You’ve got ads to draft newt and one for John McCain – but none for the A team. I’m starting to worry that ColoradoPols (unlike the state) is a conservative, right-wing, Republican site 🙂
who aren’t as loyal to the red or blue as they are the green. Vive la Abramoff!!!!! 🙂
I imagine that if you divided the number of hours they have spent on this site by the amount of ad revenue (minus expenses), their hourly pay rate is most likely pretty close to babysitting hourly rates.
I’ve heard that babysitting gets $8-10 an hour. Not shabby. Better than your run of the mill no-low skill jobs out there. And no expenses, benefits from one’s parents. Not shabby.
Is that the case, parents of tykes?
and I feel perfectly fine with the people who take care of my toddlers getting paid more than the people who push a button to lower my fries into a vat of oil. What this has to do with politics I have no idea, but hell, it’s Friday.
The point is that ‘Pols will take anyone’s cash. As Newt’s supporters chose to advertise here, you’d have to question their sanity … but their coin spends every bit as well as that of their preferred advertisers.
It’s that Republican candidates find this a useful forum by which to reach primary voters. Maybe the readership here is heavily Republican 🙂
Except for those coupla noisy ones.
pots and pans :>)
OOOOOOOK – LAAAAAAA – HOMAAAAAA OKLAHOMAAAAAAA OKLAHOMAAAAAAA!!!!!

Can’t have something that would encourage more of the religious right to face thier sexuality…
…it’s “Just don’t hit on me, and we’ll get along just fine.” It’s always the Jimmy Swaggart-types who focus obsessively on their favorite sins. I would submit that the vast majority of religious gay-bashing is done by those who secretly attracted to men — just as Jimmy and Dobson are obsessed by porn. What Ted and Fred do in bed matters not a whit to my marriage, and it is objectively difficult to see how it necessarily affects theirs.
I caught some of gunnybob’s radio show last night where clear channel made him invite and give equal time to the head of the Colorado Muslin Council…..
Did anyone else?
It was an excellent show…..give and take…hard questions…a lot of calls and emails…evidently not screened and the Muslin, whose name I can’t spell, was very good….sounded like a jesuit at times….but explained his religion thoroughly with passion and logic…It is what the Fairness Doctrine might sound like…
that never would have happened if clear channel wasn’t “under the imus gun”…IMHO….
what pissed me off is when you hear how good talk radio can be…and then realize that we get crap most of the time…back to scatology references, rumors and proganda….pisses me off big time…
🙂
Is that an advocacy group for sail cloth, akin to the American Duct Tape Council and/or the Ketchup Advisory Board?
They’ve been stickin it to the rayon people for years…
I believe that a group of Muslims for America sponsored or orchestrated Newt Gingrich’s appearance in Denver yesterday, and that may have been why they were on GunnyBob’s show.
Gingrich is traveling around the country to advocate American Solutions, which is focused on soliciting solutions and ideas for improving government from a broad base of people. Gingrich’s model for soliciting a broad base of “solutions” has been described as a Solution-Wiki similar to how entries in Wikipedia are contributed and edited by the public. I believe the roll out date for the technology is early Fall 2007.
The proposal is considerably different than the current political model where politicos audition for voters, broadcast to the public what they think/stand for and report on what they did rather than actually ask people what they want, solicit ideas from the public or figure out ways of actually making government work effectively. It’s also different in that it’s a “positive” dialog (“What do you believe will make government better”) rather than a “negative” dialog (“Let me tell you why my opponent and his/her party are lying sacks of crap.”).
It’s an intriging idea/model. The American Solutions web site is

According to an article in one of the Denver papers about 2-3 wks back, the genesis for the appearance of the Muslim on GunnyBob (who I have never listened to) was the statement by GB that all Muslims in US should have to wear radio surveillance devices as presumed terrorists. The Muslim spokesperson, who is a Denver businessman, came to the station asking for equal time–this was following the Imus flap and probably that did enter into the decision.
And no government controls in sight! Weird….
I see that the Senate passed a major energy bill with a lot of important, progressive (meant as in progess, not ideology) components.
But the R’s? Including our very own Mr. 1899, were upset that our country was no longer going to depend on, and use lots of, fossil fuels. Conservation? Alternative energies? How dare America get out of its energy pickle without the help of Exxon-Mobil-BP-Chevron-Citgo?
But to the R’s that have a brain, to their credit, about 15 voted for the bill. That’s not even one out of three.
Romney’s directory of operations
because he has been busted for similar activities before (2004), Mitt knew about it and apparantly sanctioned it.
Do we really need another secrettive adminastration, that flaunts the law and uses intimidation tactics?
Reminds me a little of the Denver three and the Bush staffer impersonating a secret service agent.
Isn’t it fun to play “Make Believe”?
what a creep. Better throw the book of Mormon at em.
By throwing it?
That’s the bottom line psychological base of conservatives. They love authority, whether it is imaginary up in the sky, or in a jack boot, or impersonating an officer. It doesn’t matter if they are the supplicant or the dominant, it’s all part of knowing one’s place in the universe.
Libs can revere and respect someone, but it is for that person’s accomplishments or ideology, not the office alone or the power that can come with it.
As my old back window sticker said, “Question Authority.” And yes, there was a peace sign sticker with it.
