Recall Them
ByThe Editors

..."Because the United States is not a direct democracy, the dismissal of public officials outside the healthy rhythm of regularly scheduled elections is a tool that should be used sparingly. Nevertheless, there remain certain circumstances in which the offenses committed are sufficiently grievous to render such an approach appropriate, which goes some way to explaining why the citizens of Colorado have felt provoked to call for the first recall elections in the state’s 137-year history."...

Not only should they be recalled but they should be refunding their salaries from the day they took office for the current term. The public outcry has been clearly against controls and limits but the politicians pushed their own agenda for their own gain.

Exactly what gain is there when your own people are against it?

Maybe this will answer you question:

“Once you accept your own death, all of a sudden you're free to live. You no longer care about your reputation. You no longer care except so far as your life can be used tactically to promote a cause you believe in.”---Saul Alinsky(Hero to Obama, Hillary Clinton and all libs)

Be very careful with that quotation. There are an awful lot of boys who died on the shores of Normandy (and elsewhere) giving their lives for a cause in which they believed.

I totally agree with that. I did not mean/intend to dishonor nor make light of the great sacrifices that our military personnel have made in defense of the USA.

Of course... it simply goes to illustrate how much a person is willing to give and to what lengths they will go to fight (physically OR politically) for a cause they believe to be right. It makes no distinction as to the nature of that cause or if it is red/blue or right/left.

...and millions of them were on the other side dying for communism, fascism, national socialism, the Emperor....

There's a reason why Hussein Obama's campaign posters all featured his profile in a Lenin/Marx style pose.

Colorado is/has become the next California/Washington clone, and the governor was trying to keep the state's appeal to those who are moving there for that aspect of the state.

Saul Alinsky said it, ergo it only applies to "evil liberals" and not "good conservatives".
