of the role of money, including out of state money, in politics. The role is undeniable and if that's the way it's going to be played that's the way we'll have to play it, too.The rules are the rules and we all have to play by them to win until we change them.
As for the demonizing, at least it makes more sense than the obsession with demonizing Nancy Pelosi, a decidedly non-demonic pol. From his self serving musical chairs party switching to his complete disdain for the concerns of black and brown constituents who aren't happy about being stopped for nothing on a regular basis (how would he like to be stopped constantly and frisked for no reason?) Bloomberg doesn't exactly come across as a great guy.
His money is still as good as the Kochs', though, isn't that so, righties?
That's 7,000 more people than those who signed the recall petition for John Morse. What the right wing extremists don't like admitting is that 6,000 signatures were thrown out for the John Morse recall petition.
That's funny coming from jennifer Kerns. She represents west coast special interests.
Nope. She represents the people who say you should have the guns you want as a law abiding citizen. It was Morse's own constituents who demanded this recall. Enough valid SD11 voters signed the petition and the recall is on. That's all that matters.
The NRA and the Koch brothers represent everything that is wrong with America.
Wow if you love Bloomberg so much, why don't you move to NYC??
Because then I'd miss the ribbon cutting by the founding fathers of Weldistan. All the action's here n3b !
Boy, now I'm really confused. One day it's Weldistan, the next it's Methopotamia. Can't you righties make up your minds and stick to a name?
I like Dumbfuckistan.
For delicate sensibilities perhaps that should be Dumbphuckistan.
Dumphuqistan. It sounds more exotic.
I thought about a q but felt it would need a u and that might be confusing. I do find your version the most asthetically appealing. I like losing the b. So to heck with the u. All hail Dumphuqistan. Looks great.
Too foreign-sounding. They'll end up accusing themselves of being Sekrit Muzlim Terrarists and spread paranoid fears of imposing the Magna Carta on the people.
Sounds fun.
Hadn't heard "Methopotamia" yet. I've been going with "Weldistan" but I think I may prefer the former.
I think it came from the fertile mind of Club Twitty.
Um – ick?
Sorry – lived in NY, and they definitely don't fall under the western version of "liberal" or "progressive" there, at least not in overall governance. I expect they'll make sporks restricted as deadly weapons sometime soon…
Most of the recent leaders in NY are authoritarian, be they mayors or governors, Republican, Independent or Democrat. The last two governors – Giuliani and Bloomberg – are also well right of the center of NY politicians and citizens in their economic views.
(Time for my semi-regular plug: see the Political Compass for a neat two-axis representation of left vs. right. You can see NY as an interesting stand-out in this 2008 Senate chart – yep, that's New York, way up toward Republicans on the authoritarian right while holding just right of most other Democratic states including Colorado on the economic chart.)
governorsmayorsNYC is too conservative for you? Why didn't you just say so! 🙂
Yes, in fact, it is. Of course, that means that Colorado is much more progressive… Don't you just
LOVE
living in liberal Colorado?
There's another one of those would be pithy sibstitutes for a relevant response that says loud and clear "I've got nothing". You sound very familiar n3b. Here's one … if you like NYC so much why don't you marry it. It was a favorite among the grade school set in my day. OK . I've got you out of my system. No more responses for you.
All the right wing blowhards on this issue remind me of Magpul. Remember when Magpul was going to move out of state immediately because of the gun laws. They're still here, so far just a lot of hot air.
They're going to secede, David – it'll all be okay for them.
Depends on which side of Erie they live on…
No fan of Bloomberg (see "stop and frisk), but the architecture of our increasingly plutocratic system is supported at every turn by the people pearl clutching about MAIG and Bloomberg.
