CD4 Candidate Debate on Thursday--Current Rep Need Not Attend

No need to be a fly on the wall

Why not just go grab a seat in the auditorium?

I'll be covering the debate for the Coloradoan. I'll also be live tweeting for those of you in to that. Just follow me @bobmoorenews.

Pretty standard fare for the Teabagger/912 groups

They don't invite Democrats.

They justify it by saying they are doing candidate forums looking for who to endorse in contested primaries, and that there will be others before the election.

Best to kill them early instead of letting them possibly need food stamps.

I gotta forward you their email.

For one thing, whoever writes up their stuff clearly does not have spell check (clarifying and unifying are spelled like this, guys.) And the whole newsletter starts off asking us to call Markey and tell her how to vote on the "constitutionally illegal" health care reform.

They also justify it by saying

they're conservative groups. Although I don't really see any third party candidates who someone might mistake for a Republican, but is actually still conservative.

Markey was invited

According to the Web site. Of course, why would she be expected to attend when they also use language like "Are you ready to vote Betsy Markey out."

someone needs a videocam

when the candidates start pandering to the tea partiers and saying crazy shit just to fire up the excitable morons.  Then see how that will play with the sane majority of CD-4.

Abolish the IRS and Dept of State !
Impeach the muslim !
Socialism !

Etc. etc.

I think it's going to be an all out competition

to see who can veer furthest to the right.

look to your left, now look to your right

one of us here tonight will lose all credibility with CD-4 voters because word will get out that we're completely batshit crazy and are fellow travelers with our completely batshit crazy sponsors tonight.  Now who will it be ?

Stay tuned...

I'm glad Bob's covering this.

A different level of accountability when a journalist is there taking notes.

With a fake fu man chu beard, a Gadsden flag
