as their new chair.
He’s a good pick since he has ample experience with financial, er, inconsistencies.
Look at Lucero’s bidness, er, successes, or the lack thereof, in the past 10 years. Should be even more amusing.
But coming in second to Lucero, with all of Lucero’s problems, this guy Wilson must be a REAL loser.
He’s just some doctoral student at CSU.
No longer Chestnut, but close enough to see where he got the name. Doobie.

he wags his tail.
Maybe he can’t be chairman of the Larimer Republicans, but he still brings smiles to his neighborhood.
over a tea puppet who works with numbers
Big surprise
because of Wilson’s proven honesty issues
David Chestnut was the dishonest one.
see, they’re different
“I don’t mind lying, but I hate inaccuracy.” – Samuel Butler
Michael Hancock’s TV spot is far and away the best so far.
Boigon’s is just awful.
Romer’s is just another cookie cutter spot and he sounds terrible
Mejia’s ten second ditty is far and away the worst. He looks and sounds like Alfalfa from the Little Rascals. If he paid for that ad he should ask for his money back.
By contrast Hancock looks strong and Mayoral and talks about his record.
I’m not a Hancock fan but that ad should cause his rivals to be concerned.
give the shilling a rest.
Am I right or wrong in my analysis of the various ads? Based upon my posts who am I shilling for?
As for obscenities at least capitalize where appropriate.
give the shilling a rest.
Most people are aware that opinions are neither right or wrong.
Michael Hancock’s TV spot is cookie cutter and mediocre.
Boigon’s is fine.
Romer sounds like that all the time.
Mejia’s is also just fine. He looks and sounds like himself.
By contrast, both Romer (especially) and Boigon do indeed speak of their record.
I’m not a fan of Hancock, but that as should cause his rivals to know he’s pulling in decent money. Unless, of course, everyone is voting based on who has the best hair and voice. Based on your opinion.
You really shouldn’t be correcting anyone’s typing.
You could try for an actual analysis if you want to discuss them. I’m not sure how doable it is in thirty or ten seconds, but you could give it a go. Try to keep your disapproval of women over (I’m guessing here) 35 and accents out of it. Worth running up the flag pole!
Hey Hancock’s ad is far and away the best from whatever standpoint you wish to employ.
Production was top notch and it had a strong clear message. That cannot be said of the other ads.
Mejia’s ten second ads are horrid. Romer’s is merely OK and he probably gave Axelrod $200,000 to produce it.
Boigon’s is almost as bad as Mejia’s.
I think that Hancock’s ad will move his poll numbers in the right direction. None of the other ads does so.
Unless this is some kind of opinion and not an analysis at all. Is this therapy for you? Throw in an actual analysis and I could send over business cards with your new title; Analrapist.
You could try again. Then we could do Persistent Analrapist cards.
Come on!
its an ANALYSIS !
From Barry Goldwater. gay and lesbian rights supporter.
“”There is no position on which people are so immovable as their religious beliefs. There is no more powerful ally one can claim in a debate than Jesus Christ, or God, or Allah, or whatever one calls this supreme being. But like any powerful weapon, the use of God’s name on one’s behalf should be used sparingly. The religious factions that are growing throughout our land are not using their religious clout with wisdom. They are trying to force government leaders into following their position 100 percent. If you disagree with these religious groups on a particular moral issue, they complain, they threaten you with a loss of money or votes or both. I’m frankly sick and tired of the political preachers across this country telling me as a citizen that if I want to be a moral person, I must believe in ‘A,’ ‘B,’ ‘C,’ and ‘D.’ Just who do they think they are? And from where do they presume to claim the right to dictate their moral beliefs to me? And I am even more angry as a legislator who must endure the threats of every religious group who thinks it has some God-granted right to control my vote on every roll call in the Senate. I am warning them today: I will fight them every step of the way if they try to dictate their moral convictions to all Americans in the name of ‘conservatism.’ ” (1909-1998) US Senator (R-Arizona) Source: Congressional Record, September 16, 1981

Can we have a poll? When will Congressman Tipton express his first original thought?
Rick Santorum, who wants to be your president, has said the Social Security system is in trouble because there are too few younger workers paying into it.
And the reason for too few younger workers ? Abortion.
The GOP primaries next year should be very entertaining.
But clearly now I see that it is a lack of babies
we’ll see him in Iowa & New Hampshire to test the waters but he won’t force a ripple compared to Wild Eyes Bachmann. She’s the run away fav w/ crazee conserva-dumb fundamentalist — heck she’s even gonna freeze Huck out of the game.
Bachmann was sitting on $5.5 mil by end of 2010 and I’m sure she’s cashing in her Koch & AFP & TeaParty chits to bleed the network for as many ill-gotten gains as they’re willing to part with.
Fox found a convenient way to let go of Sticky Rick but honestly no one can & should give him a listen. He’ll pop up w/ his wise political punditry for WND or some Christian broadcaster but his days in politics are waning. Trouble is he can’t do anything other than graft off the public.
This must mean Santorum will be in the forefront, pushing for a pathway to citizenship for all those illegal immigrant workers who will be so valuable in keeping social security afloat in the future. This will start helping us even faster than the keep those babies coming plan. We don’t even have to wait for them to grow up and get to work. He should be relieved that we already have a solution so simple and immediate at hand.
And then there’s Rep. Coffman who, when asked at a town hall about whether he thinks we need universal health care, said, as so many of us have already been saying, that we already have it as anyone can go to an ER.
Since Coffman is a fiscal conservative who recognizes that it isn’t a question of whether but of what kind of universal healthcare we should have, I’m sure we can count on him to support ditching the universal by last minute, dire situation ER system he admits we already have, the lowest quality, least efficient and most expensive of all the world’s universal systems, in favor of one similar to those in place in every other modern industrialized country that would provide much higher quality for much lower cost. Wouldn’t that be the fiscally responsible thing to do? I’m sure he must be all over it.
Good to know we now have Republicans who must (why wouldn’t they given their opinions and concerns?) support both pathway to citizenship for the workers who are going to be there for us in our old age and guaranteed, cost effective quality universal healthcare. Super!
Sorry about all the bold print but couldn’t contain my excitement at finding such important common ground woth Santorum and Coffman. Who knew?
..and an amazing turnout. Over 150 people from 51 different agencies across the state, including non-profit, faith-based, city state & local gov’t, faculty and staff of several campuses, student vets, the VA, and Bill Holen of Rep Perlmutter’s office.
Painfully absent – ANYONE from Mike Coffman’s offce. This despite being personally invited by one of the Marines he deployed with, who is now a student at Metro.
Again, why are the touchy-feely lib’ruls in Congress the ones actually involved in taking care of Vets, while the so-called Veterans in Congress calling for the caregivers at the VA to take a 2-week furlough?
Beej, I’d love to hear your half-baked, Bondo fume-altered bizarro-world explanation for this…
Was anyone there from DeGette’s office?
Sounds like it was a successful feat of organization. Good luck on taking it forth from there, having established new connections between people and organizations.
…And I did invite the entire Colorado delegation on the Front Range, to include both Senators. (Sen Bennet was in DC signing the IAVA Jobs for Vets pledge, so he gets only a 1 demerit.)
One thing that was great was that a lot of private behavioral health professionals were there. They asked a lot of “military society” questions, as well as lot about Military Sexual Trauma. The Salvation Army table had a lot a questions about VA benefits for incarcerated Vets, and the folks from Denver Rescue Mission were busy at the breaks chewing on our ears.
All paid for by the Colorado Dept of Behavioral Health Vets Court Grant…no cost to any attendees!
While the Republicans run on “jobs, jobs, jobs” and then busy themselves with critically important tasks like defunding NPR and whittling away at women’s rights.
The US House of Representatives has become one great, big Dilbert comic, with the Republicans in the role of Wally. (“I’m not lazy, I’m useless. They’re two different things.”)
