The platform also calls for conveying large segments of the public land in the West to states and private interests, despite continuing polls and surveys that show even a large majority of Republicans support leaving things as they are.
For those who got the Denver Post yesterday (July 21), check out the advertising supplement for the Colorado Statesman. See the article entitled "Our public lands make America great," by Theodore Roosevelt IV, Trammell S. Crowe (founder of Dallas Earth Day), and Rob Sisson.
I can't post a link because it's behind a subscription pay wall ($69 for a 3 month digital subscription which I'm not willing to pay at this time). Their eloquence far surpasses any of the phony baloney about our public lands put out by the American Lands Council or Americans for Prosperity.
but a lot of her fellow Coloradan/Tea Partiers surely love it. They'll reject her opinion out of hand as proof that she isn't conservative enough.
Oh, and Democrats will track to the right to try to win the votes of those fucked up, crazy Sociopaths.
So Cynthia does not believe that children raised by gay couples are more likely to become drug addicts than those raised by straight couples?
such radical thinking….
Meantime Trump promises to be great for the LGBT community but picks as his VP arguably the most anti-LGBT pol in the nation and doesn't seem to know or care what's in the platform, doesn't seem to have attempted to influence it at all. Not only on this issue but pretty much throughout the platform there is this huge disconnect between what their candidate says and what the platform says. Pols aren't required to agree with every point in their party's platform but I've never seen anything like this.
Trump doesn't seem to see the party or the platform as having anything to do with him. It's his show and he thinks that when he gets to be president that will be his show too. He shows no understanding of the fact that there are three coequal branches he has to work with. It's all I'll do this and I'll do that, talking about things only congress can do and even then only if it passes muster with the courts.
The fact of the matter is the Republican party has chosen as their standard bearer someone who isn't any kind of Republican. He's essentially a third party (blue collar whites who are becoming a minority and are absolutely hysterical over it) con man candidate taking the GOP for a ride.
Some of our Colorado Republicans seem to be having a particularly hard time accepting that resistance is futile. But then we all know how fond they are of coups. Especially Cindy.
Feisty bunch, aren't they?
Emphasis on the con man. PT Barnum would be proud. There is a good Ph.D thesis topic waiting for some enterprising sociologist to create a Gullibility Index. It is definitely trending up in GOPland.
After hearing that speech, what I can't figure out is how Cindy manages to stand being married to Mike. He,or at leat his rhetoric, is about as anti-gay as they come. So, is he just toeing the Party's line or is he really as heartless and unfeeling about it as he seems?
Well they don't live in the same zip code or congressional district so….. probably not too much of a problem?
absence makes the heart grow fonder while familiarity breeds contempt
Or what my former Republican elected official neighbor says all the GOP insiders think about the Coffman marriage.
Will we ever hear the nod and wink explained? Not sure I want to. Usually, when those things are acknowledged there is a few days of being shocked and then someone from El Paso county puts an amendment on the ballot
Well, count me stunned. And, moderates don't exist in the "Republican Party" of today. The party will never come back. It needs to be replaced.
Republicans will figure out how to repeal and replace the GOP about the same time they come up with a real replacement plan for the ACA. But yes, I think it needs to be done.
Kudos to Cynthia Coffman for voicing her objections to the GOP platform, and admitting that it's often difficult to explain to friends why her party is in so many ways growing more and more out of touch. Why do think there is a growing number of unaffiliated voters? As for you, Blue Cat, yes, I get your comment with the wink – I hope you leave it alone unless you have some very personal experience to share with us. Good article!
