The anti Tancredo thread..

[MarkCO]

Rand Paul is anything but open minded! Jimmy Carter was probably the most open minded president we have ever had, and probably one of the worst. It is NOT possible for a solid conservative, nor a solid liberal, to be open minded. Children (and 42% of Americans) are open minded and thus impressionable, politicians running for elected office are anything but on both sides of the aisle.

Americans have increasingly voted for the image, the "Hollywood Factor" sans substance, and we are where it has gotten us. You just want to polish it to fit your image of where it should be, however you are still heading down the exact same path that brought us liberalism.

Open minded in the political world does not mean open to orgys and pot dens. It means being able to come up with new political ideas that people simply can't say no to.

As for the "Hollywood Factor", it is what it is and apparently the republicans can't figure out how to play the game. The "Hollywood Factor" has always existed, hell people wanted to make George Washington King. Psychologically people are going to favor the good looking guy over the ugly guy when everything else is level and that relationship isn't going to change much even when you factor in positions. If you want to run an ugly guy you better have a platform that appeals heavily to at least 60% of the actual turn out voters if you want to go anywhere.

Tancrato got 45% of the vote and Maze got 10$ if he was running on the R ticket it would have been an easy win. I just want to hear what he's going to do about the gun laws that have been forced on us by our gun grabbing Governor? If its not a total repeal then he no better than Hickenlooper.

Only if you took the Bill Clinton course on English language obliteration. Then you stretch WAY beyond what I wrote. Open minded means no set conviction or opinion and willing to be influenced to arrive at an opinion or conclusion. Jurors are supposed to be open minded, leaders, NO WAY! You can't just change the meaning of a word or phrase because your post was ignorant of the actual definition. When you pass HS English, we can have a conversation.

def90, You're wrong.

Not sure where you got your numbers.. Final results, Tancredo = 36.8%, Maes 11.1%, Chickenlooper 50.7% If you look at the polling results they had Tancredo at 43-44% running up to the election so he actually did worse in the actual election vs the polling results.

You can if you're a liberal, they do it all the time.

def90, you're wrong.

Tom isn't the only guy to throw his hat the in the ring so we'll have other people to look at. I want someone who is willing to make the tough and unpopular decisions, someone who has courage in their convictions. An open-minded person isn't any of these things.

Hickenlooper is exactly what you def90 are looking for, a young, open-minded fop who refused to stand with the jury and judge in the Dunlap case. A coward who admits that the recent gun control legislation was stupid but put his own personal aspirations ahead of the citizens of this state.

That's the last numbers I heard before I tuned out completely.
Dickinpooper did do one thing right. He signed into law a revision of the Juvenile Expungement law that prevented all but the most privileged of people from sealing their records. But one right doesn't make up for 4 wrongs on the gun issue alone.
Go ahead and spread misinformation around if you want to. Liberals are the ones that are so naive as to believe something if it sounds good. Common sense be damned.
