Don't Be Fooled— Colorado Governor Jared Polis is No Moderate
Newsweek ^ | 6/16/22 | Joshua Sharf

Posted on 06/23/2022 8:28:46 AM PDT by george76

Jared Polis is running for president.

He'll deny it. He has denied it.

...

Polis has done little to nothing to ruffle the feathers of the teachers' unions...

...

standing aside and letting municipalities do your dirty work for you. Polis let Denver Mayor Michael Hancock lead on coronavirus lockdowns and masks before imposing a statewide lockdown himself. Polis also signed a bill allowing cities and counties to enact stricter (but not looser) gun regulations than the state imposes. And there's nothing particularly libertarian about opening the door to public employees' unions in a traditionally non-union state like Colorado.

...

As for standing up to the climate lobby, Polis is the climate lobby

...

For all he talks in The Hill of not telling people what to do, Polis is a champion at telling people what to do.

...

Republicans should take little comfort in the fact that Polis doesn't yet have much of a national profile. He was one of the original architects of the Colorado Blueprint that turned the state from solid red to increasingly solid blue, starting in 2004. He's a clever politician, mostly letting others advance the progressive agenda, occasionally pushing back at the edges, almost always from the left, to give the impression of being a centrist.

Increasingly, 2024 is looking like a Republican year, with even the potential for a realignment that produces a durable Republican majority. However, there are ways conservatives can blow this generational opportunity. One is by playing along with a dangerous mythology defined by their opponents.

Polis is the very definition of a woke progressive.. bizarre new culture that strips us of our constitutional rights .. Make no mistake about it, Polis is positioning himself to run for president the minute the Democrat Party checks poor old Joe Biden into the Shady Pines Rest Home.

Polis should be feared, not revered.

RINO Cornyn can be the running mate of Polis.

A homosexual pervert running for president? Well, Little Marco tried and failed. Guess Polis can as well since it will divert and waste millions of dollars on a futile effort.

Ahem… a clear majority voted for an obvious poseur named Obama, and, whether or not he got 80 million votes, tens of millions voted for a senile dullard. That said, though I’d put it more delicately than some of the others, I think there’s a number of swing states and open gay cannot yet carry

Of course Polis is a far leftie. The reason he is dangerous is he is very clever at disguising that from voters who don’t really follow politics and he lets other “progressives” do most of his dirty work.
