You didn't give us the numbers, what are they?
Yeah. The local GOP should be grovelling at Tom’s feet about now. Bummer...
Not quite. John Hickenlooper's cousin Bourke B. Hickenlooper (R-Iowa) was elected to the US Senate in 1944 and soon joined a coalition of hard-core conservative Republicans who resisted New Dealism and internationalist schemes and strongly opposed Communism during the 1940's and 1950's. The group included Bill Knowland (R-Calif.), Styles Bridges (R-NH), Joseph R. McCarthy (R-Wisc.), George Malone (R-Nev.), Kenneth Wherry (R-Neb.), William E. Jenner (R-Ind.), Barry Goldwater (R-Ariz.) and two Ohioans, Robert A. Taft and John Bricker. Maverick Democrat Pat McCarran (D-Nev.) may also be said to be part of this group.
Hickenlooper left the Senate in 1969, long after the others in this group had departed--although Goldwater returned to the body that year.
Thanks for the clarification. I didn’t know they were related. Too bad John H. didn’t spend more time with his cousin...
a stupid move. welcome to the californication of a once great state ruled by hickenlooper and his far left sanctuary state polices. he cares as much contempt for colorado citizens as zero does for american citizens.
Ain't that the truth!
The Real Republicans I guess we could call them. Obviously, Cuz Hickenlooper in Denver is a baby boomer parroting all the boomer shibboleths, in contravention to the parent's generation.
Sort of defines modern Democrats: immature Boomer brats.
Indeed, there was. During the 1960's and 1970's, California, most notably its southern region, was a hotbed of conservatism. Reps. Glen Lipscomb, James Utt, and John Rousselot, all from Southern California, were among the most conservative members of Congress in the 1960's, and from the mid-'70's to the mid-90's, fiery "B-1 Bob" Dornan represented various Southern California constituencies in the House.
In the 1960's, the state's public schools were led by Dr. Max Rafferty, a solid conservative who served as Superintendent of Public Instruction from 1963 to 1971.
The last conservative to win a major statewide office was George Deukmejian, who served as governor from 1983 to 1991.
The Denver Post published a story about some "leaders" not being happy. That means absolutely nothing, as should be obvious.
I’d vote for Tancredo LONG before even considering the
RINOS Dick Wadhams is promoting.
He hasn’t ticked off this Tea Partier.
Tom Tancredo will have my money, time and support.
Dick Wadhams is promoting two RINOS, and I’m sick and tired of RINOS.
