Two years on and the arc of a movement

by | 3:43 pm, August 28, 2010

“It’s time for us to change America,” then-Sen. Barack Obama said on this date two years ago in Denver, accepting the Democratic Party’s nomination for president of the United States. It’s clear now that the change we’ve been waiting for is something else entirely.

McCain is supported by the Tea Party movement?

by | 8:06 am, March 27, 2010

According to a tease on page 2A of today’s hard copy of the Denver Post for a story on page 6A:

“Everybody here today that supports John McCain is part of the Tea Party movement.”

– Sarah Palin, during a campaign rally for her former running mate.
The actual quotation is not to be found in the referenced story on page 6A. The actual quotation in the AP story is:
“Everyone here supporting John McCain, we are all part of that tea party movement.”
The substance might be generally the same, but I thought quotation marks were for quotations, not paraphrases. Then again, I do not have a journalism degree. However, English is my mother tongue. But I digress….
If either statement is accurate, it means that the Tea Party movement is in favor of federal government bailouts of failed private business (which McCain supported) and against the First Amendment (see the McCain-Feingold Act).
I think Palin has confused the Tea Party with the Big Government Republican Party. If she’s right, the movement is useless.
I hold out hope she’s wrong.

Tancredo trashes Jane Norton, John McCain at R Block event

by | 12:11 am, January 29, 2010

I attended an R Block Party event this evening at the Old Mill Brewery in Littleton.

The highlight of the event was the fireworks provided by former U. S. Representative and Republican presidential candidate Tom Tancredo. He railed against recent Republican presidential nominee John McCain as a big government, liberal Republican.
But he did not stop there. He painted former Lt. Governor and current Colorado Republican candidate for U. S. Senate Jane Norton with the same can of paint. Tancredo professed his belief that McCain is doing his best to recruit big government Republican candidates throughout the country, including Norton, in an effort to continue his failed statist legacy. Tancredo said Norton fits the McCain mold, and that he could not support her candidacy.
Tancredo made it clear he thinks neither McCain nor Norton believe in conservative principles.
Tancredo said he supports Weld County D.A. Ken Buck in the Republican race for the Senate nomination.
Of his failed bid for the Presidencey, Tancredo told the crowd of about 60 activists that he never for a second thought he would win. He said his presidential campaign was a tool to educate the country on the problem of illegal immigration.
Nikki Mata and Lori Horn, as usual, did a tremendous job organizing the event, which was focused on educating activists on the caucus process. Several people had the opportunity to speak, including the candidates in attendance. Dan Maes, candidate for governor, Polly Lawrence, candidate for state House District 44, Derec Shuler, candidate for state Senate District 34, and Lora Thomas, candidate for Douglas County coroner, were among the candidates who addressed the audience.
Nikki and Lori were even kind enough to give me, as the President of the public advocacy group the Gadsden Society, the opportunity to say a few words about the Colorado legislative process and how to keep advised on pending bills. I recommended everyone follow state Rep. Kent Lambert on Twitter for his updates on the state budget process.

by | 9:50 pm, September 15, 2009

From today’s Caplis and Silverman Show on KHOW (audio link): HOST:  My question, again, is did Senator McCain ask you to run for Senator from Colorado? JANE NORTON:   I did have a conversation with Senator McCain, um, when I was going through, counting the cost, what it would, y’know, what it would take.  Listen, this is a [...]
