Blaha Hits Lamborn's "Ineffective Leadership"

With a H/T to John Schroyer of the Colorado Springs paper, the above is from a mailer sent recently by CD-5 GOP primary candidate Robert Blaha, mounting a challenge to incumbent Rep. Doug Lamborn. Anyone familiar with Lamborn’s record, both in Congress and during his time in the Colorado General Assembly, is going to crack an involuntary smile over this attack on Lamborn’s “0-for-37” score.

Because while it’s true that Lamborn has mostly been in the minority during that time, and as a result naturally isn’t going to have lots of passed legislation, six years just sounds like a long time to go without passing anything. And as Lamborn’s colleagues in the Colorado legislature can recall, he just didn’t have very many good ideas–remember his big plan to switch the names of Mount Democrat and Republican Mountain, because Mount Democrat is taller.

Blaha’s aptitude is untested, but he’s right that Lamborn is no Thomas Jefferson.
