that should be reMORSE of course.
d’oh

I wish we had the recall in Pennsylvania. I think it would require an amendment to the state constitution.
BTTT!!!
Chickenpooper should be next!!!
Whoa... Congratulations, Colorado!!!
Is there any hope that CO can be turned back into a Red State, as it was a mere 11 or so years ago?
Wow, BE, I wasn’t aware of this. That’s really discouraging. But yesterday’s victory was sweet nonetheless, and I’m sure it scared the heck out of a few other Colorado Democrat senators.
Be sure to flush twice. Denver needs the sewage water.
Late last night I went around the dial trying to find a network reporting on the recall. The only channel with a live report was AL JAZEERA American. I like those guys more all the time because they report on stuff that the rest can’t be bothered with.-—and the recall was looking good then.
What!Shirley you jest!Full enforcement of bad laws is not an acceptable option.
TRULY ,THE ONLY FIXING NEEDED IS REPEAL OF ALL OF THE UNCONSTITUTIONAL RESTRICTIONS ON PEACEABLE CITIZENS’ RIGHTS.
And Coloradans need to push for true election reforms that seek to prevent,instead of encouraging, voter fraud.
A huge WAY TO GO!!! for all those who worked to recall the two arrogant pols.
Thank you
Thanks for the ping, neverdem! Thanks especially to the
people (in both parties and unaffiliated) in those two
districts for voting in favor of the recall! Many of
those lefties in Pueblo aren’t all bad. ;-)
DWS: Colorado Senators Were Only Recalled Because of Voter Suppression, Or Something
The recall elections in Colorado were defined by the vast array of obstacles that special interests threw in the way of voters for the purpose of reversing the will of the legislature and the people. This was voter suppression, pure and simple.
Colorado voters are used to casting their ballots by mail, but because of lawsuits filed by opponents of common sense gun reform, voters were not mailed their ballots in this election. Those who intended to vote in person did not learn their polling locations until less than two weeks before Election Day. Tuesdays low turnout was a result of efforts by the NRA, the Koch brothers and other right wing groups who know that when more people vote, Democrats win..."
Same old crybaby propaganda from the 'Rats when they lose!
Voter suppression? Are you kidding, Debbie? The only suppression was suppressing some of the fraudsters, by forcing most voters to turn out in person in their local election precincts, just as Americans have done since the founding of the Republic. The mail-in vote regimen she embraces is a boon to the 'Rat fraud schemes, which is precisely why she advocates it.
Efforts by the NRA and the Koch brothers? Yep, two of the left's favorite whipping boys. Turns out that gun control groups, led by Bloomberg's Mayors Against Gun Violence, outspent the pro-recall groups by about 8 to 1 on these special elections, from what I've heard. Naturally, Debbie wouldn't tell you that.
She also thinks it's axiomatic that "when more people vote, Democrats win." Maybe she means that when more dead, demented, out of district, and other ineligible individuals are voted for by 'Rat operatives (including even dogs and cats), Democrats win. That would be a lot more accurate. Of course, neither she nor any other currently prominent Democrat would ever admit that electoral fraud or cheating exists, since the overwhelming percentage of such crimes are committed by her political soulmates.
“She also thinks it’s axiomatic that ‘when more people vote, Democrats win.’”
If you study voting patterns, it is a fact more Democrats vote in presidential elections than in off year elections or special elections and that always helps Republican who tend to vote every time there is an election for anything. I used to watch voting patterns in Texas in order to plan how to win elections, and those were the facts. So, she was partially right but mostly wrong - there will be more Democrats voting in presidential elections but not this recall election.
Is she still using Bill Clinton’s splooge as hair gel?
Yes, I would agree that it is axiomatic that more people vote in presidential elections than off year elections, largely because presidential elections attract far more media coverage and the candidates are better known to the public.
But there is no hard and fast rule that more people voting (which, in Wasserman-Schultz's thinking, includes those legally ineligible to vote and those voted for by Dem hacks or even those no longer alive) in presidential elections necessarily means 'Rat success in presidential elections. Nor do less people voting in the official tallies necessarily mean Republican success in presidential elections. I don't think that there is much of a statistical correlation between official voter turnout as a percentage of the eligible population in presidential elections, on the one hand, and percentage of the popular vote going to the Dem candidate, on the other, especially when looked at over a very long period of time, say 100 years.
I would agree that maybe in recent years, there has emerged awareness of a new category of "low information voter" that might tend to vote only in presidential elections and tend to vote for the 'Rats, which is maybe what Wasserman Schultz has in mind. Then again, how many of them actually vote of their own volition and how many of them are voting as they are told or are voted for by Dem operatives is a question that Debbie and friends will avoid like the plague.
