While I strongly disagree with Rhonda Fields politics, she has every right to become a politician, just as you or I do. Obviously, even being qualified to become POTUS is not that much of a challenge let alone a Colorado state senator.

Maybe she requires her bodyguards to use .38S&W because she may feel that the .38Spl could be more hurtful than that ancient old cartridge.... Ship her off to Chicago's Obamaland if she really wants to clean up some "gun violence".

He was a CSU college student who witnessed a suspect kill someone and was willing to testify against that person. He and his girlfriend were then killed by an associate of the original suspect. Both dirtbags are now on death row. She was in corporate America before that happened. She entered politics a couple of years after her son's death and after the trials. Could have been on the sympathy vote. She definitely has personal experience and an opinion on specific topics that many Coloradans have no clue about. She broke from her party and is a vocal death penalty advocate. Given her circumstances, I can understand why. I don't like her bills or her personal ideas that are behind those bills, but I don't see her as a typical politician.

Emotionally driven people do not belong in the legislation process. Facts and logic are needed.

I beg to differ. You'll always have emotional driven people, yes. But that doesn't mean you forget your duty to be responsible. Emotion can get a lot of things done. It's a big time motivator. But it's their duty to research, use critical thinking to form laws. Rise above the emotion to make sure you're not making knee jerk reactions. Isn't that what we expect out of any leader?

Expect yes, receive never.

Flip the coin. Ask a True Conservative about Abortion and the "emotion factor" takes over.

Touche, sir. It's just frustrating. Human nature is a powerful force.
