From what I hear this could be wishful thinking Pols. Remember, one more and Republicans take back the Senate. Who's it going to be?
Not telling! You'll know soon enough.
Duh, N3B, you all are after Rhonda Fields. That's been telegraphed for months. The recall committee against her has all of $336.00 on hand, but is still filing reports.
And if that weren't enough, Mr. Fladen's constant defense (on here) of poor Miss Marble, victimized by mean old Rhonda Fields should give everyone a pretty good clue.
I'm sure that we all can't wait for the next round of sexist, racist rants by conservative operatives.
Rhonda Fields has certainly earned a recall for her hypocritical gun control bills as a convicted criminal herself. But I was talking about a Senator…
No more hints!
FYI, N3B: Never challenge an obsessive researcher. So, according to a lovely website named "Recall the Rogues", the next targets for recalls are none other than Senators Udall and Bennet.
However, the required signature count – 25% of voters in the last election for the Senators would be, hmmmm. In 2010, Michael Bennet received 794,724 votes. 25% of that would be a paltry 198,681 signatures you'd have to gather for a recall. As for Mark Udall, he won his 6 year term in 2008 with 1,166,207 votes. 25% of that would be 291,551 votes. And "Recall the Rogues" only has 60 days to gather 490,232 votes to recall these senators!
Better get crackin'.
Or, you could just do what you're supposed to do – wait for the next fricking election.
That will be entertaining if true – they're Federally elected, so any recall attempt would fail in the courts.
Details, details. You and your facty facts.
Herpin and Rivera are right wing extremists. They will both lose in 2014.
Fields? I was planning to visit the Republican party's death bed, but I'll plan to lay a wreath on it's grave if that happens. http://data.denverpost.com/election/results/state-house/2012/district-42/
Fields does represent a really solidly Democratic district. Of course, we thought that about Giron, too. Nevertheless, there is an active recall committee that can make trouble. If there is any legal loophole that can screw up good order and normal elections, you can count on these people to find and exploit it.
The pendulum swings both ways little man. Go after one more Dem and see one of your own in the same boat.
I think I might take that dare. Stay tuned!
Remember–Eggs are People.
n3b is a confirmed idiot. Got it.
n3b: You need Obamacare to take care of your mental illness.. It's covered..
Hawkeye,
That is what you call an ad hominem attack (to the person). It actually weakens your argument, because it says that you don't have an argument, and must attack the person instead.
I disagree with N3B on almost everything he posts – but I'm not going to attack him personally, or say he has a mental illness, or whatever. Because I don't know that.
Thank you for you encouraging greater civility.
The idiot (I believe it has been demonstrated and I can provide links thus it is descriptive and not normative) has as his icon a red Republican shooting a blue person (with a lunch pail). There is no possibility of civility here. Respect should be granted to people until they demonstrate they are unworthy of it (IMO). But I am a weaker human apparently, and probably would only allow someone to slap one of my checks and not present the other.
Can't wait to see this. You're only 2-for-4 in recall attempts, no vulnerable Dems left, and you won't have the Libertarians mucking up the works with mail-in ballots if you try again. Go after a metro area Dem and watch how hard you get spanked. Bring it on.
Don't be so confident that there are no districts left where Dems are vulnerable. Giron was theoretically not vulnerable, and we still have the same problem with mail-in ballots that we had for the last recalls. Of course, we also have voters who are more aware of the consequences of not voting now, too…
Giron was a special case – she was in a heated primary when she first ran and wasn't exactly loved by the Pueblo Establishment. theoretically she wasn't "vulnerable" but there was certainly blood in the water, just watch how fast that district swings back to the Dems next time 'round.
Hudak was considered "vulnerable" and that recall effort didn't even get off the ground. As was the guy in southeast Colorado (can't remember the name at the moment). You won't see a Giron-level surprise in other districts.
Sorry, n3b. It's already over.
Take a long look at the morons running the House. And the entire recall was illegal in the first place anyway. Nowak vs Combs was ignored, and there is a Colorado Constitution crisis underway – the only resolution is the removal of the illegal recall participants and a fair and just elections. No more monkeying.
Watch your precious GOP lose massively starting this November and beyond.
We don't forget who the teatards are, and you are among one of them.. Again, I give you the choice of leaving this website or get your ass kicked on a daily basis, and it'll not just be me. It'll be many others.
When will the Tea Party start recalling some of those "moderate" Republican senators?
The american people know you republicans are extremists who are responsible for shutting down the government. In 2014. you republicans are going to lose your seats/
From my veiwpoint–it is going to be very hard for the two new GOP members to even get re-elected, let alone the GOP increase their numbers in the State Senate.
All one has to do is look at the mess in Washington—how many Republicans are going to survive the anger of voters come 2014?
It's a sad day in Pueblo town. We're replacing a dynamic leader with a third rate, barely articulate sherriff. He will be summarily booted out in 2014, hopefully for Senator Giron or another good candidate.
For the record one more time, Pols – you've never substantiated any of these rumors that there is 'democratic infighting in Pueblo" which contributed to Giron's defeat.
Your sources hide behind anonymity, and as I've said before, it carries about as much weight as the Fox News claim that "some people say something". But that's your schtick, and you're going to keep on beating it, apparently.
What happened? We Dems couldn't or didn't turn out the vote for a polling place election in an off year. She was elected in 2012 with a 10% margin, with an all mail-ballot election. The endless litigation in courts running up to the recall had one purpose, to deny the Democratic Senators their mail-in ballot edge. There were other factors, such as the over-emphasis (I think) on the "personhood" issue, and the under-emphasis on the actual gun legislation.
We Pueblo progressives are going to have to get better at this – I admit that. But continuing to nurture these rumors that "some Pueblo Dems are feuding" has zero news value, and doesn't advance better communication.
Hmm. Did you (or Pols) ever consider that maybe those 30-50% of Dems who voted to recall Giron just value their Second Amendment rights??
Stop fighting among yourselves and wake up. Giron deserved what she got. Thousands of Pueblo Democrats agreed.
Are they a member of a regulated militia or a law enforcement members?
That is how I *strictly* interpret the 2nd Amendments. You are sounding like you want to give guns to babies, asshole.
Or how about *convienently* leaving out facts about the recall – as in no mail ballots was allowed because the whiny Liberterians colluded with the Republicans to complain about the mail ballots, dickwad? Giron and Morse would have easily defeated the recall had the idiotic judge (who'll be thrown out) ruled correctly and ignored the Liberterians, and mail ballots were done.
I *strongly* suggest that you get the hell out of Colorado if you don't like the new laws. Wyoming is beckoning for inbred morons like yourself.
What's his name is here to disrupt. I would suggest not responding, unless you just want to see how asinine he or she can be. You could wack him up side the head with a baseball bat, but just like the zombies, there will be another one right behind him. God give us patience. MJM
"God give us patience" . . .
. . . and a few more baseball bats !!
The new age gunners that make up the NRA in particular and the country bumpkin types of the RMGO are for the most part heller types that don't actually either understand or care about what the 2nd Amendment was/is for. "Militia" doesn't resonate because older goons pretty much massaged it out of the conversation.
The new age gunners of the current goon movement only know the bastardized version of the Amendment.
It makes it easier to try to bridge that awkward combination of being a radical gun nut but never having served your country. n3b has shown to be of that stripe on many an occasion. Others that actually dodged have posted here, but the majority of goons we see here seem new age.
The GOP doesn't give a crap about "constitutions" or "laws" when it doesn't benefit them. Hey, Stand Your Ground in Florida is working great, right?
N3B, where are you getting your "statistic" that 30-50% of Dems voted to recall Giron? That wouldn't square with the voter turnout results: Out of 34,827 votes, 19,451 (~55%) voted for the recall. Turnout: Democrats, 14,633; Republicans, 10,329; and unaffiliated, 6,867.
Assuming that all Republicans and all unaffiliated voters voted for the recall, which I doubt, that would total 17,196 for the recall, leaving 2255 Democratic votes, or about the number who signed 20% of the 11,000 recall petition votes. Out of the 19,451 recall votes, only 162 were identifiably Democratic voters who wrote in Anglund's name as a successor candidate.
So your 30-50% of Democratic voters? 2,200 out of 38,195 registered Democratic voters is 5% of registered Democrats in the district. It's not a Democratic crossover problem – it is a voter turnout problem.
We did not turn out the people we needed to, and the deliberate efforts by our partisan Secretary of State to discredit the law requiring an all mail in ballot election suppressed the vote effectively.
Ain't math wonderful?
That's the way to win an argument. Numbers. Facts. Giron will win IF she wants the headache again.
MJ55, please tell your husband I'm thinking about him every day. He needs VA care because he protected my family. The American way of life. Our culture, and our flag.
I owe him better than this.
Please tell him thank you
Thanks, Rocco. I will. He's my ex-husband, but he's a good egg, and we try to look out for him. It's aggravating that the VA is now accumulating claim backlogs at 2,000 per day. Even with the best of intentions, it's hard to see how they get through that to give vets appropriate services.
I don't know anything about the district so wouldn't know if rumors of in-fighting are accurate or not but do know that Giron lost by way too much for there to be much point in insisting it was all about mail in ballots. She lost. Without the mail in problem she would have lost by less but that kind of thing simply shaves or adds a few points. It can't account for such a large margin. Denial isn't helpful.
I expect indictments on both Riveria and Herpes. Along with the GOP.
They are domestic terrorist organization and should be recognized as such.
Did you read what mamajean wrote earlier about ad hominem attacks? "Riviera" and "Herpes" ain't helping your cause, bud.
