Recalled Jeffco School Board member Julie Williams lashed out at Jeffco voters and others last month, writing on Facebook:
Williams: “Liars and Cheats and the majority of the people believed the rhetoric.”
Williams’ sour-grapes comment came after state data was released on the amount of money spent by state groups to recall Williams and other conservative school board members from office, prompting Williams to write, “Infuriating that being exposed does not mean anything.”
The data did not include figures for how much was spent by organizations that are exempt from disclosure and campaigned indirectly to try to keep Williams in office, despite her repeated gaffes and substantive flaws that even infuriated fellow conservatives.
Correction: This post initially stated that Americans for Prosperity did not disclose campaign spending. Some spending was disclosed.

Kind of like the pot calling the kettle black. FYI to the recalled Board Members. I'm an unaffiliated voter in a wealthy precinct, with two kids who graduated from regular Jeffco schools. Frankly, I was the swing voter here. I knew what I wanted to do, but received only two, count them two, pieces of mail prior to the election. The first one was from the pro-recall campaign which didn't even tell me who to vote for. Finally the second came the day I got my ballot and told me who to vote for to support the recall. Me and two-thirds of the voters agreed to the recall. Sorry, for your sour grapes attitude, but you lost. As you and your compatriots know, elections have consequences. Lies??? Well, you're just mad because the Democrats learned how to tell "Republican Lies." These are things that actually true but are intended to deceive voters. Like, Obama painted Air Force One with his campaign logo. Technically true, because Obama flew on his campaign plane, paid for by his campaign, but intended to deceive voters, especially your voters who only have one source of news. Obama never painted the 747 which everyone thinks of as Air Force One. What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. By the way, don't try this kind of take over again. People are on to you and the younger families in Jeffco who drove the recall are on to you. Go back to woods you came from, home school your kids, and leave the rest of us alone.
Don't whine, Julie, Senator Neville will need a press secretary — you'll be perfect!!! …
… make some lemonade, sweetie!!
Hi Jason,
For completeness, here is the Colorado Independent's coverage of the anti-recall spending (as much as could be accounted for):

Thanks, Davie. That's good info.
I'll correct my post.

Call the Waah-mbulance!
Poor, poor Julie. She just doesn’t get it. As a conservative, I'm reminded of why I voted to recall her, due to her general ineptitude, but not the other two. I could have lived with Newkirk and Witt had they been retained. I'm not sure Julie could spell 'cat' if one gave her the c and the a.
