RedState Gathering Moves Mountains To Denver

13 Comments

by: Colorado Pols

In mid-August, most of the conservative media- and pundit-sphere will descend on Denver for the 8th Annual RedState Gathering at the Grand Hyatt:

We’re excited to bring the 2016 RedState Gathering to Denver, Colorado! Join us, along with hundreds of other grassroots activisits, as we rally 90 days before the most important election of our lifetime. History is ours for the making.

The RedState gathering is a big deal among the conservative glitterati, with the host committee for the conference including such big names as Hugh Hewitt, Katie Pavlich, and Erick Erickson. Also our favorite local carnival barker and radio host Peter Boyles, which proves they aren’t doing background checks.

And yes, folks, you’ll notice that their website’s splashy graphic of the Denver skyline does not have mountains found anywhere near Denver depicted in it. After some time spent looking closely, we think that’s the Sneffels Range located in the San Juan Mountains. If that’s right, we can at least congratulate RedState for Photoshopping in mountains that are actually located in the state of Colorado, which a lot of Republican campaigns have had trouble with over the years. With that said it’s a 325-mile drive from Denver to the Sneffels Wilderness, so this picture is as close as attendees are going to get.

Hopefully boring old Mount Evans isn’t too much of a letdown.

Ahh…you've seen one mountain, you've seen em' all…

BTW…It does look like the San Juans with Sneffels just to the right of the Republic tower and the "cash register building". It looks like the view from the pass over the Cimarron ridge between Storm King mountain and Waterdog peak.

I'll be there! Pay no attention to Colorado Pols, RedStaters, if the mountain thing is all they've got you know they've got nothing.

      Not if this RedState piece and the other one I linked to (scroll down a bit ) are any indication. Of course they too could cave, I suppose. McCain, the non-hero because he got captured, is offering to be Trump's foreign policy adviser. But here's what RedState said recently. Something about Vichy Republicans…

  literally thousands of pictures of the correct Denver skyline, and they had to create their own incorrect version? If you can't even do the knuckle head stuff right, what makes you think people will trust you do things of actual consequence correctly?
  
  That's the point that so easily breezed over your head there, Moddy.

    It's called art. Learn about it sometime. This is stupid.

  Just wondering, Modster. Do you side wih this Red State writer or with McConnell?
  
  Some conservatives are even urging the GOP to cut its losses and confirm Garland, a mostly middle-of-the-road U.S. court of appeals judge widely respected by members of both parties, rather than deal with a more liberal nominee if Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton trounces Trump in the fall.
  
  “Republicans must know that there is absolutely no chance that we will win the White House in 2016 now,” Leon H. Wolf wrote on the conservative website RedState. “They must also know that we are likely to lose the Senate as well. So the choices, essentially, are to confirm Garland and have another bite at the apple in a decade, or watch as President Clinton nominates someone who is radically more leftist and 10-15 years younger, and we are in no position to stop it.”
  
  Indeed, early presidential forecasts strongly favor Democrats. HuffPost Pollster’s polling average shows Trump losing to Clinton, 47 percent to 40 percent, in November. Trump would also be the least popular major party nominee in modern history.

  Nah, they taxidermied him and fitted him out with animatronics at least a decade ago.
