Hmmm. Right-wing Republicans appearing to be strident and vindictive? There’s a surprise.

When I first lived in metro Denver, I was in Tancredo’s district by about 100 yards. More’s the pity. Then I moved to Loveland, where my Congressional Representative was Marilyn “Helmet Head” Musgrave, and my state “representative” was Jim “Gays want to have sex with animals” Welker. Imagine my relief upon moving back to metro Denver and finding myself in the 7th Congressional District, where elections are not foregone conclusions!

I echo LHKMan about the Congressional pension, health care, &c. Tancredo may be a nice guy in person, but as a legislator, the only person he’s represented for a long time is himself and some genuinely racist lunatics.

As the disgust with the NRA and the Gun Owners of American,(Duddly Brown) grew, so did the influence wane of these right wing political idiots and lunatics who’d aligned themselves with the Christian Right and Pro-Lifers!

So much for those who are hypocrits of the Nth Degree who on the one hand encourage anti-government sentiment and promote guns until someone gets hurt…and on the other hand promote “pro-life issues, except for War and the Death Penalty!”

See Ya Around, Tom! ~ GP

p.s. Maybe you, Tom, can go back to working for the Independence Institute and be a guest again on that right winger, Mike Rosen’s radio talk show on KOA! (He’d probably like to hear from you…about all your “wonderful accomplishments in Congress.”)

The news just came out that Bush vetoed the Water Resources Development Act because it had more in it than he wanted. Funny, but I don’t recall seeing the picture of him vetoing the $286 billion highway program two years ago. That one only had 6,000 earmarks worth $24 billion. Oh, I forgot, the Republicans controlled Congress then, so it obviously wasn’t profligate spending, but good government. Yes, and I’m from the government and I’m here to help you, too.

Bush will again veto the SCHIP program that provides PRIVATE insurance for children of the working poor. That’s insurance, not socialized medical care, as he and his a**-kissing pals on Capitol Hill keep braying. In fact, it’s the same concept that Mitt Romney, another Republican, instituted in the PRoM - that’s People’s Republic of Massachusetts.

It becomes increasingly clear that Bush is only the latest Republican hypocrite, and that he doesn’t hesitate to make up false reasons for what he does and doesn’t do. We could start with his attempts to tie Iraq to 9/11. We were no better than Germany was on Sept. 1, 2939, when it cooked up a rationale for invading Poland. Somehow, it’s hard to justify preemptive wars when the stated reason for preemption are not valid. And what ever happened to Osama bin Laden? You remember him. He’s the head terrorist we were going to catch in Afghanistan, some six years ago. Oh, well, what’s a little hyperbole among friends, especially when Afghanistan has no oil, but Iraq has a lot of it. GWB says he would like to negotiate an acceptable version of SCHIP, but his version of negotiate is “my way or the highway.” He has not met with any Democrat Congressional leaders, but he sure looks cute when he says he wants to compromise, doesn’t he?

So, we seem to have an administration and obstructionist minority in Congress for whom the truth is a stranger, that is mean-spirited when it comes to providing for American citizens, and considers the public to be too damned stupid to recognize these things. Yep, Dennis, you’re right with your diatribes against crooked politicians and tax-and-spend government. Only, it’s the Republicans - your beloved GOP - who are guilty of those sins. That’s not quite right, of course. It isn’t tax and spend. It’s really don’t tax and spend, allowing our grandchildren to pay. By the way, you do remember that there was a budget surplus and the national debt was being reduced when good ol’ George took office. Now, we have the largest national debt in our national history. So, how do you like having someone else tell you what the Republicans stand for and believe? Still think the Republicans have a monopoly on integrity and good government? Or, is your sense of humor being tested? I’m having a swell time.

How did you feel when the Iranian fuc.s took over our embassy and held our people hostage for 400 plus days………are you into their nuclear aspirations? No big deal? What do you think that their ideas are? Freedom and live and let live?

Congress in whole spends too much of our
money, I agree with that but remember that
that Budget surplus you’re referring to
resulted from Clintons tax increase and
a massive cut in defense spending and
intelligence gathering assets. Now, you
might recall were in a war and we enjoyed
a recession in the early 2000’s due to
the tax increases, just as Bill was
leaving office.

And that is the last contribution I will
make to a blog that Censors and negates
peoples comments, ESPECIALLY when they are
defended people whose character is being
attacked. Like Tancredo’s was, very
unfairly. Spencer can sing to the choir,
dispite his welcoming homepage I think he
prefers that.

I have never owned a gun, nor fired one. But I believe in gun ownership and that doesn’t make me a freak.. What are you afraid of?

Second of all, look at a ultra sound of a baby at 16 weeks and then criticize the Pro Life stand point……

You don’t seem to have nearly the sense of humor you claim when it is you heaping venom on others here. Ta-ta, old boy. Don’t bust a gut. This is all in good fun — or is it only in good fun when you declare it to be?

It’s not it’s simple economics and
security. Tancrdo is not a racist
though Spencer implies that he is. Some
kind of obsessed bigot. And I claim that
it’s Spencer who is the racist because he
continually makes it a white on brown
issue. He’s what I call a reverse racist
because he hates his own race, that’s just
as racist as hating someone for being
black or brown or green or blue.

That’s what I said. I have no quams with
reading ANYTHING anyone says about me
and LKMAN I DO enjoy the discourse. But
if you came to my website you’d see there
is no censorship of any kind.

Dennis

On Halloween night, two large groups of Spanish-speaking people came to my door for trick-or-treating. Some “kids” were as big as adults, and there were several adults on the fringe. They continued to stand there after I gave the treats. When they finally left I saw a couple of large vans parked nearby and realized those groups were not from our neighborhood.

A parent of a small child later told me that a neighbor had to tell the large groups to move out of the way after giving them the treats, so the little kids from the neighborhood could get to the door. (The neighborhood kids come in groups of one or two and usually under 5 years old, and the parents often wait down at the end of the sidewalk).There are few older kids in the neighborhood.

The parent told me that two houses had set out huge bowls of treats because they weren’t home. It’s an honors system around here and the kids usually only take one. When the little neighborhood children behind the big groups of non-English speakers got there, the huge bowls were empty.

Is this the way it will be someday if they are granted citizenship? Will the immigrants use up all our country’s resources so that there is nothing left for our own children?
