Who is Diana Louise DeGette?
The Virginian ^ | 4/6/2013 | Moneyrunner

Posted on 04/06/2013 5:29:35 AM PDT by moneyrunner

She’s best known as a fanatic gun grabber and the Congresswoman from Colorado’s First District. She came to public attention when she made it crystal clear that the only thing she knew about guns was that she wanted to ban them. She believes gun magazines (the part that holds the bullets) are used up and thrown away once the bullets are shot.

In a recent public forum she smirked and told a retiree that he shouldn’t worry about defending himself because if he were attacked he should depend on the Denver cops (approximate wait time 17 minutes) and besides, he’s probably going to be dead anyway.

Let’s find out a little more about this live political hand grenade.

She’s married to a “Super Lawyer” named Lino S. Lipinsky de Orlov according to his listing at his law firm McKenna Long & Aldridge. Between them they own two homes, one in Colorado and one in Washington DC. Both have first and second mortgages somewhere between $465,000 and $1,050,000.

Other than two homes and big mortgages, she reported that she and her husband have investment assets between $823,000 and $2,095,000. So let’s call them millionaires. The couple add somewhere between $34,000 and $335,000 each year to their investments.

Note that thanks the very fuzzy disclosure requirements for members of Congress, it’s very hard to get a precise fix on just how rich these people are. Suffice it to say, they are among what the Occupy Movement would call the “1%.”

She gets nearly 90% of her campaign contributions from PACs and large contributors. We will be looking into Diana more in the future. Any of her constituents are free to post comments.

It’s safe to say that she’s lived a sheltered life. She probably knows next to nothing about the maintenance required for her car. She probably has no concept of how farm agriculture products get from the farm, to her grocery. I doubt if she grasps any of the bits and pieces of a business and how it prospers or fails. You can figure there are thousands of them in politics and they mostly just fake voters into voting for them.

Frankly, it reminds me of the movie “Being There”, with Chancey.

I would like to hear from people who may have met her or know her personally. From the vidoe clips I have seen of her she is snide and arrogant as well as stupid.

DeGette’s sister used to report for the liberal rag, the Colorado Springs Independent.

The name of the paper always brought a chuckle out of me, because the people who read that paper swooned over dependence from government.

I’m sure that she knows one rule exceptionally well:

Tax the people who don’t vote for you and give the money to those who do.

every democrat including this diana Degette, Pelosi, Obama , frankenfienstien, Reid, the news anchors etc, are the enemy of freedom. all they do is fight for increasing government power and the corresponding decrease in individual rights and freedom that brings. don’t these idiot democrats realize that they are an individual too and that they are lessening their own rights as they empower stupid government?

No. Because they all believe that the rules don’t apply to them. As Hillary said, “ We know what’s best for you”

There is definitely a pattern emerging: DeGette, Feinstein, Boxer, Lee, Wasserman-Schultz, Corinne Brown, Clinton, Napolitano, Sebillious, and the homosexuals Frank and Obama.

I believe that they are one and the same. Apparently she has a brain dead twin in kali by the name of nancy skinner from berkeley. She would like to ban the manufacture, import and sale of weapons that fire 10 bullets at a time. Gotta get me one of those 10 barreled guns.

Laws? Laws are for the little people, serf. Pay my taxes, comrade and leave your gun with the TSA peon at the door. Enjoy your bark soup.

Married to a super Lawyer.

Well, surprise, surprise. I wonder what his superpower is. Insufferable douchebaggery and overbearing entitledness?

Re Colorado assault on “assault weapons”
It would be helpful if a nationally syndicated talkie with outlets that are in or go into Colorado would grab all those silly audio sound bites comming out of these dumb Demo-Com Colorado legislators and expose them. Not only audio but if they have the “optics” put them on U tube as well as assemble a print presentation.

HOW TO CALL THE POLICE WHEN YOU WANT RESULTS

George Phillips, an elderly man, from Meridian, Mississippi, was going up to bed, when his wife told him that he’d left the light on in the garden shed, which she could see from the bedroom window. George opened the back door to go turn off the light, but saw that there were people in the shed stealing things.

He phoned the police, who asked “Is someone in your house?”

He said “No,” but some people are breaking into my garden shed and stealing from me.

Then the police dispatcher said “All patrols are busy. You should lock your doors and an officer will be along when one is available.”

George said, “Okay.”

He hung up the phone and counted to 30.

Then he phoned the police again.

“Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people stealing things from my shed. Well, you don’t have to worry about them now because I just shot them.” and he hung up.

Within five minutes, six Police Cars, a SWAT Team, a Helicopter, two Fire Trucks, a Paramedic, and an Ambulance showed up at the Phillips’ residence, and caught the burglars red-handed.

One of the Policemen said to George, “I thought you said that you’d shot them!”

George said, “I thought you said there was nobody available!”

You know you are living in a collapsing republic when “snide, arrogant and stupid” people in government represent the rule and not the exception.
