VOTE-Don’t Let the Crazies Take Over

Well, it finally happened. We all knew it was coming. Our “friends” on the other side, the ones that used to be Republicans like Dwight Eisenhower, finally went all the way over the cliff. There was always that fringe, you know. That small slice that thought the U.N. was trying to take over the country, or that thought fluoridation was a Commie plot, but we never worried about them much.

Time to worry.


This year, at last, the wackos took over your mother’s Republican Party. At the top of the ticket they have Ken Buck and Dan Maes. Oh, and I almost forgot, as if that wasn’t enough, Tom (I never met a Mexican I didn’t want to deport) Tancredo is running for gov himself under the American Constitution Party. Seems Maes wasn’t crazy enough for him. As you march down through the ticket, you have Doug Lamborn, who we all know is nuts, but has been controlled because we controlled the Congress. So let’s move down the ticket, where you have Canon City’s own (why oh why did he ever leave Crowley?) Kevin Grantham. Gone to his website? It’s an adventure in wingnuttiness. Mr. Grantham tried to talk like a moderate, but in fact he is an anti-government, anti-choice, anti-foreign, anti-just-about-everything dyed in the wool Teabagger. With all that comes with that label. I’m not sure about Katie Barr, I don’t know enough about her to know if she’s nuts, but she sure keeps bad company. I can’t go through all of them, it’s too painful.

So you get the picture.

Let me tell you what happens if these people win. Nationally, it will be non-stop investigations from morning to night. Acorn, Obama’s former minister, Michelle’s vacation to Spain. All leading up to and ending with Obama being impeached for using the salad fork to eat dinner. Oh yes my friends, those wannabe Republican committee chairs are already chomping on the bit. Fired up and ready to go, as we used to say.

How about Colorado? I can certainly picture a non-stop parade of morality legislation, trying to turn us into a theocracy, rather than actually address real problems. I see tax cut and service cut after tax cut and service cut. Need a bridge fixed? Better figure out how to do it yourself. They’d like to turn every town in the state into Colorado Springs (Republican paradise, remember) with no cops, no streetlights, dead grass in the parks. And don’t bother calling if your house gets broken into. I can certainly see our Mr. Grantham leading the parade.

So go ahead, sit this one out because the medical reform bill didn’t go far enough. Or because the Iraq War isn’t totally over and all the troops home. Then sit back, turn on CNN (or better yet Fox, why not go to actual Party mouthpiece) and watch the show.

People, you better vote. The WHOLE ticket, too.











This is an article I wrote for our County Party Newsletter (in Colorado). My wife says I'm too angry. What do you all think?

1. I think you state the case pretty well.

2. Very good and I hope people pay attention.

I'm out talking to the independents every day, telling them what good has been done and how the wingers want to destroy it all.
