Thurston dodges a bullet….
"Thurston" has record of real accomplishment in support of ordinary Americans, their health, their environment and their businesses whether you like it or not. He's not just superior to a ditz like Glenn. He's superior to all Republicans in or running for Congress and to a good many Dems to his right on many issues. There are plenty of them.
I will not be holding my nose while voting for him by any means. He has my vote with or without the likes of Glenn.
Guys guys guys. OBAMA FOUNDED ISIS. This is small potatoes.
(/Moddy)
I am unsure if the bigger story here is Mr. Glenn's repetition of a right-wing conspiracy theory assertion that is so devoid of supporting evidence that it vanished into thin air even among the right wing extremists; or
that Mr. Glenn's "news" is something from June.
He's been quiet. Very, very quiet. I've occasionally ducked in to see his web site. Last blog entry: July 8. Last News: July 20. Today, for the first time, there are Events beyond the two on August 12 that have been there for a month. And for the first time since I started looking, there are some August 9 images if you can find the link to " More Photos & Video of Darryl Available Here." [I can hardly wait for reactions to the pictures of Glenn, in his crisp white shirt with a shotgun over his shoulder.]
Let's see:
1. Mom jeans – check
2. White dress shirt – check
3. Staged portrait with shotgun – check
Some people might say that he is channeling Obama.
Exhibit A on why CO is turning blue.
I'm not sure why Glenn would be bothered even if what he said were true. After all, the people in that club were those kinds of people. The sort his party can't spend enough time trying to legislate out of existence. Speaking of "some people say", there are more than a few people on Glenn's side of the aisle who thought the club-goers had it coming to them.
"Glenn's side of the aisle…….." Are you referring to the meeting room where El Paso County Commissioners meet? "The sort his party can't spend enough time trying to legislate out of existence……." Again, a far ranging statement that tars everyone in "that party;" sort of like the righties blaming everything on "liberals;" but without validity either way. And you left out the radical, far right wing, preachers who rejoiced in the Orlando shooting.
I understand what you're trying to say, but perhaps more specificity and less blubbering would help. Ever visit the web site Right Wing Watch? That is a place where you can get the anti-gay specifics you may be looking for. CHB
A frequent reading of Right Wing Watch would confirm most of notaskinnycook's points without much in the way of qualifications.
Thanks, DY. I read Right-wing Watch. I also monitor the ACLU, several LGBT sites, Americans United for Separation of Church and State, the SPLC and others I can't call to mind at this hour. I concede that I used a broad brush, but CHB, you are the outlier in your party these days (fiscal conservative/social libertarian) and candidates campaign to the fringes. Trump knows far-right Republicans don't trust him as far as they can throw him, so he chose Pence as a big meaty bone to pacify that fringe. Pence is so committed to his "principles" that he was willing to set fire to his state's economy by signing the "turn away the gays" bill. Not all Republicans are wing-nuts, but what I call "old-fashioned Republicans", those who do what's good for business and stay out of people's bedrooms are an endangered species.
We're not as endangered a species as some who post here might think. As one example, “real” conservative Republicans have played a major role in recent years turning back the federal-land-land-grab bills at the Legislature. After what I hope to be a rout of Trump and his fellow travelers in three months, there may be more happening. As for Pence, I'm a native Hoosier (altho in Colorado for 30+ years) and I retain family and close friends "back home in Indiana." My impression of Pence and the state's economy is that he rode as long as he could on the “coattails” of the good economy created by Mitch Daniels, his predecessor.
Yes, CHB , you are. Don't forget how many anti-Trump Rs were pro-Cruz, how many disdain Trump because he's not conservative enough on all social issues.
The legislation that comes out of every R majority state legislature says your shrinking segment of the GOP is already extinct, not just endangered, if not in raw numbers in any ability to affect elections in such a way as to get meaningful change in the kind of of Rs who dominate every R majority legislative body and win Governor's seats, US Senate seats in red states and US House seats in red house districts and therefore all legislation in R controlled bodies and with R executives.
Put a fork in it done. Sorry.
I expected that you'd weigh in. Simply put, you're wrong and I have better contacts than someone as liberal as you. And I'm talking primarily Colorado; but also knowledge of happenings in other western states. With some exceptions, what happens back east is of little import to me. So, sorry back at ya.
