Okay just Pete my bad. He tried passing the law that would've screwed workers on how that formed and joined unions. Shit that doesn't concern hm or a other fvckng law maker. [Bang]Quote:

The GOP had their ass handed to them and Coors went down in flames faster than a Pro-Choice candidate in the running for POPE.

Anybody with that much money, that didn't have to earn it the hard way, cannot possibly represent us in the plebeian classes.
He wouldn't have to steal off America and take lobby money like the rest of them... He's obviously running for the power... It goes without saying that he would probably want both anyhow...

Either way, he's going to be hard pressed to beat pearlmutter.
Clearly, but for the past 100 years or so it's been the lucky sperm club. I've got no problems with the Coors family or their capitalist roots.Quote:

No matter what you think of California politics- we watched as two very wealthy titans of Silicon Valley spent more (personal) money than most people can count, only to lose their elections. Let's keep that trend goign in Colorado this time- don't let the rich buy this election!Quote:

Yeah, but that won't get you anywhere because it doesn't fit the Marxist/Democrat/Union narrative that all rich people are out-of-touch evil white robber barons and capitalism is unfair (a lie that even people on the right seem to believe).Quote:

Aside from his fat wallet I just read about him here. Typical campaign fluff but it looks like he is focusing on some of the most important issues instead of gay- transgender- lesbian- african- hermaphrodite- hypenated-bastardizations of Americans.
Wow ... I hope that was sarcasm. NOBODY need's Perlmutter.Quote:

Joe Coors is a great guy. You can find him in King Soopers by himself buying something off the shelf.
He knows how to run a business. Businesses can't do deficit spending.
Permutter= socialist scumbag. I am hoping this dumb@ss will be replaced.
It was. Perlmutter was one of the only two of our wonderful congresspeople (the other being the Degette waste of oxygen) to actually campaign on a gun grab platform.
Even the jackholes in the Second district knew better.

Considering the fact that the Coors family no longer owns Coors (its actually owned by Molson ... yes Canadians ... they're generally a gay-friendly lot) I think the only Coors that is still involved in the company is Pete (who is chairman of MillerCoors, which is a subsidiary of Molson).Quote:
