"The choice is between
normalcrazy orcrazycrazier."Pass the
popcorntin foil.Is there a "crazy but not mean" option in there anywhere?
re: "We are the party of common sense, rooted in liberty loving, small government, family friendly, God-given principles."
Ignoring his strange grammer, does anyone know if Kevin Lundberg has taken a side on whether Colorado elections are competently and fairly administered? Seems to me that could be an easy test of what is and is not "common sense" or "principles" in his mind.
I don't think Lundberg has enough active brain cells to formulate such a complex opinion.
Well, JiD, he did have a big Tina Peters for SoS sign in his front field last fall. QED?
Another white nationalist christofascist. I say we give them the Southern states and they can have their own, economically-depressed bigoted cesspool of a nation.
Another? Lundberg and his ilk are where that mess started. He was a MAGAt before MAGA was a thing.
It started way before him. Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon come to mind
Nah, Nixon and Reagan were merely religiously empowered. Yet both were willing to work with those they disagreed with to some degree to get the country's business done.
The true hard-core us vs. them mentality entered Congress with the 1994 election and subsequent Contract on America. It took a 22 years, and the retirement of several key Rational Republicans, but true MAGAtism took control of the GOP with the 2016 election pushed by TFG.
And by true MAGAtism I mean complete domination of the national party by the unpatriotic "patriot" movement which would rather have another Civil War than civil discussion.
I'll accept your definition of true MAGAtism, Dano, but have to quibble a tad if anyone downplays too much what happened before the Contract With America.
Reagan literally used MAGA as a campaign slogan. Before 1980, we had the Moral Majority (yes religious, but also very socially us-vs-them divisive) and the Powell Memo (long story short, corporate dominance of government). Reagan started to remilitarize the U.S. after the humiliations of Vietnam and the Iran Hostage crisis. Violence as a solution started cutting into the foothold on public sentiment the anti-war movement had established.
No doubt there have been flashpoints, maybe 1994 and 2017-21 MAGA and 1/6/21, but lots of fertilizer stocked up along the way. Just adding some perspective, not looking for trouble.
Spaceman, it started when Barry Goldwater opposed the 1964 civil rights bill purportedly as a matter of principle. (His family's retail business allegedly had a non-discrimination policy. He said he just opposed the government making people stop discriminating.)
In the fall of '64, he looked at the map and announced, "I'm going hunting where the ducks are." And ducks he bagged – Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina, to be exact.
Thus, was born the Southern Strategy refined and amplified by every Republican candidate since 1964 with the singular exception of Gerald Fords in 1976.
I meant in Colorado. Dano's right. It was the "Republican Revolution" and the Contract on America in '94 when things started to get really ugly. Remember, Reagan and Tip O'Neill used to be drinking buddies.
In all fairness, Tip would be drinking buddies with Breszhnev if the commie was buying.
You all are giving Reagan way too much credit. And Goldwater certainly had a hand in the march away from Eisenhower
Out of those options, Tina Peters has orders of magnitude more name recognition and notoriety than the others. I'll take "report to prison" for $800.
I am guessing Lundberg is thinking that if Morgan Carroll can do it with the Dems I can do it with the sewer rats.
Tina Peters could be the first Colorado GOP chairperson to report to prison, but she wouldn't be the first to be found guilty of a felony.

Showing once again that voter fraud takes place even if they have to commit it themselves to prove it.
Lest we forget, Kevin Lundberg is Colorado's original "election denier." In 1998, when Lundberg lost his state senate race to incumbent senator Stan Matsunaka (D Loveland) by 784 votes, he immediately began accusing the Larimer County Clerk & Recorder, a fellow Republican, of intentionally rigging the election for the incumbent, especially the absentee ballots. Of course in 1998, he provided no evidence to back-up his allegations and to this day, still has not provided any but as we all know, actual facts are a mere inconvenience for many Republicans. He fits right in with the kind of individuals who control the Republican Party today in Colorado. He'll make a fine chair who will drive more people out of the party.
