Mid-Term Election Eve
Your blogger voted for:
John Hickenlooper (D) for Colorado Governor.
Can't believe recent polls show wing-nut Tom Tancredo (American Constitution Party) trailing Hick by only a few percentage points.
GOP candidate Dan Maes is struggling to poll at least 10%. His last campaign finance filing showed a reimbursement to himself of over $70,000 out of $200,000 in contributions. Said his campaign has no credit cards, and sometimes he finds himself without his wallet, so he pays campaign expenses himself and then files for reimbursement from the campaign later. Made me wonder, "if he doesn't have his wallet (or, presumably, his checkbook), how does he pay for anything? Does he have wads of cash in his pocket?
Dan Maes (R-Evergreen), a perfect add to the short list for Sarah Palin's 2012 running mate.
Bob Kinsey (Green Party) for U.S. Senator.
Michael Bennet (appointed Democratic incumbent) lost my vote when he [finally] admitted in a recent debate that he does not support the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA), which has been going nowhere in the current Congress, because, God forbid, Senators like Mr. Bennett would stand up for the working men and women for our country. Wouldn't want to upset the "tan man', John Boehner (R-Ohio).
Recent polls show Bennett in a virtual tie with his Repugnant challenger, Ken Buck, who shilled for our votes by saying "Vote for me, I don't wear high heels, and I have Weld County bullshit on my boots". Whatever, dude, you're a nut, just like all the rest.
Voted for all the other Dems on my ballot. Voted against all the Referendum initiatives, with the exception of the one allowing for the temporary relocation of the state government away from Denver in the event of a national emergency. I'm thinking this would be, such as, if Tancredo is elected Governor. We should move the Capitol to Boulder and dare Tom to show up for the inauguration.

Sowers for Congress: Boots on the Ground
Your blogger is supporting Tommy Sowers' run for Congress.
From Tommy Sowers' Facebook page:
"I am a 4th generation Missouri native, a former Green Beret/U.S. Army Special Forces officer, an educator and a life-long public servant. I'm fighting for my home, to represent my fellow 8th District residents in the US House."
David Michael Green: Time to Write Off the Obama Presidency?
An excerpt from "The Regressive Antidote":Perhaps a better explanation for the failure of Obama and his ilk to fight hard for the country’s welfare and for progressive values is that he is no progressive at all. I’ve been arguing that for a long time, and he is certainly helping to reaffirm that notion right now by appealing a federal court decision ending Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, a policy which he claims to oppose. But, in fact, the Obama ideology ship sailed a long time ago. He previously also went to court defending the Defense of Marriage Act. He bailed out Wall Street a hundred pennies on the dollar, and demanded nothing of them in return. He has tripled the US presence in Afghanistan, and is bombing the snot out of Pakistan. He has not closed Guantánamo, and has an even worse record on civil liberties than Bush and Cheney did. His health care bill is a total gift to insurance corporations, and now we’ve just learned from Tom Daschle that the president had never considered the public option at all, having cut a deal with those corporations in advance promising that there would be no such component in the legislation. And so on, and so on. Stupid voters make the erroneous assumption that politicians like Bill Clinton are liberal because they are Democrats, and because the right and the media keep telling them that these guys are liberals. Most of the country has now done the same for Obama, but of course the opposite is true. So maybe the explanation for his failed presidency is simply that he has adopted the same regressive policies that have been killing the country for three decades now.
