El Paso County Commissioner Douglas Bruce handily won appointment this morning to fill the soon-to-be vacant legislative seat representing northeast Colorado Springs.
Bruce takes over the seat that has been held since 2001 by GOP Rep. Bill Cadman. Cadman will be sworn in on Dec. 11 to the Senate District 10 seat that opened up upon Republican Ron May’s Oct. 31 resignation.
Long known for his pointed conservative views and often abrasive personality...
He told the vacancy committee meeting that he plans to push for tax cuts and limited government with the same ferocity that has marked his public career.

“When liberals push silly schemes, I disagree,”
How does Colorado fill its state representative vacancies?
I infer that it is not by special election? (It says “easily wins appointment”)

I hope he stir things up ! Need to get away from “go along to get along” mentality that permeates politics these days !
We're talking about conservative activist and resident Coloradan, Douglas Bruce, author of the the nations first Taxpayer Bill of Rights. Colorado TABOR.

First Bruce: He’s not ‘ere, Bruce.
Third Bruce: Blimey, it’s hot in here, Bruce.
First Bruce: Hot enough to boil a monkey’s bum!
Second Bruce: That’s a strange expression, Bruce.
First Bruce: Well Bruce, I heard the Prime Minister use it. “It’s hot enough to boil a monkey’s bum in here, your Majesty,” he said and she smiled quietly to herself.
Third Bruce: She’s a good Sheila Bruce, and not at all stuck up.

Fourth Bruce: Michael Baldwin, Bruce. Michael Baldwin, Bruce. Michael Baldwin, Bruce.
First Bruce: Is your name not Bruce?
Michael: No, it’s Michael.
Second Bruce: That’s going to cause a little confusion.
Third Bruce: Mind if we call you “Bruce” to keep it clear?
Fourth Bruce: Gentlemen, I think we better start the faculty meeting. Before we start, though, I’d like to ask the padre for a prayer.
First Bruce: Oh Lord, we beseech Thee, Amen!!
Everybruce: Amen!
Fourth Bruce: Crack tubes! (Sound of cans opening) Now I call upon Bruce to officially welcome Mr. Baldwin to the philosophy faculty.

Everybruce: Hear, hear! Well spoken, Bruce!
Fourth Bruce: Bruce here teaches classical philosophy, Bruce there teaches Haegelian philosophy, and Bruce here teaches logical positivism. And is also in charge of the sheep dip.

Fourth Bruce: No. Right, I just want to remind you of the faculty rules: Rule One!
Everybruce: No Poofters!
Fourth Bruce: Rule Two, no member of the faculty is to maltreat the Abbos in any way at all — if there’s anybody watching. Rule Three?

Fourth Bruce: Right, that concludes the readin’ of the rules, Bruce.
First Bruce: This here’s the wattle, the emblem of our land. You can stick it in a bottle, you can hold it in your hand.
Everybruce: Amen!
Any excuse to post Monty Python is a good one in my book. Anyway, in the spirit of this post “Good on ya, Douglas Bruce! Stick it to the liberal b*stards!”
Liberals have been on a consistant losing streak in CO springs lately (starting with the election of 2006)!! Good for yall coloradans.
Did you forget they tossed that Black Republican State Sen. Ed Jones for a rodent (John Morse) in Nov ‘06 ?
No I didn’t know that but I was involved with Congressman Lamborn’s race, as well as state Sen Lambert’s.
What side are you on in the Lamborn-Crank imbroglio ?
Definately Lamborn, as Crank (is a RINO) and Lamborn a Christian, and friend (acquantence) and has a SOLID Conservative voting record!
We have too many Cranks in Congress already.
I’m forgetting who it is, but some other FReeper detests Lamborn with a passion. It’s one thing to fight over broad ideological differences, but I detest it when you have these long-running internecine feuds that are almost entirely personality-based. Crank and his people are risking this seat with their all-out war on Lamborn. There’s far too many Dems occupying GOP seats in CO, and we don’t want to add to their numbers.
Well, some good news for once!
This should be fun.
Yeah especially with Tom Tancredo retiring. I hate to see your ‘state’ turn into ‘California-Lite’. I have strong familiar ties in Colorado.
I’m in TN, not CO. ;-)
