Bucking Buck
Suffice it to say that the local Republicans did not go swooning into paroxysms of ecstasy with the presumptive switch between Ken Buck and Cory Gardner. Instead of lauding the maneuver, GOPers from several levels swarmed into the candidate parade for the CD4 seat. Along with a former mayor from Rhode Island who does not even live in the congressional district, there’s current Weld County commish Kirkmeyer who is as teabaggish as they come, all pro-egg pro-gun pro-secession and unabashedly pro-OnePartyRule. To no one’s surprise, term-limited state senator Scott “Leviticus” Renfroe jumped into the mess. He’s every bit as teabaggish as Kirkmeyer, with a dollop of xenophobia tossed in just for fun; he’s also a bit grammatically challenged, which might qualify him some day for a job painting tea party protest signs.
Anyhow, the Republicans had their congressional district assemblies today. If Ken “I don't wear high heels” Buck thought he’d have a cake walk, he got disabused of that notion when Renfroe got more votes. They both qualified for the June primary. Kirkmeyer, who declared that she has no intention of following Gardner in moving away from personhood, petitioned her way onto the primary ballot, as did Laffey (the guy who lives outside the district).
Meanwhile, at the Democrats’ CD4 assembly, Vic Meyers was nominated. There really is something to be said for sanity.
Check him out: www.vicmeyers.org , then tell your friends to do likewise. And if you can throw a dollar or two his way, please do so. CD4 borders Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and New Mexico. It's huge, and the residents deserve real representation.
