Is Palacio to blame for Colorado Dems miserable performance in 2014?
After all the losses we suffered, I think it’s a time for a change in leadership,” Sabados told a group of Broomfield County Democrats on Wednesday at their biennial reorganization meeting.
Meyers, who ran against then-Weld County District Attorney Ken Buck in the heavily Republican 4th Congressional District, charges that Democrats have lost their way under Palacio’s leadership.
“We don’t, in my opinion, have a statewide party right now. We have a Denver-centric party,” Meyers said at the Lincoln County Democratic Party’s reorganization on Sunday in Limon.

It seems the inmates in rural Colorado are tiring or their masters in Denver/Bouler and Washington.
With the exception of losing one U.S. Senate seat and a net loss of one state Senate seat, the Colorado Dems help what they had going into the '14 election: governorship, 3 out 7 U.S. House seats and a majority in the state House. This in the face of a so-called wave election.
held what they had, not help
Obama says true stuff, makes GOTP spit coffee in faux outrage at prayer breakfast.
MJ,
The reason we are not treating ISIS seriously is because of . . . the crusaders?
Jindal put it well:
Shouldn't Piyush "Bobby" Jindal spend more time looking for ways to balance his state's woefully out-of-balance budget and less time on foreign policy?
What about the NO GO ZONES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?
In NoLa?
Is religion evil? http://www.salon.com/2015/02/07/is_religion_evil_weighing_centuries_of_war_body_counts_abuse/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=socialflow
In a word, yes. Think Torquemada and the Inquisition. Think al Queda and ISIS/ISIL. Think Fred Phelps. Think Timothy McVeigh.
Yes. Next stupid question.
Think 30 years war in Germany.
…because everyone in Louisiana uses state elective office and public resources to run hopeless national campaigns for Vice Presidential nominee.
You really are full of shit, PissAnt. What the hell do you call all the ordinance raining down on the "IslamicState"? It seems to me the military is taking this seriously because the are not being led by a egotistical ignoramus with a cowboy diplomacy bent. They are being led by a brilliant man…a good man..with a backbone…something the GOP wishes they could find within their ranks.
DC, They are not being led at all. That is the problem.
No …the problem is you are a political sycophant who cannot escape your right wing ideology long enough to actually see anything clearly. The president is doing his job..and well.
The problem is called Obama Derangement Syndrome..and you are afflicted.
Not at all what he said. Simply pointed out the there is a history of violence done in the name of religion, not just Islam. Listening to rightie talking heads sputtering about how dare Obama compare ISIS to the crusades, especially the latest burning alive abomination, is a particularly WTF experience considering that the Catholic Church, both when it was the sole western expression of Christianity and later as it battled Protestant "heresies" and went after New Christians, converted Jews and Christians, often three generations removed from their ancestors religion, in Spain and Portugal, burned people to death quite regularly, mainly after torturing them horribly to exact confessions. It wasn't out of control rogues. It was the Church and State establishment.
Obama never said that Christian or other religious violence excuses or mitigates ISIS actions. He simply pointed out that throughout history people have gotten quite carried way with what they thought their God required of them. Atrocities in the name of God have been as common as dirt throughout human history. Let's not do that anymore was the message. Not…. ISIS isn't really so bad.
Even after the "dark ages"

Seriously.
I cannot or do not understand the blasé and casual approach to confronting Da'sh(Isis, isil).
We are fighting Iran's battle for them. And Syria's.
Of course, threat is also to Saudi Arabia, aka House of Saud.
I know no one is talking about restoring a Turkish, Ottoman-esque, strong man to quell the region. But really- we fight for Syria and Iran the safety of the greater Syriana or we are weak on Da'sh?
The right's desire to bash Obama on anything and everything is fine. Childish and stupid, but no matter. What military strategy would you have us execute in the region, and directed at Isis that would make Americans safer?
Ps

Love it. Maybe Obama is trying to drive them over the edge of sanity. They are so close.
If we weren't guzzling oil like there's no tomorrow, we could forget about ISIS and let the Saudis tame the beast they helped unleash. 'Course, when your Vice President is getting paid by his oil services employer while in office that's a lot less likely to happen.
Fox's Bolling: "Reports say radical Muslim jihadists killed thousands of people in the past few months alone. And yet when you take Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, whatever, their combined killings in the name of religion––well, that would be zero.”
Yes, he said "zero" killed in the name of Christianity.
If Obama says the sky is blue……….
Let's talk frankly about repealing the mag ban, Democrats.
Democrats sponsoring magazine ban repeal bill
They need to do so because of the districts they represent. I'm one of those Big Tent Democrats who isn't put off by Dems voting their constituents. Let the process work. If the mag bill gets through the House (an unlikely event), then it's presented to the governor for signature or veto.
I suggest the Neville and Cadman start looking for 24 in the Senate and 44 in the House.
Remember this?
Isn't he the guy that beat you like a drum?
Let's talk frankly about priotities. Is this the most important issue affecting people's day to day lives? Are any of the issues righties push the second they attain legislative majorities? Are jobs and economic issues ever the first thing on a new Republican majority's list? Ever? But of course modster won't respond. He's dropped his latest one and done.
priorities
In their screwed up minds, this IS the most important issue, followed closely apparently by the God-given right to forego getting measles vaccinations.
Another republican switches parties because of Obamacare http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/02/07/1362905/-Mississippi-Republican-switched-to-Democratic-Party-because-GOP-refused-Obamacare-s-Medicaid
That got my day off to a good start, Denverco. Let's hope more of them finally feel the last straw laid on their backs.

Not good news: http://blogs.denverpost.com/thespot/2015/02/06/democrats-sign-bill-repealing-ammo-magazine-limits/117125/
Not super surprising. Colorado Dems like their guns too. Vigil voted against the bill, as did Jahn. This one probably won't stick unless Lebsock has changed his mind since he voted against the bill last year. If I count right, Vigil and he make it 33-32 against the limit.
If they win the mag ban issue and then shut up about the rest…have they really won?….
I don't see how they win on that issue. It will pass the Senate, probably on 21 to 14 vote. Hypothetically if it were to pass the House, Hick would probably veto it. I say "probably" because they would have had a better shot at the mag limit repeal becoming law had they not humiliated the governor last year when he made his effort at reconciliation with the ammosexuals via his apology.
Had they simply accepted the apology and then presented a bill to him, they could have presented it as an opportunity for Hick to make amends. But the constitutional sheriffs couldn't help themselves and they had to rub Hick's face in it. Payback is a bitch.
BTW. The Anti Defamation League, a very old school traditional American Jewish organization, thinks Bibi should cancel. If he was trying to get mostly Democratic American Jews to pressure Dems in congress on his behalf, he seriously misread us.
Can you get that much egg of your face without losing a lot of face? Bibi and Boehner stepped in it this time….
"off" your face…not "of"…
get this…
Anonymous ‘Hacktivists’ Just Smacked The Taste Out Of ISIS’s Mouth
Anonymous just destroyed months of recruiting work for the terrorist network known as ISIS.
this is followed by a long list of urls.
http://www.mintpressnews.com/anonymous-hacktivists-just-smacked-the-taste-out-of-isiss-mouth/201956/
Anonymous does great work.
I love this. All the governments trying to fight these dangerous lunatics with guns should pool some of the money they're wasting on that effort and get some newer, even faster computers for Anon to allow them to step up their phreaking of the wackos networks. Now, that's defense work.
And they have cajones muy grande…
