ELECTION 2014 - Merged Threads

[KestrelBike]

So, you get a chip on your shoulder for voting for your guy, while in fact, guaranteeing a win for "moonbat socialism" every go around if your "wish" is granted. I live in a place called REALITY. I don't chase dreams that are utopic, unfounded in reality or logic. A "third" party candidate is that utopic, illogical, unrealistic dream. The reality is, if you ever get it, you've succeeded in shooting yourself in the foot, nothing more.

Work to get who you want nominated. Quit bitching and talking about a happy perfect word where food grows itself, money rains from the sky, and third party candidates can be elected.

That is all.

Thor's hammer right here. thank you for taking the time to articulate it.

Just disallow anyone who is not a net-payer of taxes from voting.
They should not get a say in how taxes are spent.
Want to vote? Get a job, get off welfare, and go vote.
Problem solved.

Then he can veto enough bills to get himself recalled. and with the race as close as it is now I think that is a good possibility if he starts doing things that Coloradoans dislike.

The guy should be recalled for all the no bid contracts coming out of OIT costing the state millions of dollars. What he is doing there is criminal; nothing more then a money laundering organization.

Now some stations are reporting that the senate swap may be in question.

Who knows...

One principle that seems to hold true is that the longer time an election or recall drags out, the more D ballots seem to be magically "found".

I truly believe that nobody on public assistance should vote; it is a conflict of interest at best.

space saving measure...read above

Seeing as how you are clearly pissed at anyone who may have, in your mind, cost Beauprez the election by voting 3rd party AND you have the power to ban people...I am going to attempt to tread lightly in my response.

You do a couple of things in your post that are bothersome...you attempt to make anyone that disagrees with your post as unintelligent which is page 1 column 1 out of the Democrat playbook. You also insinuate that 3rd party voters are lazy because they support a 3rd party candidate as well as accusing them of not working towards change inside the Republican party. I have to disagree on both counts because you cast a wide net with those two points and they are almost completely inaccurate when it comes to any 3rd party supporter that I've ever met.

The lazy, utopian type people you speak of are the occupy wall street people. Jobless, helpless and anarchist. 3rd party supporters that I've come across are thoughtful, intelligent, generous people who want nothing but the best for this country. You may be upset with the amount of votes that Hess, Hempy, Dunafon and Fiorino recieved...but what I see when I look at the polls is 85,578 people (as it stands currently) in this state who had the courage to stand up and say "Hickenlooper or Beauprez...this isn't good enough for us". If you really want to be pissed at someone today, Beauprez is the man you should be pissed at. If Beauprez ran a campaign instead of (I think it was Jer that said this) "I'm not him (Hick), so vote for me!" then he could have earned some of those 85,000+ votes. He didn't, and that's why he lost.

In short, agree to disagree

Your damn skippy it does. I like being on here because I like talking about this kind of stuff. Only an idiot would bitch out a mod on a day like today after a post like he posted. I let em swing all the time pal...but i don't let them get caught in a door. You only do that one time, and once is enough.
