Trouble where the columbine blooms. "Someone forgot to explain to the Colorado voters how popular gun control laws are!"
The bison is gone from the upland,
the deer from the canyon has fled,
The home of the wolf is deserted,
the antelope moans for his dead,
The war whoop re-echoes no longer,
the Indian's only a name,
And the nymphs of the grove in their loneliness rove,
but the columbine blooms just the same. -- Where the Columbines Grow, Colorado state song by A.J. Fynn.
From a faithful reader:
Cook Political Report Upgrades Gov Race from Likely D to Leans D
"Hickenlooper's re-election position has now been downgraded from likely to only leaning Dem by the Cook Political Report - only one step above a tossup. And this is against a guy who lost by 17 points in a statewide race in 2006!"
Q-PAC POLL TIED: Udall Spends Half His Cash…for Nothing (Because Gardner Is Really Ahead)
"Senator Udall is now down two points in this poll released yesterday despite spending seven million dollars on his campaign so far. This race has been moved from leaning Dem to a pure tossup by Cook."
Udall Down Four, Down Ticket All Red
"And another poll released today has Udall down four. What could possibly be causing this when last year it appeared as if Udall and Hickenlooper would have easy wins? In late April, an extensive poll was done and the CO public opposed the new gun control laws by 17 points:"
Poll from April.
"Someone forgot to explain to the Colorado voters how popular gun control laws are!"

And....you're assuming that the Republicans are really different than the Dumocreeps. Just look at McShame, Grahmnasty, Boner, Cantor aka: Can't win, Ryan the Weasel Bastard and many more just like them. Both of these parties make lots of noise about protecting our rights and then walk hand-in-hand tearing this country down with their lies and power grabs. The only thing that they are really good for is compost fertilizer.
Who said anything about thinking the GOP is better? The point of this is to put the fear of God Almighty into these sociopaths. When they are scared of an issue like guns, they won't touch it. That is basically how the Dems were until Newtown from the 2000 election until the end of 2012.
We can't count on getting good people in congress at all, so our next best bet is to scare them into leaving gun rights alone.
Nothing else is like losing votes or losing an election to concentrate a politician's mind ... and radical change of stated policies.
Of course, once they get elected their true natures are once again exposed.
Power attracts the corruptible. Absolute power attracts the absolutely corruptible. This is the danger of an entrenched bureaucracy to it's subject population.
We are begining to understand that mere voting does not change anything of importance to the politician.

Voting does not really work in the long run, but the one and only purpose it serves is to put short term fear into politicians. One recent example is the report about how most of the GOP members in the House were going to go along with amnesty until cantor lost his primary race.
Fear is really all we have until enough kids can be home schooled and exposed to the truth, or until the economy collapses and all hell breaks loose.
In my lifetime, the only two politicians I have ever 100 percent trusted are pat Buchanan and Ron Paul. That's it - so we aren't going to win this with politicians, but with intimidation and fear.
