Hillary Clinton can say she actively supported Richard Nixon and Barry Goldwater as a child, and began voting by voting Republican, and it's no problem.
However, Cory Gardner can't even say he voted for Roy Romer. He seems to be wholly incapable of accepting his past, given the present spin that he's put on his own image.
Roy Romer was one aour 'top tier' Gov in terms of rural issues. His "Dome on the Range" was really effective, and his support for the now-defunct Tri-State Initiative (Bill Owens ended CO's support and participation) had the opportunity to re-define the border challenges/opportunities we had/have with Kansas and Nebraska. I contend that if we had kept that group alive we would have resolved the Kansas Compact (water) in a very different way.
I was a Republican at that time – and I voted for Romer.
"one of our"
""I realized the Democratic Party doesn’t represent me or my values or what I believe this country to be." That, or he realized it's kind of hard for Democrats to get elected in Yuma? – See more at: http://coloradopols.com/diary/64274/gardners-democratic-past-comes-back-to-bite-him#sthash.wv7A29F4.dpuf"
Actually he realized the true value of being on Wingnut Welfare and wanted to get on the bus early.
Same Cory. Different Story.
He's our 100% trustworthy and reliable candidate — he can be trusted to lie his ass off at every opportunity.
He must have stuck out as the only Dem in Yuma. Then again, we all have pasts. I was registered as a Republican briefly 30 some odd years ago when extremist was defined by Ronald Reagan and before the GOP went completely off the edge.
So either Pathological Liar Cory Gardner had a brain wipe after he switched his registration to the GOP, or more likely, he weighed the negative impact of admitting to agreeing with and supporting a single Democrat would have on his frothing-at-the-mouth rabid base voters.
Every vote counts, so he couldn't afford to have any of his nutters sitting the election out in protest to his apostasy.
But I know the Denver Post's faith in Cory's bipartisanship will finally kick in should he win the election, right?
It's interesting that he was a registered Dem during that particular period of time. Who were the two faces of the Democratic Party during those 8 years?
HINT: I wonder if Cory is Ready for Hillary……
I'm more interested in his answer, "Did you support/vote for Clinton?" Any chance there are contribution records on line going back that far?
If you're not a liberal at 20, you have no heart.
If you haven't turned conservative by 30, you have no brains.
I can't remember who said this, but it's absolutely true. Good for Cory for seeing the light!
Being starry eyed and idealistic are characteristics many people have or have had. Tempering those with common sense and pragmatism has nothing to do with being liberal or conservative, Democratic or Republican. Core American values are shared by Democrats and Republicans. When we respect each other and work together, we get things done. Your core American values need a little work.
You don't seem to respect anything except your "side" winning, even at the cost of hurting this country and the American people. Republicans with actual values are beginning to despair that the GOP will not come around for a couple of more election cycles. If your candidates win in any of these races, it really doesn't matter, people like you cannot win the in the longer term. We will.
Aside from how boorish that cliched sentiment has become, it is also completely beside the point. How do you explain what can only be a flat out lie about his past? Good for anyone who finally sees the light and aligns their actions with their values. But to claim that he was active enough in Democratic circles to have even attended a party assembly let alone been a nominator and then to claim that he didn't vote for a single member of that party is completely bizarre.
The older I get, the more liberal I become. I could no longer square my social justice/Christian theology with right wing policies.
Actually, Churchill said 40. I can't really remember, either, but he might also have said something about denying ever being a Democrat once one turns 30.
It strains credulity to think that someone active enough to attend a Congressional District Assembly not only didn't vote straight ticket in an election but didn't vote for a SINGLE member of the party. He is completely out of touch with his own brain. This is totally bizarre behavior.
He doesn't reside in the reality based community. Facts are such inconvenient things.
