Boy do we have a group of clowns running for Colorado seats. It seems we have dug down under as many rocks as possible for our wonderful lineup. Of course, I am speaking of the Teapublicans that are running for office.
1st we have Bob Beauprez who was one of those unethical bankers whose bank failed but of course he got his money out of it first. A man that had his hand in on economic destruction. He is running for governor against Governor Hickenlooper. Now I don't agree with everything that Gov. Hickenlooper has done but by and large he has been a good governor who stood strong during our recent disasters of wildfires and floods. Our economy is in good shape and Colorado has been a job leader under his governing. Beauprez would go the same way as Brownback in Kansas. Give it all to the rich and to hell with the rest of us.
Next we have Corey Gardner. Sponsoring the personhood laws. Funded by the Kochs and the NRA. All his ads are full of lies and inaccuracies. He is trying to make nice by saying we should have OTC birth control. How irresponsible? These are medicines that can be deadly if given to the wrong person. Women need to consult with their doctors in order to get the right one for them. He loves his fracking. He is a climate change denier. He wants to take away our health insurance and get rid of the Affordable care act. Another one that works for the rich and to hell with everyone else.
Against him is Mark Udall. Mark has stood for the people. He backed the ACA. He backed laws to protect the environment. He has stood for women's rights to choose. He has stood for protecting Medicare and Social Security. One of Gardner's ads says that Udall votes often with Pres. Obama, as if that is a bad thing.
Then in the Tea Party mecca of Colorado Springs we have good old Doug Lambourn. The man who decided to call up our generals, trying to get them to quit to, of course, because OBAMA. How inappropriate his behavior is considering we are again at war. Of course, now he has backtracked but if his behavior was not treasonous, it was irresponsible and insulting to our military as well as disrespectful to them and the president. He is Teapublican all the way. Nuff said.
He is running against Irv Halter, a decorated veteran. I am not at all excited about Irv's 2nd amendment stance but he "sounds like he has got to be better than Lambourn in many ways. Fortunately I do not have to vote in the particular election. Colorado Springs is a real mess. A bad sheriff, bad mayor, a bad fire chief who has quit, finally. Home of Focus on the Family and has had so many scandals this year that there are too many to count.
The Teapublicans are unethical liars and cheat and manipulate wherever they can. They are disrespectful to President Obama. They know they can"t win on their merits so they try cheating by backing voter laws that would restrict democrats from voting. They keep beating dead horses for their platforms because they really do not have platforms. They are out to make a buck from the Kochs by being their little puppets. Whatever happened to ethics and morals with these guys.
Their "Christian values" are false Christian values or they would be backing raising the minimum wage. They would not be taking food out of people's mouths. They would be backing environmental laws as good stewardship of the earth. The would back the ACA to protect their constituents' health. They would back rebuilding the infrastructure of highways and bridges to add more jobs and protect people's safety. They would be willing to put through good legislation so that guns do not end up in the wrong people's hands. They would not preach hate and racism. They would not lie and cheat. But hey, all they are interested in is themselves because Ayn Rand.
