“The Blueprint” Co-Author to be Keynote Speaker in Colorado Springs 8/3/10
Do you want to know how Colorado turned from red to blue? Do you want to know what YOU can do to flip it back to red? Do you want to know what to expect from the LEFT in the general election this year? You need to know their game plan from someone who knows. That someone is Adam Schrager, co-author of The Blueprint.
Establishment Elephant in the People’s Room
Holding nothing sacred but the U.S. Constitution and the blessings of liberty it secures, the movement ultimately embraced George Washington’s early warning of political parties altogether.
Dan Maes vs. the Republican Establishment
Republican gubernatorial candidate, Dan Maes, really ought to consider getting out of the race. After all, he is the only conservative that has been in the race since last year. He has put in countless hours traveling all over the state meeting with prospective voters, attending events, and logged a mere 80,000 miles on his car in the process. Oh, and did I forget to mention that he won the state assembly May 22, making him the top choice on the Republican primary ballot?
Tancredo Aims to be the Colorado Crist
Everyone knows that by running a third party ticket, Ross Perot gave us Bill Clinton and Teddy Roosevelt gave us Woodrow Wilson. Compelling as those third party candidates were, all they did was split the conservative vote. The last time a third party managed a win on a national scale was Abraham Lincoln in 1860 when the Republican Party replaced the Whigs.
“Freedom Rag” Defined
The Colorado Springs Independent labeled us the “freedom rag” early on, which we appreciated. Somehow, however, in our effort to extend a hand to the GOP at large, we stepped a little too far from our roots in the liberty movement: we are not the “GOP paper” that the Libertarian and Constitution Parties accuse us of being, we are the “Tea Party paper” that the moderates and liberals accuse us of being.
Norton Campaign Flails Desperately
On Sunday night I received a campaign email from the Norton campaign entitled ” KEN BUCK TRASHES TEA PARTIERS: Buck Dishes Out More Profanity, This Time at Tea Parties.”
UPDATED: Ken Buck on “Birther” Flap
At a meet and greet in Colorado Springs July 25 a woman’s continued harassment of Ken Buck caused him to lose his patience. The woman was intentionally provoking Buck for a negative reaction obvious since the incident was “caught on tape.” The Denver Post even called her a “Democrat Operative.”
No, Jane, No!
The negativity of the Norton campaign, which started back in April when Josh Penry was hired away from the McInnis campaign, has reached embarrassing heights.
The Invisible Candidate
We’ve had the Joe G the Stealth Candidate and in this most unusual of election years I got a robo-call tonight from the Invisible Candidate, Walker Stapleton.
ONGOING: Tancredo’s Bid for Governor
This afternoon, press releases appeared from both Tom Tancredo and Dick Wadhams regarding the gubernatorial race. They are reprinted here, and we have been told that TCT will be given a statement by Dan Maes later tonight. Keep watching for updates.
