This would seem to indicate McInnis realizes his support is not as strong as it should be were he that well thought of. All I can say is party activists are not behind him now. That can change but it explains McInnis’s seemingly stealth entry into the race.
Hey, everyone on FR from CO understands we have problems with our liberal state activists who have controlled too much over the past number of years. Overcoming this paradigm is our biggest challenge, and stopping counties like Denver, Adams or Boulder from running things. Conservative Republicans, Democrats and Independents need to come together to defeat any statist the Democrats nominate.
Make no mistake, Democrats will offer someone who “appears” to be conservative, but electing that person means more statist control of the state or federal government from Democrats. By definition, that won’t work and will harm our state and country.
Poster-boy Ken Salazar is a prime example. He ran as a fiscal conservative, but he voted liberal on every major issue. Our problem is really duplicitous liberal candidates winning elections fooling voters over their being big government supporters.
Colorado voters need to do better.
Ritter vetoed the recent union bill to make himself seem moderate ?
Bill Ritter claimed to be pro-life. Since winning the Governorship, Ritter has pandered to liberal groups. Our decline first started in 2004 when Salazar won the US Senate seat and the Dems took over the legislature. If McInnis can oust Ritter, then it will be a sign that things are turning about around nationally. The road to Conservative revival starts in Colorado.
