Based On The Invisible/Recalcitrant GOP Reps In Colorado I Am Pessimistic About ACA, et al.

Colorado congressional Republicans have all but disappeared from the scene. And Colorado state GOP is just a bunch of gun loving Nazis who don't have full control of the legislature. They are owned by the gun nuts who want to carry their guns everywhere. In another time there would be brawls and fist fights it is so tense.

Wife and I are very active Dems in Colorado and GOPPERS are criminally insane here. Absolutely nothing in common with them. They really would shoot people the streets given the chance and it were legal.

I have never seen such a depth of rancor and hatred since I was born. You really cannot work with anything the GOP wants here. So I am not optimistic watching the national scene.

Corey Gardner and the rest of the GOP congressional delegation have gone underground. They will only surface at private parties or churches where people are screened and fully support them. They are still singing the same song. Virtually no government and no taxes for the rich which is the end game of all this.x

The sense I get from the GOP here is that working people should pay ALL the taxes and support ALL government and infrastructure. . Businesses and the rich should PAY NO TAXES because they provide the jobs.

Get video of a locked office door, a Congresscritter walking away from the scene, etc. Send it to the 6PM news.

Also write letters to the editor about how they are neglecting their constituents.

Not aware of any meetings from other GOPPERS. As far as I know they are meeting select people in secret.

Organize a town hall meeting and invite the Congress critter. Invite the press. Shame them to into either appearing or get negative news coverage.
