If you thought that the 
Williams, of course, was not at all concerned about his own State GOP staff sending out emails last May 
Hmmmm………deleted.
Much as they detest “the libs,” they loathe each other even more.
Welp, maybe we leave them alone, and they'll tear each other apart.
Yep. They seem to be doing a fine job of destroying the Party on their own. Is there any way we can egg them on?
Mike Littwin thought about writing on the Colorado Republican feuding, but chose the larger threat — RFK & his crew on vaccines.
Littwin: Now that we know RFK Jr.’s top aide asked FDA to ban polio vaccine, isn’t it time for Polis to admit his mistake?
The problem with Gov. Polis and many other officeholders today is that our current system attracts and rewards cowardly sycophants. The positive personality traits that feed the desire for public service, to listen and seek consensus have curdled into submissive self-humiliation in hopes of appeasing the toxic impulses of those in higher office.
Appeasement never works. We've been here before. You can only stand up to bullies, not cater to them hoping to mitigate their worst impulses.
Well said, Harry Doby.
I agree with your assessment about the population of our political body. Until campaign reform actually happens, the body politic will be so.
Big Money is in charge…
…human dignity is the victim.
I don't know the motivations of Gov. Polis.
But before labeling him by inference a "cowardly sycophant," it is worth remembering that he, along with 3 other rich donors, were major donors and strategists responsible for turning Colorado blue in the 1990s and 2000s.
Mike Littwin's article you linked to above explains my frustration with Gov. Polis' lack of courage. My comment was actually referring to the much larger trend among politicians, not so much about Polis specifically.
Yeah, well, that seems pretty self-serving to me, which speaks to my beef with Polis. He has made a handful of seriously bogus and hurtful decisions that appeared to be cowardly, but upon a closer look, are merely greedy and treacherous.
He is not different than a plethora of politicians who are wealthy and THINK like a rich person. No matter how hard they try, they always put themselves first.
Never fails.
Polis puts himself first, which includes putting his future political aspirations above the interests of his constituents. Lather. Rinse. Repeat. I won't miss him when he's out of the CO executive branch.
Chavez is wrong for threatening violence.
Williams is wrong when he talks.
It would be nice to think this take would cause the Colorado GOP to stop sowing falsehoods ands clarly encouraging physical violence against gay people, trans people and liberals but I'm not holding my breath.
