Hudak Resigning

[Brian]

......I guess the statistics weren't on her side.

She'll termlimit out and being greedy will run for some other position.

Then we take our pound of flesh. This is Chess, not Checkers.

Agreed, but we need to consider that the other side may be wanting us to think they're playing checkers while they're actually playing chess. We can't allow ourselves to be misled into complacency - while we don't have to make any moves yet, we need to be planning our next several moves (2014 & 2016 elections) as this is exactly what the other side has been doing for the last 20 years.

Keep in mind that a good strategy in chess is to intentionally sacrifice a pawn in order to get the other side to expose themselves to you so they can use a stronger piece to win the game. If we watch for it & plan accordingly we can defeat them. But, we need to stop with our political infighting and get the best players in the game.

The days of mediocre candidates like McCain & Romney as well as our legislative choices need to end or we have no chance at all.

We need to develop short lists of exactly what we want and what we don't want in our candidate choices. If we choose a pro-2A candidate that also supports "immigration reform" (aka amnesty), in the long game we still lose.

It make sense, the liberals are conditioned to think DC has all the rage now, states are nothing, unless you are CA or New Yuck.

This is what these libtards gets it wrong.
It is Colorado citizen who wanted her out, because State Senator doesn't listen to the people she represents.
So, people reach out with donations and recall campaign to get the senator out of the office.

Libtards favorite key word: "gun lobbyist from Washington"

Hand picked by the Dems

Just a different flavor of Kool-Aid

Yes.

Can we please chose Eisenhower style conservatives and leave the social issues in the trash? The anti gay agenda is what cost the GOP elections in Co. I am sure many of you don't agree, but that is my wish.

Her outward appearance is probably what's most responsible for her treatment of Amanda Collins during the testimony. You put a pretty girl next to one that's not so, "stunning" , well they turn into real monsters alot of times.

You do have a point. The problem with republicans is they tend to take the "freedom and liberty stance" in most issues except when it comes to who you want to marry and if you want to smoke weed or not.

The democrats tend to represent authoritarian ideas except when it comes to who you want to marry and if you want to smoke weed or not.



My take on it is if your going to stand for freedom then it needs to be across the board. Not just with taxes, mandates, and guns.

From Mayors Against Illegal Guns

"Sen. Hudak has shown remarkable courage by choosing to resign. She has refused to let the Washington gun lobby force Coloradans into another costly recall election that would burden CO taxpayers. Instead, she has decided to protect Colorado's strong new public safety laws -- and force the radical minority who oppose common-sense gun laws to go toe-to-toe with candidates on Election Day who will continue the fight to keep our communities safe from gun violence."

Well, it's refreshing to know that WE THE PEOPLE of a small Senate district and grass roots organizers have as much clout as "the Washington Gun Lobby"......

Take a well deserved bow ladies and gents for a job well done!

And yes, the GOP would be wise to stay out of the bedroom, the wallet and the ladies crotches.
I think if they did this they would be surprised at what they could accomplish.

I for one will agree with you. I have said it before that I never understood why this has to be such a big issue.

We have a winner IMO.
