Is it too soon? Maes needs to get out!

[trlcavscout]

I've thought about this for a little while now and originally I was going to hold my nose and pull the 'R' lever, but now...I'll vote my conscience and go with Tandredo.

I know this will mean that Hick will win, but I'm in agreement that at least the R's will pick up seats in the House and Senate and the damage will be minimal.

I can only hope that the Repub's will embrace and endorse a worthy candidate, a good candidate and not one who is just a party loyal and it is "their time, their turn" type of candidate like McInnis.

We havent had a "worthy" candidate in years! These sorry sons a bitches should all be on the cheese line. It is a hell of a mess we have here, I would vote R before I would vote for hicky but I am having a hard time voteing for anybody. Two and out should apply to all elected positions and I would vote for the guy running the taco stand down town before I would vote for most of these stupid pricks! I think instead of voteing for either of these dumb ass's I should just move out of state, no matter who wins CO is'nt looking good.

How on God's green earth is voting for Tancredo a "good conscience" vote?

The man demanded that our tax dollars be given to him to make up for his losses in the Madoff scam (sound pretty typical democrat to me) and he got into the race gov's guaranteeing Hickenlooper will win.

He doesn't give a damn about the people of Colorado, he only cares about his own goddamn ego (and I'm still not convinced the rich liberals that turned Colorado blue didn't pay him to enter the race).

Tancredo is a snake ... Maes may not be perfect, but he's a damn sight better than Hickenlooper (hell, my dog would be better than Hickenlooper...hell the stuff my dog leaves in the back yard would be better than Hickenlooper).

Oh well, conservatives, libertarians, the tea party folk and the GOP are going to get in a stupid pissing contest and keep Colorado under Demonrat control so welcome to East Fucking California folk.

Utah is looking better and better every day.

I didn't say "good conscience"; I said I'd vote my conscience.

We'll have to disagree on Maes and if interested, you can see my earlier posts on my reasons why. Maes is a outright liar, doesn't understand the state government at all, hides contributions, fails to comply with state election rules on a regular basis and paid a number of different fines on different occasions, has a thin resume and exaggerates it.

Tancredo isn't the best person for the republican ticket, I agree. However, I can't vote for Maes and I can't vote for Hickenlooper. So if I wish to exercise my voting right, it will be for Tancredo.

[Zundfolge]

We'll just have to agree to disagree.

My thinking is that no matter how bad Maes is, Hickenlooper is worse.

I know you don't expect Tancredo to win, but I think he's significantly less honest than Maes.

The more important thing is for the Dems to lose the house and the senate ... but with Hickenlooper in the veto seat that will mean that we won't be able to roll back much of what the Dems have done.

We can agree to disagree I don't expect Tancredo to win, but I can't vote for a person like Maes. I just can't. We can disagree on who is worse.

I agree that it is important for the republicans pick up seats in the House and Senate and while there may not be enough this time around to be able to get legislation through and override a veto, 2012 may bring more.

It seems to me that the discussion has shifted to "if Hick gets elected no matter what, then I'll throw my vote to Tancredo". That, of course, is fine, but in the end you are only doing exactly what the left wants you to do, give up all hope that your guy gets elected and then vote your "conscience" instead of the party line. I'm not saying you are wrong for it, but that is playing into the left's plan.

Do you know how many people just didn't vote at all because they thought McCain had no chance in hell? A lot.

[OneGuy67]

Maybe so, Ranger. I don't believe Tancredo is a leftist conspiracy. I do not believe that voting for whatever train wreck the republicans endorse no matter what is the best thing for our state. I don't vote party line.

I'll tell you a story on that subject. I was in Iraq the last election and my buddy and I received our mail in ballots the same day. We went back to our hooches and I got online, read the blue book, researched the candidates, issues and ballot propositions and after 3 hours had completed my ballot. I ran into my buddy and asked him if he finished his ballot and he told me he did over 2 hours ago. I asked him how he finished so quickly and did he even review the issues and he flatly told me he went to the republican website and filled it out based upon what the republican party recommended.

I don't necessarily believe that Tancredo is a lib plant - while I think it's possible, it's not really plausible. I'm not quite THAT tin-hat but leave a little bit of foil over just in case .

I've made the party argument enough already in regards to this race, so we'll agree to disagree on that. If about 2 million others felt the same about Tancredo then we wouldn't have to worry about Hick, but I think Tancredo AND Maes need to step out of the race and give us a shot of turning this blue state red again.

On that point my gun totin' friend, we can agree!

[roberth]

Tom said he would step out if Maes steps out but it may be too late now.

Poundstone / Boyles have Maes by the short curlies. Maes is a con and he conned me. I'm still happy the establishment candidate (McInnis) is out but I am pissed at Maes.

I don't know if the ballots are printed yet, they have to get printed so our soldiers can get them and return in time for the election.

We're running out of time and the Republicans are running out of time to replace Maes.

Hickenlooper is a POS, he is a crap mayor and he'll be a horrible governor.
