Plumber Wrench into the Gears of Gun Control

The Fourth Estate is in reality a Fifth Estate of Fifth columnists.

The big test in Colorado will be in 2014 when we see if we can take back both the legislature and governorship. If we can do that, we should be able to roll back the gun control bills that were passed earlier this year.

As Senator Feinswein is working on legislation to determine who is entitled to free speech.

It won’t stop the lunatics here in (M)assachusetts (the M is optional).

I feel for you. At least here in Colorado we've shown that there's a chance of regaining our freedoms...in Massachusetts, not so much.

[The Antiyuppie]

I have a stupid question: Why is it that Democrats are always producing “common sense” legislation, ideas, projects, proposals, and so on...when it is absolutely clear that they don’t possess any common sense themselves?

[taxcontrol]

I have no doubt that we can retake the Senate. The House will be a tougher fight but still possible. The challenge will be the Gov’s seat. I suspect that like this recall election, there will be a whole lot of outside money coming in from unions, MAIG, and other leftists to defend Hickenlooper. He has become their poster boy in the west.

[Kip Russell]

While Hickenlooper's polling numbers are currently underwater, I suspect it will be very hard to defeat him next year...and it will take a total sweep of both houses and the governorship to reverse gun control in Colorado.

Here's hoping...

Yep, but I all hear is that he thinks "The Russians aren't so bad..."

[RKBA Democrat]

Y’know, this issue would have never come up if just 10% of the population of Colorado Open Carried on a regular basis. Once you de-mystify the tools of Liberty you take the wind out of the grabbers arguments. Oh and you essentially get rid of violent crime in the process. Nice fringe benefit.

[TheRhinelander]

It took generations for the Dems to final take over this state in the 1950’s. It’ll take generations to take it back.

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

A friend of mine had a pot bellied pig named Dianne Fineswine.

[Unknowing]

I’ve been thinking that Tom Tancredo is now our best gubernatorial bet. Curiously, the morning he announced his candidacy on the radio, the program host (Peter Boyles) was silenced within moments and fired soon thereafter. Tancredo has been persona non grata in the RNC for many years, but he remains wildly popular with the grassroots. The GOP establishment in Colorado is a dysfunctional and self-defeating organization, as we know, but the Liberty Movement has been gaining popularity. Tancredo has great appeal to the grassroots Liberty Movement voters, and also to those Republicans who spend more time at work than at the country clubs.

If the GOP convinces some big-name statist like Elway or Beauprez to seek the Governor’s office, IMHO Colorado will only get more chicken poop.

I'm with you, Kip Russell, but am afraid that's a mighty large if, indeed: we're going to have to count on state Republicans, large numbers of whom are RINOs, none too bright, or both.

The Colorado Republican Party does have a habit of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

[Yardstick]

If not, he should have. Our ridicule machine should be in a state of constant, quivering anticipation.
