Though, Cantor doesn’t do anything for me personally, so good luck to Brat. Cheers.
BHO. The worst president of the 21st century, and it is only 14.449% complete.
Cheers
Brat's platform:
That the free enterprise system is the most productive supplier of human needs and economic justice,
That all individuals are entitled to equal rights, justice, and opportunities and should assume their responsibilities as citizens in a free society,
That fiscal responsibility and budgetary restraints must be exercised at all levels of government,
That the Federal Government must preserve individual liberty by observing Constitutional limitations,
That peace is best preserved through a strong national defense,
That faith in God, as recognized by our Founding Fathers is essential to the moral fiber of the Nation.
Cheers from a fellow Coloradan
Cheers.
one can change their party affiliation about a month before and election. see

The looters are running the state but I don't think they can throw the primary. I live in conservative Elbert County, and our liberal democrats go to great lengths to use their votes to screw with the state outcomes in primarys and go through histrionics to sound like they control the planet. I don't know how effective a tactic it will be, now that the Dem legislature just added a tax to 875,000 Coloradans to pay for the uninsured health care exchange costs. The Colorado citizens are getting pissed, even some of the liberal ones outside of Denver and Boulder that actually own something.
WRT to the Utah and Kansas comment, Governor Hikenlooper straddles any mildly controversial issue with such broad statements of firm resolution on both sides of an issue that no one can figure out if he is for something or against it, then he finds a way to do neither, like the reprieve (delay) of Nathan Dunlap's execution while he is governor. He didn't execute the death warrant and he didn't commute it, he just postponed it for as long as he is the Gov. Which hopefully isn't for much longer.
Oh, and ball should have been plural in my previous post.
Cheers.
I have no problem with immigration. My question is when did the rights of illegal foreign immigrants become more important than the rights of US citizens? I think we should close the border until our citizens are made whole from the second great depression. Then if tight labor markets slow our growth, then look at immigration. To stand and say immigration will grow the economy literally is a "rich get richer" solution. The rich will get richer with domestic labor too, but the whole population gains when the participation rate improves.
So, basically the new guy said free markets are a good thing and what about us first...and won by a landslide. That could be a recipe for this fall. Even guys like Lindsey Graham could carry that message for a while, if it meant they would win. Of course the difference is we're looking for someone that will stay with that message.
As an added thought, imagine the effect of a drastic reduction of the welfare state to that of a limited, demonstrated and investigated needs based aid system on our lack of emigration. Maybe we could even afford to pay for the boat trip or maybe even convert some legislator's miles award cards.
In fact that would be a mighty recognition of the travails of many if not most of the settlers of this continent and country. They couldn't make a living in Northern Europe, then Southern Europe, then Eastern Europe and so on, and they came here, many on boats provided by their home countries.
Yes. Remove the freebies and you strike at the root of the problem.

Have a great day!
O.A.
America, *until recent decades* has been a beacon for those looking to *build* a better life.
The illegals that have been flooding the country for decades are coming here for the riches they feel they are entitled to, and lie, cheat and steal to get them.
Having worked around illegals for close to 20 years, I know they come here looking to be dependents, they're not "turned". It's the social programs that attract them.
Yes, there are some who come under the allure of "free benefits." But having lived in Mexico for some time in the mid-90's, I'd say that most of the Mexicans who I came into contact with were desirous of the opportunity not of the hand-out. They knew that in America, they could save up some money and not have the gov't inflate the value to nothing in just a few months (hmmm, seems we've lost that), that they could start a business without having oppressive regulations and needing to bribe the officials and regulators to gain approval (hmmm, seems we've lost that as well), and that you can speak out against your government without fear of retribution (hmmm, seems we've lost that as well - why the hell would they want to come here, now, anyway?).
Run by immigrants? You're implying that they are entrepreneurs who started their own businesses (how, if they're in the country illegally?) When you see someone behind the counter who can't speak English, but speaks fluent Spanish, odds are he's an illegal hired to circumvent regulation.
You apparently knew the Mexicans who stayed in Mexico. I'm not saying that people of Mexican descent are the dregs; I'm saying the ones who sneak across the border here are. I haven't been to Mexico; I haven't met the Mexicans who stay there and try to survive amidst the corruption; I've just met lots and lots of the dregs who sneak into my country and try to turn it into theirs.
An example I've given before: a construction contractor will hire a "legalized" alien invader, pay him the going rate for a job class, deduct taxes, social security, etc, all perfectly above-board...
And this "employee" will bring five illegal alien buddies to work off the books, paid by him, out of his wages sharing expenses and living conditions that the "poor" natives of the U.S. would find unacceptable.
That's just one, blatant, example of employers circumventing the regulations in order to compete on price (may you smoke a turd in purgatory forever, Jimmy Carter, for promoting cost culturally dominant over quality)
And, let me be clear; I don't give a crap about eliminating the welfare state where illegal alien invaders are concerned. I want death by torture for the employers who hire them, and I want the invaders themselves thrown bodily back across the border by trebuchet.
Eliminating the welfare state is a solution for native-born parasites.
I like the idea. I like the part about awarding metals too.
With only a few exceptions, the only thing that can be found inside that ring of snarled traffic that represents the true American spirit are the monuments to this nations founding or the documents stored in the museums there.
It is absolutely pathetic that none of the members of the congress have congratulated Brat on his well deserved victory... as of this writing
Cheers

I Think a write in campaign should commence for Kentucky Senate Race and Ohio 8th! :D
My mouth to God's ear, I pray.
O'Really is claiming that the illegal alien invasion wasn't the issue that beat Cantor; it was class warfare. Because his campaign spent $170k eating at steakhouses, while Brat's campaign spent $200k total, that's evidence, to O'Really, that the people of his district saw him living large (and apparently got jealous...)
I still can't figure out how that progressive blowhard stays #1 in his timeslot.
