Hick's putting his plummeting approval ratings to good use! What's the opposite of a rising tide lifting all boats? Oh yeah.
Did you have anything substantive to say, or is this the usual drive-by?
My substance is proportional to what I'm given to work with. In this case, not much.
Plummeting.
It was always a real marval that he was able to keep them so high. Now he gets to fight a little bit. But they're plummeting so much that he has a whole year and a half to try and win back a measly 5% of the electorate (and it's a portion he lost because of Dunlap, not guns) – and still beating all announced and unannounced potential opponents.
Plummeting. Plummeting all the way back to re-election. You can't beat somthing with nothing and nothing is what you got.
It's obvious you are a right wing troll. Why do you come on here? Coloradopeakpolitics is the place that you right wing cretins like to troll.
Nice words, but how much money is being put into get out the vote?
And yet, he'll win re-election. Easily. And the gun control legislation is one reason why.
A quick scan of the internet (You don't need link, just google it for lots of sources) shows that Morse and Giron are raisng and spending a lot more money than their opponents. So if the money talks rule holds, maybe the recall won't succeed after all. And I don't want to hear complaints from the usual troll suspects about outside money. Progressives don't make the rules but we have to play by them. Until the laws change, If we didn't play as hard as the law allows we'd be morons.
My opinion is the recalls have already succeeded. Colorado with basically the only state to foolishly crack down on guns after Newtown. After what Morse and Giron are going through, even if they survive it will make others think twice about doing what they did. Second Amendment supporters are flexing our muscles, and you bet the political class is paying attention.
Hmmm….
When people say that they win even if they lose, it means they're losing.
I'll see you the day after the elections then!
Romney in a Landslide!
And what? Shoot me?
FYI: there are six other states that passed stricter gun laws after the Sandy Hook shooting: California, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, Connecticut, New York and Colorado I believe have all passed provisions tightening up various gun purchase and possession laws.
There's those pesky facts getting in the way!
Wrong. if Giron and Morse win, it shows the NRA can be defeated.
That is what you republicans said about Romney. You said Romney was going to beat Obama and we know how that turned out. Giron's district is heavily democratic and now Morse's district leans democratic. What needs to be done is we need to look at abuse of the recall process. How some radical right wing gun nuts can recall a senator and cost the taxpayers many thousands of dollars because they threw a fit over legislation thet did not like is not right.
The only state? You don't get out much, do you?
Hey I said I didn't want to hear from the usual troll suspects, didn't I?
Not trolling from the other side, but when you say
…we don't know that. We know Morse and Giron's own committees are raising and spending more than the two recall committees. And we know the spending of some outside committees. But "opponents" include a lot of dark money, and we don't know–and will never really know–accurate figures for all the dark money (on both sides). So maybe they are spending more than their "opponents," maybe not.
I'm sure there's plenty of dark money on the Morse/Giron side too. I certainly hope so.
Yes, there is dark money on both sides–I said that. The media reports are reporting more money on the Morse and Giron side. My point is that we–and the media–don't know that as fact. They are at least implying–and in some cases clearly stating–somthing they just don't know as true.
Ugh, I hate it when I have to agree with another thing Hick does. This and the smoke-filled-rooms in the last month. I just hate it when he does something right. I'm still not voting for him, but keep this kind of behavior up and I might think about not voting at all.
I don't care about the political implications Craig. I just want him to do what's right for the citizens of Colorado and the fighting against the threat of a recall election every time a legislator votes against the wishes of a small group of extremists is the right thing to do.
interesting: moderatus means warlord or controller in some lexicons.
