The Denver Post’s Lynn Bartels wrote yesterday:
“Almost everyone but Congressman Gardner agrees that the federal bill is similar to state ‘personhood’ measures that Coloradans overwhelmingly defeated and Gardner supported until just weeks after entering the Senate race in February.”
More proof came the night before, when Gardner’s told 7News’ Marc Stewart (at the 50-second mark here) that the federal personhood bill is an empty symbol, instead of the extreme anti-abortion bill that it is.
Stewart: But your name is still, though, on the personhood legislation, correct?
Gardner: Well, that’s just a statement that I support life.
Gardner’s apparent lie here completes a trifecta of false statements to Denver TV stations, including Fox 31, Channel 9, and now, Channel 7–in addition to all the other news outlets that have endured this falsehood and objected to it, rightfully, sometimes in about the strongest possible terms you could expect from journalists.

The job of the voters – up through election day – is to make a statement that they support ethics, and the truth, not a sociopathic liar.
So, a co-sponsorship of legislation amounts to something similar to a lapel pin or a bumper sticker? The 196 bills he's co-sponsored in this congress sure would tacky up the back of his car if he wanted to make his statement the usual way.
