CB, please keep in mind that Delta Mike advocates attending the caucuses with the goal to restore founding priciples to the Republican Party. At least, I take that as his goal given his desire to stop the Obama pro[re]gressive juggernaut, and when he casts Soros in a negative light.

If memory serves, I am one the “morons” who voted for Perot. I look back on that vote as an error. Not wishing to repeat that error, I will attend caucus training very soon, I will attend the caucuses, and I will support our founding principles.

It remains to be seen how effective my participation will be on reforming the Republican Party. However, sitting on the sidelines guarantees no effect. I have always sat on the sidelines before at caucus time. That is another error I now seek to not repeat.

Jeez, Mike, it’d be a lot easier if the republicans could produce even one acceptable candidate at the caucuses and primaries for which we could vote.

Y’all stopped doing so years ago, two years ago in disgust I changed my political affiliation and I’ve yet to regret it.

The more I hear people try to ram down my throat that I HAVE to vote republican because that’s just the way it IS the more apt I am not to. I don’t think I’m the only independent/third partier who feels that way, considering your mentality is what put Bush in office and if it weren’t for Bush Obama would have never been elected.

Until you guys figure out YOU DID THIS TO YOURSELVES and stop trying to force votes from the top down, you’re going to be wandering in the wilderness.

We must resist the temptation to form a third party. The ONLY option is to attend the Caucuses and move the Republican Party in the direction we want it to go. Otherwise, it’ll be a repeat of 1994 where the Ross Perot morons put Clinton in the Whitehouse for 8 years. Only this time, allowing Obama and his Progressives to consolidate their power will be the end of our Republic! 2010 is our ONLY CHANCE to stop this Juggernaut!

I wouldn’t put it past George Soros and other wealthy lefties to fund such a third party movement, corrupting tea party leaders with sex, money and power, (the irresistable lures in this human condition).

DoninColorado, thank you for the reminder that we have some elected officials to praise and thank. We have some great public servants in office here in Colorado, who are standing firm on principles in an extemely tough and often lonely environment. They are not the politicians of whom I speak; these brave men and women are the people’s true representatives and we need more of them!

There is a disconnect between many of those that are elected to office and those who elected them. The disconnect comes from years of “politics as usual” where the people pay attention for about two weeks before an election and many elected officials count on that 50 weeks of free unnoticed free reign. 2010 marks a new dawn of voter awareness. The evidence is seen in places like NY, VA, NJ and Mass.
Colorado is no different. Elected officials that are counting on politics as usual are in for a major surprise and will soon have the opportunity to pursue new and exciting careers in the private sector.
However, Colorado is lucky in that we do have many elected officials who exhibit the principles and values of true public servants. Those that fall into this category will be rewarded for upholding the public trust.
The “Parties” have a very short window of opportunity to become true representatives of the People or find that the People have declined their invitation.
