Tipton doesn’t listen. Why should his Tea Party staff, here and in Washington, be any different?
If Pace puts together the right team, he could easily pick up this seat. But he needs to hire seasoned staffers, consultants that know the Western Slope (particularly Durango north).
I hear she’s pretty adamant about campaign finance rules.
for picking up this story. I hadn’t heard it.
Not surprised, though. And I like the counterattack – Look at Polis! Classic Republican.
I’ve posted in various places links that rebut a conservative’s claims. The funny part is that they don’t respond directly or admit that there may be more to the story. Instead, they bring up a new issue.
not even a foothill.
I cannot believe the size of the headline in the Denver Post.
This is a targeted race for the House D’s and the R’s are playing defense with Tipton. This could easily be one of the most contested race this year… (Emphasis mine so none of my friends from the other Congressional districts take offense).
not like he meant anything as a factual statement. It’s not that’s he actually refudiated anything, but at least he voted to kill US jobs and increase energy prices.
It shows a consistent pattern of corruption and willingness to cheat like when Tipton scheduled a hearing on a wilderness proposal and tipped off the local Tea Party before it was announced to the public. Being a cheater is more than a molehill.
So he may be a liar and a cheater, even an nonethical fool, but he may not be a hypocrite.
I missed your post, but maybe someone at The Post didn’t.
He doesn’t seem like he knows what’s going on and is willfully breaking the rules while thinking he is going to get away with it.
Dumb? Careless? Willfully ignorant? Yes.
In an attempt to be the perfect Tea Party representative he does what he can not to look like a politician by not paying attention to the rules.
I’ve had co-workers like Tipton. They don’t pay attention to the rules unless the rules are crammed down their throats in writing in triplicate. If not, they break the rules and when you point it out to them they give you the blank stare and say “Well, I didn’t know”.
Aren’t they supposed to hire experienced people who can keep track of the details.
His mistakes always seem to be on the side of cheating. The guy never makes a mistake that is detrimental to him personally. Any goofus can make a mistake but a true goofus screws himself as much as he screws anyone else.
Your argument that he is just gloriously ignorant seems kind of weak to me Scott but I tend to be a conspiracy buff when it comes to Republican shenanigans.
And I’m pretty sure this gets covered in Frosh orientation. Its not just an ethical violation, its an election violation.
This is Scott Tipton we’re talking about.
Tipton is completely to blame for his screw-ups. I just see him less like Mr. Burns and more like Bart Simpson if I didn’t like Bart Simpson. He doesn’t care what the rules are because he’s a cool Tea Partier and that’s what the cool kids do.
