How cute, Pols. At least these are jobs you are proud to kill.
It’s not like those jobs are disappearing. There are going to be 100 legislators in 2013, whoever fills the positions.
I’m sorry that ArapGOP’s talking points don’t allow REAL PEOPLE a choice.
Are you aware of the definition? Or do you think Dems and Rethugs are in the same party?
Just like Democrats: can’t agree on anything.
Also acceptable: Republicons and Repoglodytes.
It makes you want to scratch you eyes out to have to read such ignorant whining.
I guess if you were charitable it is killing jobs for Republicans to have to be in competitive districts.
the “job creators” are having some of their jobs “killed.” But it will all work out okay under the laws of the universe — because the job creators will always be creating jobs — this time for themselves.
He’s just disseminating the sour grapes, per orders.
GOP GOOD! DEMS BAD! FOUR LEGS GOOD, TWO LEGS
BADBETTER!As has been pointed out it can’t be job killing if the number of jobs stays the same and they all remain here in Colorado and Dems can’t “backstab” Republicons.
Apparently the Borg has lost all ability to produce talking points that even bear a resemblance to making some sort of twisted sense. What’s a poor Borgster shill to do?
From national to Colorado state level, dark times for the Borg spin machine? Is the public no longer buying Orwellian messages about saving medicare and social security by killing them or the unfairness of competitive districts that force consideration of all, not just one party’s, constituent input or protecting the democratic process by making it harder for citizens, and prohibitively costly for some, to vote?
Could it be that the public has had enough of being distracted by bright shiny objects such as fear and hatred of the “other” flavor (Muslims, gays, atheists, Anti-Christmas warriors America hating latte liberals, socialists, illegal alien presidents) of the month? Speaking of which, bet Lowe’s is going to suffer a lot more from the controversy it scared up caving to hate mongering bigots then it would have by ignoring them.
of course he’s going to support the GOP and not help Dems response. I believe I’ve heard that from the righties before. He won’t even notice that there is a contradiction between arguing that it’s unfair of me to accuse Gessler of doing a bad thing (running SOS office as partisan arm of Colorado GOP) and that he doesn’t do it and, at the same time, that it isn’t a bad thing and of course he and everybody else does it, even as SOS.
But wait…I suppose the two talking points could both be good arguments simultaneously if you assume the loophole of alternate universes coexisting. In which case, who could argue? This must be why we so often get mutually exclusive talking points from the Borg. I probably should have been more specific: This universe only.
If the office holder is a member of the United States of Republicans then he/she gets to enact policy by imperial decree and everyone needs to bow down to him/her.
If the officer hold is not a member of the United States of Republicans then he is a lazy communist who must be stopped at all costs and all his/her policies are illegal and must not be implemented ever.
Got that? This is the Republican understanding of a vibrant Democracy where there is only one real political party. All that stuff about being partners in our mutual future is too old school for this crop of radicals.
Is the normal one year residency requirement shortened due to the lateness of the final boundaries being approved? Is there still time for people to move and run in a different district or is it still the one year before the election?
(Emphasis mine.)
I don’t see an “except” in there. And being in the Constitution, it can’t be changed by rule or statute (sorry, Mr. Gessler).
if it looks like it gives his party an advantagfe. What’s a pesky rule if it interferes with the Manifest Destiny of the United States of Republicans?
why have we been speculating at all since early November about candidates who didn’t yet live in the districts they were supposedly thinking of running in? Anybody know if there are exceptions such as in the case of redistricting becoming official less than a year in advance of elections?
Federal Representatives have no such requirements and can carpet-bag if they wish.
State-level types must meet the above requirements.
And there’s an annotation of some case law:
Anderson v. Gonzales, 155 Colo. 381, 395 P.2d 9 (1964).
It’s here, if you want to spend $5 to read it:

I guess “Election” means “Election”, but it would seem reasonable to interpret that as the day they are sworn into office, to actually serve, as opposed to the day that a vote merely took place.
I’m sure there is precident or case law that has settled that question one way or the other.
But it’s specific to vacancy elections.
