(Pay no attention to my talk-radio blowhard supporters – promoted by Colorado Pols)
National radio talker Hugh Hewitt, a member of GOP 4th Congressional District candidate Tom Lucero’s “finance team,” has emerged as a national spokesman for a conservative movement to boycott General Motors in an attempt to force a denationalization of the carmaker.
Lucero told me he agrees with Hewitt that the government takeover of GM and Chrysler was a bad thing, but he stops short of agreeing with this sentiment expressed by Hewitt:
“Buy Ford. Buy Toyota. Buy anything that isn’t owned and operated by the federal government. There are plenty of great cars out there. You don’t have to buy one that costs not just your cash, but also your commitment to free enterprise and all the benefits that flow from it.”
Lucero’s take: “In order for those companies to succeed, Americans are going to have to do business with those companies.”

Hewitt will be back in Colorado Friday for a Lucero fundraiser at Maggiano’s Little Italy on 18th Street in Denver. The invite bills Lucero as “Colorado’s Republican Candidate for Congress.”

Did Americans already boycott GM?
Them’s fightin’ words. I ‘xpect Mike Coffman and Doug Lamborn to hash this out with Lucero at 20 paces.
The gut conservative reaction seems to be to hope the country fails. That way, the republicans can “sweep in and rescue the real America”.
Hewitt actually would be ok with boycotting an American auto manufacturer, thus placing thousands of Americans’ jobs, homes, and family futures at hazard.
No outcry from republicans saying Hewitt’s wrong.
For 8 rotten years we watched uncle awol shred our constitution and bankrupt the country. But Democrats didn’t react the way the conservatives are behaving now.
I’m thinking republicans value their republican ideology more than the United States of America. If that’s the case, please take your ball and get tf out of my country…..and take your heroes hewitt, cunny bob, von brunn and roeder with you.
