The NRA won in CO. Fight back!

Well, apparently not enough people cared to pay attention to the right-wing schemes in Colorado.

State Senators John Morse and Angela Giron were defeated after only the conservative minority showed up and voted them out.

Shame to the democrats who stayed home, thinking it was an easy win and nothing mattered after 2012.

Shame on the NRA for brainwashing Colorado people into supporting the repeal of gun control and allow more shootings to occur. They collected signatures of the deceased for their recall petitions, but no action was taken to investigate.

Colorado has been plagued by too many massacres at the hands of gun nuts and the criminally insane. People need to wake up and realize that republicans need to be called out and ousted for their corruption. You must stop being weak and apathetic.

If you know a republican, sever relations with them. They are the enemy. If a republican calls you a commie, call them a fascist.

If you learn that a company bankrolls republicans or a conservative lobbying effort, boycott them. I am sure there are still liberals out there who still by products from Koch Industries.

If you see a tea party rally, document it with a camera. Report any supicious behavior. If they harass you for doing so, call the police. The tea party needs to be recognized as a terrorist group, just like the Ku Klux Klan or the Aryan Brotherhood. I also recommend carrying pepper spray or a taser if they get physical with you.


We must take this defeat as a sobering slap to the face. We need to wake up, stay vigilant, and get the vote out, now matter what.

Whether it is a midterm election or a recall election, treat it as if your rights depended on it, because they do.

Stay alert, stay active.

1. NRA etc. raised only $540,000. Opponents of the recall spent $3,000,000. Hmmm.

Maybe, just maybe, the voters didn't support the way the legislators legislated.

Outside money shows national interest in Colorado recall elections

Colorado state Sens. Angela Giron and John Morse face recall elections on Tuesday. ((Associated Press and Denver Post file photos))

Colorado's first-ever recall elections of state lawmakers have amassed about $3.5 million from donors both near and far, with those vying to defend the incumbents up for election Tuesday significantly outraising the opposition.

A Denver Post review of finance reports from the 10 active issue committees involved in the recalls of Senate President John Morse of Colorado Springs and Sen. Angela Giron of Pueblo found some donors contributing as little as $1 to as much as six figures.

The committees accepted unrestricted amounts of cash from thousands of individuals and dozens of nonprofit 501(c)(4)s, which do not have to disclose donors, according to the Colorado secretary of state.

Proponents of the recall have raised about $540,000, while opponents have collected nearly $3 million. Much of the cash has come from out of state — a sign of the national significance these recalls have.

2. Turnout was very high.

Anti-recall forces outspent recall forces 5 to 1.
Explain these loses to me.
Seems like it's a lot more than the NRA.

6. They HAD their chance to "fight back" and BLEW IT ! As in 2010, they SCREWED THEMSELVES.

Dems could have easily defeated those recalls. What the hell ???? They sat on their asses. Simple as that. No excuses. Now let the NRA lick their chops and **** the people. And they DESERVE IT ! They sat on their asses and didn't vote. TOUGH LUCK ! If you don't like NRA TeaPuke radicals running the government, the VOTE, and don't make excuses.

7. Where the hell was the national DNC to help get out the vote

Debbie Wassermann Schultz is one of the worst DNC Chair persons to have every sat in that position.We need Dean back but of coarse Obama wouldn't pick him because he's a progressive.

Their pain is a wonderful thing to wake up to this morning.

[Karin]

Yes, I'm sitting here with a smile on my face.  And look at all the money those rich donor libs wasted!  Six figures at a pop?  Gone. 

I still remember that state legislator, forget his name though, didn't want the gals to have guns, because they might get flustered and confused and shoot someone.  Asshole.

One of the senators recalled--the woman--was from one of the bluest parts of Denver.

Too bad for the primitives.

Uh, coach, the female (Giron) was from Pueblo, methinks?  Nowhere near Denver.  But in any event, it's still good they're gone.  However, the laws they passed still remain, and much is to be done.

[Ptarmigan]

Good to hear this.  

[67 Rover]

There was speculation last night that one of the remaining Dem senators was going to flip to Republican and give the republicans the majority in the Senate. We shall see, but that would be the icing on the cake.

I am very tired but it was worth it to stay up most of the night watching the returns come in.  In the concession speeches not a one acknowledged why they were being recalled.

I erred; I was too excited and read too fast.

But at any rate, she's from a deep blue area.

That's awesome news! I guess politicians need to start distancing themselves from Bloomberg. They need to chill-out and have a Big Gulp.

[Wineslob]

Don't you just love how they think they are assured of victory. When it doesn't happen.................






Hey DUMMIES................

Colorado recall votes bode ill for 2014 and 2016.
The public has accepted the RW as legit and we still think they are just the a fringe group.

The election map will have very few blue states for the next 12 yrs.

1. Too Many Blue Collar Workers Are Racists And Bigots. They Vote GOP And Their Bible And Their Gun

I don't care if they lose their jobs and work for crap wages and their children go hungry. They damn well deserve it and I certainly would never lift a finger to help them in a time of crisis. Why. Because they would never help me.

We are truly a sick and screwed up nation. I wish I could take my two years of my life back from being in service. We deserve all the evil we get. 

Isn't that charming?  Bless his heart.

Lots of squabbling over this subject, as expected.  Any peep that you might be a dem who doesn't abhore guns, and they scream "REPUKE!  TEABAGGER!  RETHUG!  ENJOY YOUR STAY!  CONCERN NOTED!"

TheMasterbater forgets a simple fact. Most union workers are blue collar workers. A lot of democrats are gun owners and they put their 2A rights above the party line.

Half of Colorado is mountains, they have a lot of military and shale oil.   

In northeastern Colorado, eight counties are moving forward with a ballot initiative to secede and create a new state called Northern Colorado. The movement began at the end of Colorado’s latest legislative session, when the Democratically controlled legislature passed bills unpopular in the more rural eastern part of the state. None was more divisive than Senate Bill 252, which required electric co-ops to double the amount of energy they get from renewable resources by 2020. Republicans vigorously opposed the bill, arguing it would raise rural electricity rates, hurting farmers and ranchers. The bill passed the state senate by one vote and became law earlier this year.

Well boo ****ing hoo. Suck it long, suck it hard, asshole.

Someone pointed out to the masterbator that down at the union hall, they don't much care for gun control laws. 
I love it when the "liberal" values fold in on themselves.

I would think that a certain kind of feminist wouldn't much care for the patronizing attitude that so many of them displayed, thinking that chicks can't handle guns.  Getting raped?  Pee or poop on yourself!  That's the ticket.
