CO Dems: Do not let the CD-5 Republican disaster pass unchallenged.
Oh, and SFL Bennet is an Eisenhower (R) in Centrist (D) clothing.
And Zappy repeats himself ad nauseum and never puts forth anything coherent on the policies he claims to support. And nobody understand him.
This isn’t a policy blog, it’s a politics blog. Just ask Jason.
The policies I support are similar to those espoused by Liz Warren, Bernie, FDR, et al: Unafraid Democrats who don’t feel the compulsion to be bipartisan with a bunch of lying Sociopaths.
FDR's policies are your policies? So, you are aligned with Southern racists to suppress black people as long as they support your economic policy? Good to know.
Of course, you Fucking Asshole. (That actually sounds like politics. Ask Pols if it’s good strategy.)
Ever heard of Unions, Social Security, WPA (infrastructure), the Four Freedoms?
Bennet pisses his pants thinking about having to support any one of those things.
Tee hee, caught you being ignorant again. FDR also named Republicans to his cabinet to build bipartisan support, the thing you hate the most.
Would you prefer 6 years of Bennet or 6 years of Glenn? Or in the previous election, 6 years of Buck?
I have yet to connect in my mind — who do you believe would be an electable alternative to Bennet? And do you have any reasoning to think why that candidate would actually win in purple Colorado, absent another round of Republicans finding poorly funded candidates?
So now you understand why Bennet is pretty representative of the the people that voted for him — and the general rightward shift in the political landscape overall in the last 60 years
He says that like there is something wrong with Eisenhower Republicans.
If only Republicans today could also be called Eisenhower Republicans, we'd be so much better off!
!
I miss the old-fashioned Republicans who did what was good for business and stayed out of people's bedrooms. Sure, they were greedy bastards, but they weren't telling ordinary people how to live.
Curse Nixon for his Southern Strategy that started us down this road where the Republicans teamed up with the Southern Baptist/Dixiecrats who just want to win at all costs so they can impose their (im)moralist/corporatist dogma on the rest of us.
Well,there was the bit about putting "In God We Trust" all over the money and "under God" in the pledge… OTOH, Eisenhower believed in the good of government and the potential ills of the military-industrial complex…
… and got us out of the Korean War, and had a generally non-interventionist foreign policy, and supported civil rights and desegregation, and public schools, and progressive taxes (particularly for the rich) that paid down the national(WWII) debt…
Hey Zap! You’re an Eisenhower Republican too!
He got us into Viet Nam
But kept us out of WWIII
And he was pro civil rights and not afraid to spend money on infrastructure. Hell, they even believed that ideally revenues and expenditures should match.
What does this mean?
Why do you think losing Lamborn would be any sort of Republican disaster?
I'm uncertain what "challenge" would be sufficient in your mind.
I think EPC could be transformed with the right candidate and resources and focus. Call me a dreamer…
In other words: quit writing it off.
So we fight heroically in El Paso County and claim a moral victory because we only lose by 15 points? Meanwhile, Tipton, Buck and Coffman’s replacement win in seats that we could have captured?
Great plan.
If you’re Republican!
Fascinating poll of non-voters today. Bottom line reasons — discouraged, disillusioned or apathetic.
Here’s what the poll found
Oh, yeah, and they think Trump stinks!
There should be many more polls of non-voters IMHO. I don't trust that there were enough respondents to get a "voted for Clinton v Trump" result; non-voters tend to be non-voters, after all.
Agreed — more polling would be helpful to understand what, if anything, would increase voter turnout. Although I strongly suspect that due to our celebrity-driven culture, it would take a charismatic, inspirational (Obama) or demagogic, FUD (pick most any current GOP officeholder) candidate to excite marginal voters.
Here is a Times article with new analysis of what really motivated a large number of Trump voters: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/24/us/politics/trump-economic-anxiety.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=first-column-region®ion=top-news&WT.nav=top-news
It’d be hard to top that Lamborn quote, but here’s another thought from the Retrograde universe:
We Don’t Need No Education
https://nyti.ms/2vHwiJg
OTOH, those kids not in school are less likely to be killed by a gun nut.
Please, let’s don’t give the Retrogrades and Nutters any more excuses or ammunition for their war against our public schools!?
Trump's vetting process for Cabinet appointments (how deeply and often the candidate's nose finds its way up his ass) appears to be backfiring once again:
How could you deal with Trump every day and not drink too much?
Drug abuse, alcohol abuse, and verbal (or worse) abuse. Just another sunny day in TrumpWorld
Drinking followed by abuse; yeah, I could see that under Trump. But over-prescribing meds is bad.
In his defense, do not most doctors over prescribe pain meds?
A whack job Zappy is.
Stinks Trump does.
Tired of the pair of them, Yoda is.
Purism leads to absolutism.
Absolutism leads to griping.
Griping leads to not voting.
Not voting leads to the dark side.
The dark side leads to Donald Trump being "President".

Democrat Amy Padden suspends her campaign to become Colorado’s attorney general, backs Phil Weiser
"I have never backed away from a fight," Ms. Padden said, slowly backing away.
Sir Robin bravely ran away.
She’s doing the right and smart thing at this point . . .
. . . I’ll say what should be said here . . .
Thankyou Amy, my best wishes on your future endeavors!

Is it my imagination or does Owen Hill look a lot like Ross Geller on "Friends?"
Not just your imagination.
