con man cory – bought and paid for by his koch masters :http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/08/26/koch-brothers-ernst-cotton-gardner_n_5718773.html#comments
The Koch boys (and their 'get government out of our life while they simultaneously raid our treasury') love 'em some Cory…
The latest Koch-funded ad shows a desolate rural Colorado with claims of people paying 30% of their income for health care and a 5,000:1 ratio of citizens to doctors. Let's do the math on Cory (and I'll be generous and assume his wife only makes 50% of what he makes – it is the way Republicans like it) That would be the equialent of $6,350/mo for his household. His own home county and mine, Yuma, boasts two nearly-new hospitals and a handful of doctors. His very own ratio is something in the neighborhood of 2,000:1. So while he's gutting (and boasting about his vote) the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program, and while he's doing all of the work his money masters demand in lands far, far away from Yuma County – he acts as though Yuma County and CD4 don't exist.
And now he wants to represent our entire state.
Let 'em eat cake..
Wow. That second vid is just Mitt Romney level assholeish behavior.
My thoughts exactly…
Smart money switching from Udall to Gardner
Per the Huff Post:
The most notable change came in Colorado, where Rep. Cory Gardner (R) has surpassed Sen. Mark Udall (D) in corporate and trade association PAC cash in recent months. After raising a little more than half of Udall's total from these PACs in 2013, Gardner has pulled in $553,863 in the first half of 2014 compared to Udall's $407,686.

Anti-American putz calls 'corporations' and DC Beltway lobbyists 'the smart' money, demonstrating–again–the Cons disdain for common folk at the behest of their 'corporations are people' friends.
This money follows who is seen as likely to get elected.
Dems got most of it in first 1/2 of year.
What? Are you pretending to offer "insight" or something as if your opinion means anyting?
"Smart money"? You really are a very special edition of 'Willfully Ignorant Fuckstick" this morning.
Fuckstick? What’s that? I was thinking more like cockknuckles or fuck giraffe. Anyways if he is happy about there being a 100k difference in 10% of the pot in a race he’s desperately underfunded in , what should we take that away?
I wouldn't confine this ignoramus to just one box, but to your question: WIF
A little nine year old girl trying to handle an Uzi. What could go wrong? Because her parents, the shooting range and the now dead instructor constituted a conspiracy of dunces, this little girl will probably never get over the horror that the adults in her life brought about with their complete lack of the tiniest shred of common sense. That something like this could happen with a small child and a submachine gun was completely, completely foreseeable. Wonder how proud of themselves they all were for being so hardcore on gun rights and how cute they all thought the little girl looked with that hardcore weapon in her little hands in the seconds just before this happened.
My dad thought it would be funny for me to shoot a shotgun when I was a skinny 12 year old girl. The recoil knocked me flying backwards. All my dad said was that I missed. Since he was drinking a lot in those days, I suspect he wasn't entirely sober at the time.
Wonder what her parents' excuse would be.
The establishment is called "Bullets and Burgers," it's a terrible thing, but its so absurd as well–seriously WTF?
BTW, we let our closely supervised then elementary school age son shoot his Dad's 22 and still have the picture of him wearing ear protectors and proudly holding the rifle in one hand and his target with a very nice pattern in the other so I'm not an anti-gun fanatic. All the guys in generations of my family like to do some target shooting and I've enjoyed it, too. My small town Idaho husband grew up bringing home small game to his poor widowed mother from a pretty young age. But never in a million years would we have dreamed of handing our young son (a stiff wind could have blown him away in those days) a loaded submachine gun. It doesn't take that much thinking through to see the obvious risks.
They're attempting to inculcate a new generation of Ammosexuals, even as kids in general increasingly abhor guns, violence, and their parents'/grandparents' sick, hate-filled, racist world.
In the meantime, there will be more such incidents, sadly; possibly many more…
Sorry I can only do link. If someone else can post this video please do. It's great.

thank you NRA, a 9 y/o girl, whose parents succumbed to your propaganda, sprayed with blood and brains
It's the Price of Freedom…
I saw a sticker on a car yesterday: "God and Guns: Since 1776." Even back then, I'm sure there was a Minuteman child who accidentally fired a lead ball from a flintlock musket into an unfortunate patriot's head.
If you listen closely at the end of the tape (at least in the version I reviewed), just before the deadly scene cuts away, it sounds like the poor little girl starting to scream…
Et Tu, Warren?
Seems like the Dems are going to need a new face to their rich people like paying more taxes line.
http://online.wsj.com/articles/warren-buffetts-tax-whopper-1409095917
Without commenting on this WSJ article I'll just say this. You do realize that whenever gloat over what you think is a Dems do it too item you are tacitly saying that, although you've always defended Rs for doing the same thing, it's wrong. Otherwise you wouldn't be gloating about a Dem doing it too. You'd be using it as an example of a sensible Dem other Dems should emulate. More proof that somewhere in that piss ant brain of yours even you know that your side's behavior is essentially greedy and shabby.
This. ^^^
Agree. Spot on BlueCat.
I'd be "all in" on legislation requiring all food service companies who want to play the inversion game to be subject to a living wage mandate for US workers.
It really is pretty rude to whine about paying taxes while employing a business model that requires other tax payers to keep your work force alive for you.
This is not any Dem that as figured out the system is broken, he is the one annointed by the annointed one.
Its all a big scandal. Or something.
You're embarrassing yourself. Again.
Did some elected somewhere propose the legislation that dwyer said would cause her to permanently abandon this site?…or is this just a temporary reprieve?
Guess we have enough doom and gloom from the trolls, so she doesn't see the necessity to spread more.
Hope dwyer is OK.
Me too.
Uh, boy. There has got to be a wierd parental backstory in this kid's screwed up choices (i.e. what's in a name?)
Forgot the link: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/right-turn/wp/2014/08/27/the-consequences-of-a-radical-mindset-on-jihadist-terror/
Somehow, I don't think the parents were free-thinking, liberal hippies, do you?
Just as likely as any other assumptions.
Your assuming that all assumptions are created equal pretty much proves what a chucklehead you are. QED.
ipso facto
first factual statement fro AC in a long time
This totally unsurpising story is from a paper in Vail:
Fired oil and gas reporter claims local newspaper chain buckled to industry pressure
Critics in Garfield County accuse politicians of colluding with energy industry officials

Great article. Colson will hopefully move on to a wider audience.
Had not seen this, thanks.
Here's the Republican's idea of a video game.
It's ticked over to thursday but here's a little something our trolls might find interesting:
I see piss ant doesn't want to discuss the whole putting Uzi's into tiny hands thing.
