Both Sides Don't Do It
Happy Friday, everyone……..and Spring is damned close enough for me!
Excellent article, Zap…thanks
National R's are giong to finish out their 8-year plan on stalling every good deed and good policy proposed by Barack and the D's these last 2 terms.
If we can't hammer the holy shit out of them on many items, especially their resistance to infrastructure updates that are making sick and killing our neighbors, and finally implement some of this stuff, fully and robustly, then we are failures and fools.
FCK the Bipartisanship and FCK the PayGo's, Democrats, get your donkey on.
James Carville (pause….) said the other day the most effective GOTV tactic is a "reason". That is, give voters a reason to vote for you. I agree that the Dems have been pretty awful about giving voters a reason to vote for them, and why Udall and Romanoff lost the last election. (A Balanced Budget Amendment, Andrew? Really?)
IMHO, a powerful reason that Dems could offer would be to cut middle class taxes. Put $1,000 or more in middle class taxpayers pockets and they will go out and spend it, creating a multiplier effect that would stimulate the economy and create jobs, etc. If there's a net shortfall after accounting for the stimulative effect, then increase the taxes on the multi-millionaires and billionaires. Even Donald Trump (pause…) proposed this and got support from the GOP base.
Come on, Dems. Stop telling me to get a better education or training. That's elitist and insulting. Do something that will actually help my daily finances. Why should a family of four that makes just $60,000 a year have to pay $1,800 in federal income taxes?? Why?
Bet Trump's numbers will go up as a result of his no show circus. His opponents made sure the "debate" was all about Trump. Even if the ratings were much lower than they would have been with Trump, the discussion and analysis will be all over cable and talk radio for a couple of days. It too will all focus on the Trump factor, what was said about Trump, Trump's alternate event,Trump being the real winner of the "debate", yadyadayada. Trump, Trump, Trump.
He get's even more cumulative media attention (and that's saying something) than if he had never made such a fuss and just shown up. All without risking somebody actually landing a punch or two that could be endlessly looped in all the after debate coverage, not that anything like that has done him any harm so far. As he so presidentially brags, he could shoot someone in Time Square and his supporters woud still love him. Bada bing.
The whole thing demonstrated a complete failure on the part of any rival with a chance, especially Cruz, to take any advantage at all of the opportunity to appear presidential or make a headline on any subject other than Trump. It demonstrated Trump's continuing ability to get more free media attention than any other candidate has ever recieved.
Another great night for The Donald. Another bad cycle for all other Republican presidential hopefuls. Another instance of our codependent media who, along with the GOP, created this ratings boosting monster in the first place, aiding and abetting the man who makes us the world's biggest laughing stock.
Fearless leader. Making America great again …
Hooray for birds!!!

American voters should take hint from that eagle….
It's tough …
… being a freshman class president.

Whatever happened to that
Trump-tough-on-crime wing of Moderatus's Republican Party ???http://www.warren.senate.gov/files/documents/Rigged_Justice_2016.pdf
. . . And, why didn't this Senator run for president???
I'm gonna start me the most Coloradanist of the Coloradan groups yet!
Coloradans for Coloradans' Coloradans.
The real deal homie. None of them dressed up city slickers with their Made in China bolo ties and crisp western shirts!
IOW, not like these guys >> http://www.gjsentinel.com/news/articles/coalition-launches-opposition-8232to-universal-hea
I am somewhat surprised to see Bill Ritter involved in this.
I also noticed that either Charles Ashby or his editors chose to omit the name of the program…ColoradoCare..
Unintentional? Why, of course.
PROTIP: Just because the word "Coloradan' focused-grouped well… oh never mind.
Fuck yea!

About fricking time, and I wish Colorado Government Watch good luck in going after Klingenschmitt…Still, I wonder why that research looks so….familiar, yet doesn't seem to be credited to its source.![wink wink](https://cdn.ckeditor.com/4.5.5/full-all/plugins/smiley/images/wink_smile.png)
FYI, CGW is not a liberal organization…quite the opposite. I think that they may actually be trying to clean up the Springs' cesspool of corrupt officials, and to purify the El Paso County GOP.
Alas, alas, the seal has been broken and the foul, demonic spirits of the hectoring IRS and the satanic federal beasts have been unloosed as the final plague upon this one last righteous instrument, the lords own godly messenger …
… behold, even now the heavens have been set as a mark and a testament to this, the end of times.
