The Colorado Political Debate…

Liberals and the left keep wondering why conservatives keep winning this election cycle even when underfunded. Here is a prime example taken from those liberal “thinkers” over at ColoradoPols website:

The emphasis is mine on the level of debate amongst the elite over at the Pols:

"We love that last quote from 9-12 Project Leader Lu Busse that they might
want to "change their tactics" to include more fundraising. Whatever gave you
that idea? Who gave up the secret that you can't win elections with just "Don't
Tread on Me" flags and message boards?" (feel the elitism in this coment?)

"Do Republicans tow cows to the Tea Party because the Tea Party is a bunch
of cow-tipping idiots? I can live with that;-)" (nice original name calling)

"I wouldn't want to try and tip over any of their wives. You could pull
a muscle trying those pranks." (respect for others; a true liberal value!)

"YOU AINT GOT NO STEENKING head to head.
You got the Tank vs. the Tin Foil Man splitting the nut job vote, leaving the
real world residents voting for Hick. Furthermore, the Tank just shored up his
right flank by adding Pat Miller, the one person in Colorado who makes Maes look
reasonable, to his ticket. That means Maes doesn't dare move to the center, as
he tried to do with the Tambourine Girl, because he'd alienate the Whack Job
Right that is his only base. I can see those Blue Helmets marching down
Broadway today." (stereo types and generalizations? I thought that was a whack job right virtue?)

These are the “analysts” and political “insiders” that the people are finally sick of. They have an elitist attitude that spews hatred for people opposed to their views. I am glad they think they have this election all wrapped up in their minds, but they are what is wrong with the political process.

I am so glad they ignore me and my political opinions, but it will be fun to watch them scratch their heads when even without money, conservatives keep winning elections. Not because of any particular candidate’s charisma, but the total rejection of the left’s agenda…

The Huffington Post should be proud of this group of left leaning intellects…

Bennett Campaign; Betting on Constitutional Ignorance…

I was amazed to see the first campaign ad against the next senator from Colorado Ken Buck focusing on “Ken Buck wants to take away your right to vote for Senator” as if he can do that on his own. It rings so hollow, and if this is what the Bennett Campaign is using as their opening salvo, they are in big trouble.

What they are referring to is the Seventeenth Amendment to the constitution which changed the election of federal senators from a state legislature responsibility to a vote of the citizenry. I can sense you are already bored as will be the voters of Colorado. Not that the issue is not an important one but it is such a stretch to use such a “complex” concept in such a disingenuous manner it is a waste of time.

We who support the Tenth Amendment also understand that the reason there is a movement to change or rescind the Seventeenth Amendment is to have our federal senators more responsive to state needs rather than special interests in Washington DC. If the senate was elected by state legislatures they would be more in touch with the issues of the states. State legislatures would also have a greater say at the federal level. It is a strong and solid argument.

The reality is it will take a constitutional amendment to do this. Ken Buck isn’t against citizens voting for the senate, he is for making the senate more accountable to the citizens in the states. And that’s good for America.

I shared the stage with Ken Buck at the 2010 Debate and he was charismatic and in control of the issues. This compared to a very uninspiring Bennett. The democrats are in big trouble from a charisma perspective. Bennett will put most voters to sleep, and if this issue is what the Bennett campaign hopes to ignite the electorate with; well, congratulations Senator Buck…
