That’s huge.
I would hardly say huge… huge would be one of the Big 6 veteran organizations; VFW, American Legion etc.
but this is a very active group. They’re members get out and knock on doors, show up at rallies and are generally visible. That’s worth a lot to a campaign.
Don’t belittle our Colorado Veterans.
What do you mean?
I was being sarcastic. CO was trying to belittle my comment, so I was going to use a republican talking point; when in doubt, invoke the troops and wave a flag!!
I won’t do it again, especially in light of republicans voting against our troops yesterday. They don’t care about the troops on the ground, but rather about the man in the white house. They are loyalists, not patriots.
Don’t these veterans know that she may have said “senators” when she meant “assembly?” Or maybe it was “100” instead of…something. No, wait, I think it was something about a parenthesis…
I just lost interest in my own post.
You’re as bad as Karl Rove. JFG will say “have a nice day” and you’ll ping her for not saying “have a wonderful day.”
Your credibility re JFG or JP is basically 0 when you keep spewing statements like this. Save it for something real.
Wile E was being sarcastic…
I’m tired of the sock puppets that use any excuse to run down JP or JFG – they’re as bad as the wing-nuts who find anything Hillary terrible.
And the thing is, there are clear differences between all three of them. And JFG’s vote on Iraq and JP’s wording of 41 are legit issues. But please lets stay at least mostly on the actual issues and differences.
thanks – dave
I’m hardly belittling veterans, simply stating that the endorsement isn’t as big as an endorsement from VFW.
They are hosting a flag burning tonight at 8 pm on the West Steps of the Capitol, to be followed by a lecture titled “Ho Chi Min was right and Saddam was his best pupil”.
When the VFW endorses her I’ll be impressed.
Before you slander these veterans how about stating what your service to the country has been? These guys have taken bullets for the United States. What have you done?
You may not like their politics but accusing them of being communist sympathizers is beyond the pale.
“beyond the pale” really meant something.
the “newbie” here.
Iron_Mike has been posting on and off for years here. And to answer for him, yes, he did serve.
He has gone into great details about his service in past posts.
But he is not one to gloat or answer snide remarks about his time in the service.
That is probably why he did not respond to yours.
At least this is an actual endorsement. Though, a glance at their website tells you their not as much a Vet organization as an anti-war group (which is GOOD. God knows I’m not knocking a group of Anti-war Vets).
Lets just not pretend this clears up JFG’s “record” as it’s obvious she has an existing relationship w/ this group and neither WS or JP do (the 2 pics of JFG front and center are what I mean. look at the website).
But a positive development for JFG nonetheless. Thank you for finding something substantive Pols.

they may be anti-war but they are veterans. More than can be said for the chicken-hawks who still support this mess.
Steve, do you need a new deck of cards? http://www.chickenha…
I know a lot of the CVA guys.
Many of them are hugely active in the party, like Stan Davis. Some of them are staffers, like Perlmutter’s Bill Holen. Some are elected, like Joe Rice.
All in all, the ones I know are about anti-Bush as you can be and some of them were with Veterans for Kerry back in the day.
Not really surprising they are for Joan, seeing as they have the sort of deep party history Joan’s endorsers tend to have, but the people that I know in that group have wanted us out of Iraq for a long time so it speaks well to that issue.
I don’t know how the group chooses its candidate, so I don’t know if the ones I know are individually supporters or not (I am pretty sure at least one former Polis staffer is a member of their group) but they are a group that will walk and knock, so I count this one as a nice win for JFG.
TBTH is right, this group does have a lot of high profile politicos along with an active volunteer base. Big pick up for JFG on this one, kind of douses JP’s knocking her on that vote (which was ridiculous to do to begin with people, 100 out of 100 legislators voted for it!).
This is just another sign that JFG just has it together while JP is going to stand there and try and find out what sticks. I think he’ll find not much sticks to a moving target though.
And as for WS, yeah, just keeping your head down only works for so long. He is a tremendous longshot but deserves credit for still being perceived as anything more than that.
At some point he has to engage, but he can wait until people are sick of the JP/JFG sniping. All he has to do is remain viable until then.
But remember that his name ID is close to zero. So, yes, he needs money but he also needs to get his face out there.
Any polling on the name ID for the other 2? I know all of us insiders have heard of everybody, but the average voter? My guess is that no one is over 25%…and probably much less than that.
