Rudy finds chilly reception in Colorado

Rocky Mountain Gun Owners ^ | April 17, 2007 | RMGO

[MtnClimber]

Hosted at the mansion/home of former Denver Nuggets star Kiki Van De Weghe, the event was meant as a strict money gatherer for Giuliani's frontrunner campaign.

Only one problem: Giuliani is adamantly anti-gun, with a record to prove it.

Being the first in a series of collaborative efforts between Rocky Mountain Gun Owners and the National Association for Gun Rights, we wanted this one to be a surprise (to both the organizers of the event and the attendees). Rest assured we'll let you know when there is another event.

A small number of hardcore RMGO activists met outside the Cheeseman Park mansion, where valet attendants waited for the rich (tickets were $4000+ apiece for the personal discussion) to meet with the former New York mayor.

Dressed in nice clothes, with smiles on our faces, we handed out this flyer (http://www.nagr.org/Giuliani.pdf) to the fatcats as they walked in.

Thinking we were part of the event staff, they happily took the flyer as we said "If you care about your right to own firearms you'll want to see the incredible anti-gun record of Mayor Giuliani's."

Responses always vary, but few refused the flyer. Even John Elway read it, and seemed to be shocked by the label of "Liberal" on a Republican.

You can read the Rocky Mountain News account of the event here.

Friends, this kind of thing hurts politicians. It's extremely demoralizing to a politician and their staff when people aren't fawning all over them, trying to shake their hand, get a picture with them, and "get access" to someone with the kind of star power a frontrunner for president generates.

I went ahead and posted the news article associated with this event (the event was actually cancelled at the last minute, so Rudy didn't confront the protestors, but they are mentioned in the article about the cancellation).

Got something against gun nuts?

I've got nothing against them because I are one!

I only own one gun but I'm nuts about that second amendment.

“I’ve got nothing against them because I are one!”

Me to! ;^)

I don’t know if Rudy is the man but the GOP needs a fighter. The next election will be a brawl like no others. The Dems have already fought their way into both the House and Senate and have done it shamefully. The GOP needs somebody to meet and fight them on every plain of existence, if only to point out their shamelessness treachery.

I think you are on the wrong website.

Maybe you’re on the wrong website. And by that I mean this one.

Who knew that for the past 9+ years I should have been elsewhere.

Thanks for the heads up!

We like our guns here in Colorado and we don't need no steenken' New York RINO to tell us we can't "lock and load!"

The Republicans deserve to lose if they nominate Rudy ( Rutootsie )( tootsie cross dressing ) Juliani

[CTSeditor]

Not all Republicans carry, use, or own guns. And most voters could care less what RMGO thinks. Keep bashing your only hope for 2008.

[Centurion2000]

You sound like you're just pissed because Guiliani sucks like the gun-grabbing liberal he is.

Republicans in flyover country don't want scumbag yankee RINOS for candidates.

[Reagan Man]

Didn't know you moved to Colorado.

Hi neighbor! Where abouts are you?

“I still do not know why he is not a DemoRat.”
He once was. He changes political parties like he changes wives. Whenever it suits him.

[no dems]

Rudy Julie Annie will never get the GOP nomination.

since when did some gun nut’s blog belong in the News/Activism forum of FR?

You have that all backwards, gun nuts are the ones who oppose the second amendment.

Those who support the second amendment, are known as patriots.

Hey neighbor! I'm down in Salida, a good distance from the ski resorts, Denver and Colorado Springs. This is a small mountain town.

Keep bashing your only hope for 2008.

Interesting phrase considering you could have said Keep bashing our only hope.

“Keep bashing your only hope for 2008.”

Our ONLY hope for 2008? ROTFLOL! You are living in fantasy land FRiend.
