She’s a pretty impressive organizer on the dingbat tea-party side. (I give credit where credit is due, folks.) Her husband is Jeff, Mayor of Castle Pines. They fill tea-party gatherings with a wave of their “Christine O’Donnell is not a witch” wands.
Jeff and Crista are no longer married…
Crista backed Tancredo in the Governor’s race and Wiens in the Senate AND Chairman’s race (while that existed)…
Crista has lost so much credibility within the party because of her actions, she wasn’t even elected a Bonus Member on this very same night. In fact – she garnered a SIGNIFICANTLY LOW amount of votes from fellow activists.
Crista is no longer a name you need to watch.
FRANK MCNULTY IS VERY VERY SAFE.
and stating her dream Pres/VP ticket: “Tom Tancredo and Jesus Christ,” in that order … just further shows their hypocrisy.
Crista wants to throw out RINO McNulty but she’s all gushy about the Tanc and she even forgives him tossing her Grand Old Party under the bus. Tanc spanked ye old GOP by partnering up with the ACP when it suited his needs but I guess that’s what made sense and it sure taught fellow CO repubs a lesson.
Crista just another RW Jeezus spouting loony hoping 2 B raptured up but in the mean time she’s gonna make sure everyone else that doesn’t look/sound/think/or pray like her doesn’t get to play in politics.
Guess we gotta forgive these fools ’cause there’s knowing that someone needs to be at the bottom of the bell curve of logic.
Tank NEVER would have picked a running mate named Jesus.
for some of the splendid carpentry work he did on his home movie theater (er, . . . that is, . . . before he sent him packing back to Juarez).
The Colorado Republican Party and much of the party nationally has entered a black hole where eventually they will eat all their young and anyone else left. Absolute ideology begets an organization that continues to decline in membership. The absolute intolerance of any other position, by any member of the party, regardles of his or her position or perhaps knowledge of the facts is not tolerated. Republicans like this allow ideology to trump facts and even worse to deny facts even exist.
FASTER is a perfect example. Much of that money was earmarked to repair or replace hundreds of bridges in Colorado. In fact, either late last year or early this year $300 million of FASTER funds was pledged to pay back bonds utilized to raise money for the replacement bridges and to repair others. But to the fanatics none of this matters. Repeal is an ideological necessity and the fact the money has been pledged to pay back bonds or the most important fact, our hgihway bridges are falling apart, is simply ignored and worse yet denied.
The Republican Party has moved from illusion to delusion. All of us have our political or policy illusions from time to time where, based on a partially false notion, we believe something about politics or policy but, in the end, we revise that notion based on reality. In Republican politics today, illusion has moved into the realm of delusion where self-deception, phantasm and contrivances are substituted for reality. The practice of politics and the making of policy based on such things leads to disasters for the state and our nation.
Edmund Burke, probably the greatest conservative of all time, said
Under present circumstances and the ongoing delusionary nature of the Republican Party, it is impossible for Republican politicians to govern effectively when ideology is more important than reality. Mr. Burke’s call for responsible government is a standard today’s Republican Party is incapable of attaining. Today’s crop of Republican Party activists and politicians, for the most part, have, except in name only, thrown away the true conservative tradition and substituted a mindless and dangerous ideology in its place.
It is precisely this sentiment which may drive Richard Lugar from office next year, the ideology that says that START must be bad despite every living Secretary of State and most of the Secretaries of Defense and some generals that worked under them stepping up to support it.
It’s the worst of neo-liberalism’s foreign policy, libertarian regulation policy, and fundamentalist scientific rigor wrapped up in a package so delusional that their idols like Glen Beck don’t get laughed off the air when they start accusing Google of being part of a liberal conspiracy against them.
Every year this move to delusional revolution drive more (and more conservative) Republicans out of the party. Sure, the base is more active, but that only gets you so far…
“+infinity” would be confusing to code.
With the amount of information Google controls, it’s not out of the realm of possibility.
Funny, he gives Facebook the credit. And I would give the Egyptian people the credit.
Let’s keep in mind that the poor beejster isn’t rooted in reality. He believes roads and bridges are okay until they collapse, and also that he’s making an impact on all the blogs. (I wonder if they finally booted him off of redstate? It would explain why he’s been hanging ’round these parts again.)
It made me laugh after DD killed my Friday woo-hoo.
Hurray for non-reality and an extreme minority spouting shit? Well, it worked today. And by beej standards, that makes it fine.
Have a freakin’ fantastic weekend, Ari! I’m personally looking forward to cleaning because it means I have time to clean. 🙂
You wanna come by and help tidy up here too? I just want to read this weekend…
Cheers.
Just because you’re the new FPE, it doesn’t make Pols any more relevant. You’re not making a difference on the blogs. In fact, http://www.coloradopeakpolitics.com will probably be the death of this site.
hasn’t made them irrelevant either; nor has your declaration that certain new blogs are going to put the old ones out of business. That’s why it’s a laugh that you call anyone “arrogant.”
Hee hee hee…
I mean irrelevant to the current political reality. Sure there are a bunch of angry leftists on here consoling each other about their loss and perpetuating their utopian fantasies, but it doesn’t affect the real world anymore.
LOL
Do you know any third or fourth graders that might be able to help you understand your error?
Colorado’s State House Republicans have a majority by a single seat. The more the GOP cracks down on moderate representatives and moderate caucus positions, the harder it will be for them to hold onto their majority in 2012.
