Your actions yesterday have helped more than just your district, and more than just your state. You helped the entire nation yesterday!
Senate President John Morse of Colorado Springs and Sen. Angela Giron of Pueblo lost their jobs as lawmakers in an election seen as a national measure of popular support for gun legislation. They were replaced by two gun-rights Republicans.
Angered by new limits on ammunition magazines and expanded background checks, gun rights activists filed enough voter signatures for the recall elections — the first for state legislators since Colorado adopted the procedure in 1912. The recalls prevailed despite some $3 million in contributions for the incumbents.
The big news is that those $3 Million were mostly from Michael Bloomberg personally to install New York-Style politicians in Colorado. This isn’t Colorado-Centric, this was just the first attack, and it failed badly, as this was the first time Coloradans have felt the need to issue a recall, and not surprising, considering that, it was successful.
On the bi-partisan side, I’ll note that the RNC encountered the same issue with Scott Brown. They attempted to install a Republican in ultra-“Progressive” Massachusetts, and I won’t lie, he fooled me. Turned out Brown was just as leftist as Mitt Romney, and as the saying goes, You Give the People the Choice Between a Real Democrat and a Fake Democrat they’ll pick the Real one Every Time.
You simply can’t buy elections in America. That might have been true in the past, but it isn’t today.
Also check out your favorite lefty today. They’re floundering looking for ANY anti-gun news, no matter how insignificant to talk about rather than point out that groups like MAIG, Joyce, and the Brady Campaign are powerless outside of places like New York, California, New Jersey, Illinois, and Massachusetts…and even there their grip is slipping.
Looking at the twitter feeds it looks like it was a late night for most of them, I wonder if they got into the Old Cough Medicine.
Thanks for all your hard work Freedom-Loving Coloradans, you not only have protected your rights, but you’ve cost the anti-rights forces MILLIONS in dollars and man-hours, and shown it was all for nothing. They’ll be thinking about that the next time they move on the other states.
Can’t wait to see how the usual suspects try to spin this.
So far they are avoiding it at all costs.
Joan was up LATE last night looking for any story she could find of somebody doing ANYTHING remotely naughty with a gun to avoid talking about what she’s be CONSTANTLY talking about for the last week.
I wonder if they won’t say shit. Still the Brady Campaign might issue a presser declaring this somehow a “Victory” for gun control.
I normally stay away, but I’ve been refreshing Joan’s site today.
I want to see how she spins this.
The tears of whining losers are delicious.
Yeah I saw that and was deeply amused.
so far this is the ONLY “Progressive” who has admitted that they lost a big one last night.
My response to the whining losers? Last panel, Richard’s comment:

“I drained the soul of a monk once. It tasted like chocolate.”
That is some funny shit right there!
” I want to state here, that I am not a member of RKBA. I actually was a member briefly, but I got unceremoniously kicked out — you see, I believe that all handguns and semiautomatic weapons should be illegal, and that long guns should be limited to a 3-round magazine. ”
Why he’s just a moderate for sensible gun control!
I love the double-think of: “Why are you sister-humpers all angry about our first steps to a total ban?”
Oh-booooy, that’s a fever swamp of angry comments there.
I do love that the Fuddism and Collective Rights dinosaurs are still being trotted out over there. And hardly a peep on Bloomberg too.
But what I love most? How even on Kos there are gunnies taking them down.
We are everywhere.
