How so? We really haven't seen him really "govern" Denver, just run it like a business - and not that well either.Originally Posted by MB888

The fact that he runs the City based on his personal belief and plays favoritism are two major red flags for me.
My bone with him...
1. He is a staunch anti gun promoter. He is active in Mayors against guns.
2. He is heavily promoting 'Greenprint Denver' as part of Mayors climate protection group which is nothing more than advancing Kyoto protocol agreement on city level.
3. He is actively pushing 10 year homeless plan which is heavily corrupted and pushing the needy out of denver into the surrounding area.
4. Finally, his favoritism did go overboard by letting DNC delegations to purchase city owned gas at 30-40% off street value.
If you are a business owner located in Denver, you would know exactly what's going on. Obviously, all of his programs are paid for by taxing the businesses and just happen most of those are small businesses who are barely surviving in this economy.
And as far as the noble idea of eliminating homelessness? The real homeless are still homeless. My section 8 rentals are filled with city workers who makes decent money and gets GREAT benefits including getting approved for section 8 free rent I suppose.
Man that's some scary stuff. I don't know much about how Hick runs Denver because I used to stay the hell away from there. All I know is that if he's the Governor we're going to need to have the House and the Senate. House looks almost probable and the Senate is a maybe.
No anti-gun laws in Denver??
You must be jocking!
How about the assault weapon ban still enforced in Denver Co (no magazines over 20 rnds), or denying the right to open carry?
STILL enforced is not the same to me as a new law. I agree with the rant, totally.No anti-gun laws in Denver??

I am a business owner, I have four of them here in Denver proper. I feel the heat of having Hick in office, but to say he's any worse than Ritter - well that is what I was debating - I don't want him in office but I think they both have issues. Ritter nearly bankrupted this state with his clean energy programs and now nearly all of them sit half finished because of lack of funds. And while you may think Hick is anti gun (something everyone seems to say about every opposing candidate), he has not - to my knowledge - done anything to support that belief as CCW licenses have gotten easier to get in Denver and he's not passed any crazy anti-gun law in Denver. Right now DEMS are becoming very pro-gun (reference recent news) as they see any efforts to do otherwise get defeated by the supreme court. The NRA is endorsing more and more democratic candidates as this trend continues and, lets face it, Colorado has been and will continue to be a very gun oriented state, it would take a lot of effort to change that and he would risk re-election.
So, all I'm saying is that Ritter sucks, Hick suck the same or slightly less and the only real thing we can hope for would be a win in the state congress.

This doesn't carry much weight considering their actions over the past few years. They made a sweetheart deal with Dems on the DISCLOSE Act probably in trade for endorsements. Not to derail this thread but the NRA is a joke. And this is coming from a Life Member.
