Well the Fat Lady is warming up

Now I am hearing a sound bite on 850KOA of Maes comparing Tom Tancredo to Uncle Fester.

My wife and I will vote for tom. Maes is all ready a lying scumbag! The least he could do is wait till he is in office.

He might as well be a little billionaire with big ears. He's doing the same thing to this election that H. Ross Perot did to the country in 92 and 96. I liked Perot better than Bush 1, but he cost us 8 years of Clinton. Tancredo is handing us the state equivelent of B. Hussein Obama by running.

Tancredo is polling higher than Maes and will continue to do so, I suspect Maes will be in the single digits by mid-October. Maes needs to pull out.

The Colorado GOP brought this on itself by screwing around with candidates and not vetting people thoroughly enough.

^^^^ This, unfortunately I don't foresee it happening.

I really dislike what Tank did entering the race late in some off the wall party. But now he's running a scorched earth campaign. Calling Maes a liar.... its only helping Hickenpopper. But I'll probably end up voting for him.

You know Ronald I agree with you........but. I know theres always a but isn't there! I don't think that Tom brought this on Maes, I think had it been a two horse race just Hick and Maes this stuff (about Maes) would have come out anyway and I think everyone (hopefully) can agree on that, so that being assumed we have a badly beaten Republican candidate in November with no other choice and that I do not cherish the thought of, in fact the more this crap goes on with Maes the more I dislike him, I hope he crawls back under the rock he came from and stays there, hopefully soon so that we can rally behind Tancredo, let Tancredo's people dig into Hickenlooper and see what happens. When it all comes down to it I will stand beside the others in the gun culture long before I stand next to a politician, no matter how many times we disagree I know I am getting an honest statement from my brothers in arms, meanwhile it seems every politician talks from both sides of his head.

Completely true, but the end result is that Tank has effectively split the votes of the good guys up and made it impossible to get anyone worth a damn elected.

By the sounds of some of these posts, it appears that some would rather have someone like Maes who professes to be a conservative, but has no credentials to the matter and has some serious issues when it comes to ethics, honor and integrity JUST because he says he is a conservative.

The Republican party didn't vet him, there is no guarantee of his conservative credentials, but you call him a "good guy" only due to him being a republican.

In a two-way race, he wouldn't win because of his problems. In a three-way race with a known conservative, there may be a chance, if those who hang onto the republican flag would acknowledge that Tancredo is still a republican and does hold conservative values, but is just running in a way to be able to put someone in the office with conservative values. I would go as far to say that Tancredo changes his political party back to republican sometime after he is elected, if elected.

I was under the impression that they were talking about the conservative voters when they say the "good guys." Referring to the people who will just vote (R) down the line with zero consideration of who is representing the (R).
