Senate bombshell: Cory Gardner says "I can't support personhood now"

[fizzgig]

Congressman Cory Gardner, who has been hammered for his position on social issues ever since he jumped into the U.S. Senate race, dropped a political bombshell Friday with his revelation that he was wrong to have supported previous personhood efforts.

He said that after learning more about the measures, which would have had the impact of outlawing abortion, he realized the proposals also could ban certain forms of contraception, a prohibition he does not support.

"This was a bad idea driven by good intentions," he told The Denver Post. "I was not right. I can't support personhood now. I can't support personhood going forward. To do it again would be a mistake."

Gardner, a Yuma Republican who has represented the conservative 4th Congressional District since 2011, late last month jumped in the U.S. Senate race to try to unseat Democrat Mark Udall.

1. Condolences!

You were rid of him for a while, following redistricting. Now he's ba-a-a-a-a-ck.

He's slimeyslippery, given his constant swim in deep oil teamoney. I'd believe him about half the distance I could throw him.

Now you can return the condolences as it's likely going to be Ken Buck running for CD-4. Talk about switching deck chairs on the Titanic!

5. Until he does

Love the way he used Udall's change if heart refrains same sex marriage as an example of the easy he thinks. If he was a logical, reasoning, thinking person he would change a lot more positions than this.
