Tom Tancredo to Run for Colorado Governor

[losttrail]

It will be interesting to see how the GOP receives him. Willthe GOP try to find someone that more fits the Coors profile or finally start listening to the people.

There are some fences to mend with the GOP. I think it is possible to fix them if all come to the table and act like grown ups. I think Tom would do his part in this process. There is too much "what about me" in conservative Colorado, to much butt hurt personal bickering is why we are getting our a$$es kicked. It is join or die time for us........hopefully our political talent pool is up to the task......I'm too old to move to Wyoming.

Sorry, I like Tom and his stances when he was in the House but I think he split the party and gave the governorship to Hickenlooper in 2010. I'd rather draft Terry Maketa so he can stick a big old veto pen in Mark "What Jessica's Law?" Ferrandino's eye.

You got it. I won't stop trying, but I'm sure it's a waste of time with the Repubs. Libertarian would probably be a smarter choice.

So you've thrown in the towel before the fights even started?

Libertarian would probably be a smarter choice.

Let's see. It's hard enough to elect a republican when half (approximately) the state is republican. And you think it's smarter to vote for a libertarian?

Yeah. We're fucked.

Heard on the radio this morning that Steve Laffey has put his paperwork in to run for the R ticket... It might be between these two in the primary, and I think Tancredo will get my vote.

He withdrew from the primary today.

I just knew if I said the dreaded "L" word somebody would get their panties in a wad. Yeah lets just stick with the same old tired BS that'll do it. I'm a staunch lifelong Repub but I'm sick of the lousy candidates, the left leaning go along policies, the general wishy washy crapola my party doles out. If there is not a major change, I'm gonna change and vote my for the person that is aligned with my ideals, and to hell with voting for "my" party. Party voting has not gotten us anywhere in at least 4 elections. Ok, flame on, I'm done.

I'd still like to see Terry Maketa run though I don't know much about him other than his stand on the recent gun control issues.

I think you said before that you're not on Facebook, but Sheriff Maketa's FB page has blown up over the past few months with hundreds of people BEGGING him to run for governor. It's a good sight to see.

This is where I'm at as well. I'd much rather a libertarian in charge philosophically, but it isn't going to happen and the libertarian party is still a joke: The party of pot and no license plates and whatever other goofy ideas.

Why can't the libertarians transform the GOP with the tea party types?
It worked for the radical left to hijack the democrat party.
