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 one other person in that dorm at Virginia Tech would have had a concealed handgun permit with a handgun, the death toll would have been much lower.
Note my reply at #39. He didn’t say “our” he said “your”.
Quite telling.

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

I regret my "gun nut" characterization .........
My blog characterization stands.
“Your” only hope, since you’re not including yourself in the mix?
A new york liberal isn’t our only hope, or any type of hope for that matter.
Maybe all voters don’t, but 65,000,000 gun owners do and they are going to kick anti-gun Rooty’s a$$ at the polls and send that liberal sissy back to NYC to play dress-up with his queer friends!

No harm done! I am glad we are in agreement on that point!
“Maybe all voters dont, but 65,000,000 gun owners do and they are going to kick anti-gun Rootys a$$ at the polls and send that liberal sissy back to NYC to play dress-up with his queer friends!”
Amen.
Welcome to Colorado. Salida is small town living. Been through your new hometown many times over the years. Isn’t the Monarch ski resort still open for business? You’re really not far from the Springs. Enjoy!

Good one.
“Not all Republicans carry, use, or own guns. And most voters could care less what RMGO thinks. Keep bashing your only hope for 2008.”
You could be right about “all republicans.” But you would be wrong regarding most Americans.
Maybe in your world people don’t own guns. But in my world, everyone I know has one.
“Keep bashing your only hope for 2008.”
JulieAnnie may be your only hope, but he’s certainly not mine.
He says his position of opposing the PBA ban is firm, and he would have voted against the PBA ban if he had been in the Senate.
My position of never voting for an advocate for infanticide is even firmer.
This CO gun nut is proud that RMGO stuck it to liberal gun grabber Rooty Toot.
—>”...gun nuts are the ones who oppose the second amendment.”
Thanks for not making me point that out.
Second Amendment should always be capitalized. Along with God, Country and Patriot. Mom and Apple Pie are optional. Unless you are talking about my Mom.
Okay, I Stand Corrected!! Say Hi To Your mom For Me!!
*snort*
"Help me, Giuliani, you're my only hope!"
