( – promoted by Colorado Pols)
The political landscape looks a bit different on the eve of Election Day 2010 than it did two years ago here on Colorado Pols.
There’s been some turn-over among regular Polsters, Denver no longer has two dailies (and the one remaining is newspapera non grata), and Democrats were giddy at the prospects of sweeping the election the next day.
Even so, some things look nearly the same:
DavidThi808 was a front-page editor (and getting along with everyone), Libertad was out of the penalty box and sounding pretty much the same as he does these days, and Laughing Boy was on the lookout for Democratic screw-ups (and announcing he planned to run against Diana DeGette next time).
Outside Pols, Republicans were already salivating at the chance to impeach Barack Obama, Tom Tancredo was weighing a “quixotic” run for governor, and nutty ballot initiatives were headed for defeat.
Remember when it wasn’t “Change We Can Believe In, But …” and the Republicans were headed to minor-party status in Colorado (guess that one hasn’t changed much in two years)?

60, 61 amd 101 developed due to the overreach of habitual spending, tax crazed, big government Democrats. Now the Denver business community is forced to spend $6-10 million to lift the Dems out of the ditch; that money could have gone to investment and job creation.
Let’s face it, the Dems have owned that state house since 2004 when Guv Ownes began his long streak of veto’s aimed at maintaining balance for all Coloradans.
The long national nightmare at the federal level began in 2006 with effective control beginning 01-03-2007 with “Speaker” Pelosi. Was Bush to weak to deny Democrat spending, yes. Did the weakend GOP legislature seek to make nice with the Dems in control, yes. They’ve admitted their errors and moved on after a deep cleaning by the Tea Party.
You all know Tank’s a hero, along with Buck, Gardner, Suthers, Frazier, …. but tomorrow the race that will formulate a new communicator at the federal level, a partner for Mike Coffman and the rising of new leadership is no other then Alan West.
So, it’s not been two years from my vantage point it’s been much longer. Thank you to the Tea Party for the cleaning … its hurt the GOp, but didn’t kill it.
even remotely on topic?
But Libby didn’t learn anything in his timeout.
… he learned he’s Cool Hand Luke defying the man. I.e. he’s more intent on fucking with this site than befire
Tancredo could never be bothered to actually serve the country he professes to love so much. If I recall, I believe he was quicker to chop off is balls and throw them on the floor than to actually do his duty for a cause that he so fervently supported.
Tancredo’s cowardice is like getting caught f**king a goat. You may think you can move on from it, but you’ll always be remembered as a goat-f**ker.
I don’t think Alan West was thinking about politics half a decade ago. He was probably still reflecting on his forced retirement from his judgment call in Iraq that he did in order to (in his mind) save his men.
But, I don’t expect such a distinction to actually be recognizable to someone of your persuasion.
We tried to carry on without you, but we have no idea where you get most of your videos. 🙂
What I’m looking for tonight are the news reports on the Bobby Wallace perp named Torres-Ochoa.
He made bail then opted out of his criminal case by having the feds fly him back to Mexico.
Check out Fox31…just shocking
I am honestly surprised Libertad wasn’t permanently banned for creating a sockpuppet to get around Pols pretty clear and explicit rules.
Was Libertad treated with kid gloves to prevent criticism from the crazy right-wingers? How well did that work?
from The Beej and his ilk, and redefine DAY on COPols as “a period of time?” (as in, the six biblical “days” of creation.)
This way, it would be appropriate to keep L’tard in the Penalty Box for 4 billion years (or thereabouts, given that I’m not real clear on whether a biblical “period of time” is of fixed or indeterminate length).
I’m already annoyed at L’tard’s diary-jacking.
it has been a half decade in the making … and possibly much longer from others’ points of view.
“Oh, I’m sorry. I thought you were going to inform me of some serious threats to our liberties, but I see now that you are a painfully ignorant f*cktard.”
This thing is going to blow up big time.
OK, I’m baffled.
How does the L’tard define “discuss?” Can you use it in a sentence? Can you implement it two days in a row? In two consecutive posts?
Yeah, that’s what I thought.
