Bloomberg: Colorado Gun Recall Towns So Rural, They Don’t Have Roads

In what may come as a surprise to residents of Colorado Springs and Pueblo, former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg doesn’t think those cities have roads.

Bloomberg told Rolling Stone that he was “sorry” about the recalls of two state senators last year over the Democratic state legislature’s gun-control.

“Colorado Springs is the second largest city in Colorado, Mr. Mayor,” said Herpin. “and not only do we have plenty of roads, but we are also home to the United States Air Force Academy, the U.S. Olympic Training Center and Committee Headquarters (which moved here from New York City), major military commands, and many high tech and defense related companies.”

Maybe we should have Senators and Governors who represent us instead of representing back East billionaires who have never even been here. Just saying...

New York City doesn’t have roads, they have moving parking lots. Colorado has roads. NYC is nothing but a stinking bunghole of the US with about as much of a skyline as a train wreck. We have beautiful mountains and forests for views. Plus, our mayors don’t need 24x7 armed guards like he has.

The trick is convincing the Liberal Hordes in the cities that they don’t need us and would be better if they let us go.

And yes, it was quite the putdown

Back in the 1970s when I was a college freshman home for winter break, some friends and I piled into a car and drove straight through to New York City to play test some simulation games (the forerunner of X-Box and all that stuff). We were in a large room with mostly locals doing the same thing and they were astounded to discover we had driven in from Fargo, North Dakota.

These were some of the brightest young adults in New York. Many had never been outside of a 5 or 10 block radius of where they lived. One guy even bragged that he'd been all the way west to Buffalo.

We quickly discovered we had a gold mine of gullibility and started spinning tales about how we had to take the railroad to Minneapolis to rent a car for the rest of the trip. As they started eating things up, it escalated to stories about me no longer being able to earn decent summer money as an Indian scout because the Sioux weren't uprising anymore. Another guy in our group lamented that he'd lost his job driving stage now that the railroad had come through, but we were looking forward to a planned highway connection to Minneapolis-St.Paul so we wouldn't be stuck with the railroad schedule from now on.

Maybe one of Bloomberg's friends was in the room at the time . . .

My husband lived in Colorado for years before having to move back to MN to take care of parents. We got married and moved west but we stopped in SD for that very reason. The liberals trying to turn Colorado into California. I feel bad for you, I do.

“Bloomberg told Rolling Stone”

We used to live in Claremont Ca., and our son still lives in Santa Ana Ca. His friends, who have NEVER been to Texas, think it is hot and dry, horses everywhere, no roads, no tall buildings. I told him to show them photos of Houston and Dallas!

Those old westerns were filmed in California anyway! LOL

Bloomingidiot was casting aspersions on Colorado TEA partiers who ran the successful recalls.

Many of the best westerns were filmed in Monument Valley.
