  I was living on the Front Range (I’m so glad to be out of the city and back with the “backward thinking rural people”) when Hick was elected as Mayor of Denver. If Tancredo hadn’t entered the race, we would be sunk, since we found out we can’t really trust Maes (Tea Party helped him win primary but actually considered directly pressuring him to drop out). Hickenlooper has plenty of wrong ideas (see homelessness), but he has done a couple things right (he cut his own salary along with everyone else’s to help balance the budget). Campaigns seem to expose a lot of dirt about everybody, but between Hick & Maes it woulda been a tough call.

  Go Tancredo! Hickenlooper has lost his mind. Backwards is forward, down is up, right is wrong, etc. Colorado needs someone who is for business and reducing debt.

  Here in Colorado, I already voted last week, and Tancredo is my vote. Also I noticed Hick doesn’t talk much of the “backwards thinking” that allows Hick to employ illegal aliens. Just because one of his “undocumented” employees murdered a Denver Police officer, then escapes scot free to Mexico, doesn’t mean anything, right?

  He’s catching alot of heat for this statement here in Colorado. Essentially calling your constituents homophobes, and drawing a comparison between two thugs that murdered a gay man and the entire rural population of the Rocky Mountain states was beyond stupid. Although he seems to be a nice guy overall, underneath he’s your typical progressive, and panders to whichever audience he is speaking to at the moment. I’m embarassed that this man will most likely win the Gov seat. Colorado will have a liberal Dem in control over our state budget for the next four years…. we are already in debt up to our eyeballs from the last Dem to hold the office.

  I love how you are backward thinking if you don’t think like them!
