Please restrict your comments in this thread to issues surrounding the race for CD-5 between Republican Doug Lamborn and Democrat Jay Fawcett.

  1. Jay is going to pull a victory over Doug’s beady little eyes. The outer counties are going to win this for him. No one ever pays any attention to them and Jay has courted the hell out of them. Go Jay!

  2. I have to say I’m shocked by this one.  I didn’t think Jay could quite do it with all the R sheep, but I wasn’t expecting a blowout like this.  I was expecting something much closer.

  3. I told you folks that Lamborn would win by a substantial margin.  I told you newcomers about the history of the 5th CD, dating back to Ken Kramer and Tom Cronin in 1982.  But did you listen…NOOOOOOOOOO. 

    Lamborn pasted Fawcett.  Even with those disgruntled votes from the RINO’s and Lamborn still pastes Fawcett.  I calls em likes I sees em.

    1. I stayed away from this website and political news in general for the last couple of weeks so I don’t know what the polls were saying then. But I did think it would be a close race and it turned out not to be. But that isn’t totally surprising because registered R’s are pretty sheeplike (er, loyal) and most would vote for Idi Amin if he was their nominee.

  4. Fawcett still can’t poll any better against a sweaty, greasy dweeb like Lamborn than Bill Winter does against the Mighty Tancredo. What does THAT tell you?

    And keep in mind that in voter registration, the 6th CD is every bit as Republican as the 5th CD.

    Looking forward to seeing those two irresponsible nitwits Tancredo and Lamborn sitting in the back of the House chamber shooting spitwads at Speaker Pelosi.

  5. Lamborn wins but the 5th CD loses.  The Club for Growth spent far more money trying to beat Republican candidates across the nation than it did Democrat candidates.  The 11th Commmandment was religiously broken.  Democrats and Republicans alike can agree on that.

    While the CFG’s “winning” ways prevailed in the 5th CD, it’s agenda is not nor has it ever been to preserve the Republican majority.  Pat Toomey has expressly said that it is not.  I can study parties across political lines and that, friends, is a RINO.  The CFG is a front for the strongest libertarian movement in the USA.  If that’s the agenda anyone wants, more power to them.  That’s why, however, Congressman Jeff Flake is openly called a RINO as well–and carries a perfect 100 point rating from the Club for Growth. 

    In fact, Democrats thank you, CFG!  You have probably delivered control of the U.S. Senate from Republicans.  How so?  RHODE ISLAND!

    The outcome of Montana and Virginia isn’t assured but they appear to be in the (D) column, which recounts will probably require to confirm.  That little bit of braggadochio that Toomey had in his September 14 bulletin to CFG members bragging about what they had “accomplished” in Rhode Island with Lincoln Chafee–and how Republicans would be taking notice–is not now the notice the CFG may have wanted.  Chafee would have won in Rhode Island, but for the CFG’s campaign against Republicans.  There are Republicans who connect the dots.  And there are Democrats as well who do.  Why get in the way of a train wreck when the CFG is at the controls?  They may have won for Lamborn in the 5th, but, whooooooo boy, what RINO’s they are for the Republican party!

    The CFG’s agenda on illegal immigration, however, is advanced with a democrat controlled Senate.  They’ve openly pushed for Senate versions of immigration bills in the past. The Bush Administration’s open borders policies have rankled conservative Republicans.  So, why hasn’t it rankled the CFG?  Because, they’re libertarians!  With the house in Democrat control and with as many CFG controlled house members as Toomey can fit in his pockets, it’s a good time for Doug to be Doug.  Mike Pence will lead him in the paths in which he should go!
