Cory Gardner needs to get with the program. All of the cool kids (the military, big business, agricultural businesses) are planning for climate change now.
But not his fellow GOTP pols so…..
As an attorney who has lived his entire adult life inside the government machine, he should know that words have meaning. Now I understand it makes all the angry old white guys want to run to the mens room and play with themselves each time they get to barf up the words 'radical environmentalist', but that word doesn't mean what he thinks it means. A radical is someone who is trying to change the fundamental nature of something; to be a radical environmentalist, clean energy folks would have to be working against nature. In reality, it's the junior senator and his oily gang that are the radical environmentalists. But then, he thinks the Laffer Curve and Trickle Down are real things. I said I'd judge him on his votes and not is rhetoric, thinking they wouldn't be consistent with one another now that he represents folks outside of the 51st state. Not surprised, but disappointed (naively so).
"The threat is real". He's not talking about climate change, he's talking about radical environmentalists…or as he might start referring to them as, 'constituents'…or people who understand that clean energy is the real job creator?
Kock addiction manifests itself in very odd (and predictable) ways.
Clean air, clean water, and a habitable plant — could anything possibly be any more threatening.
Great first month, Senator Slimey!!!
Only 71 to go! Makes me wish we had federal recalls.
In truth, this is EXACTLY what Gardner said on the campaign trail: climate change is happening, but we don't know if man is the cause.
No inconsistency. This is the same Gardner Colorado voted for, sorry if you don't like it Pols.
He won't win twice. His next election is six years away and in a presidential year. He may well only have two years to be part of a GOTP majority. So enjoy while you can.
Cory is probably counting on the Roberts Court to completely remove campaign contribution limits in the next few years, so he only needs one or two contributors, like the Koch Brothers.
He's counting the unlimited funds from those two to get him re-elected. Who needs to worry about constituents after that?
Gardner did not vote against just two amendments that would put the Senate into reality land. No, the man from Yuma voted against four amendments that merely recognized the fact of human influence on the climate, even one sponsored by his GOP colleague from North Dakota.
I think Gardner's actions this week not only show him to be insincere in his claim to be a "different" sort of Republican. They also show him to be very unlikely to be much of a leader.
Full rant here.
Anyone who is surprised by this has been in outer space. Corys' spots haven't and are not going to change. If you ever thought so, then you can answer yes on the questionnaire where it says , "have you ever been delusional?".
So Gardner being predictable means we should just sit back and just STFU? I say NO, call him out as the science-denier Koch sucker he is everytime he does their bidding at the expense of Colorado or the American public.
