“So we were performing legislation without basic facts, which I think is a bad idea in every case,”
Add to the endless list of politicians who have no understanding of what they’re voting for, or why. Very scary indeed.
Fixed it for you
So someone explain to me why we cant imprison politicians who engage in official conduct while knowingly misleading their constituents?
And yes I recognized the irony of my own statement. lol
Election time…back peddle…back peddle…
Well because the politicians would have to pass a statute that makes such activity illegal. You know, just like they pass their own wage increases…
Montezuma County Sheriff Dennis Spruell said Hickenlooper admitted he “should have done more research” on the measures and listened to the sheriffs’ concerns before signing them into law. The governor told the group he felt obligated to push for the bill because a staff member had promised he would, according to both Smith and Spruell.
When it goes wrong, blame someone else. When it goes right, take full credit.
After this admission, CO residents should write their reps and introduce a bill to undo the damage from the hastily passed laws.
Eurodriver’s post sums it up nicely… election year, Now Hickenlooper has to face the public over this issue, So, he blames someone else for not doing his job for him, and absolves himself of all responsibility… Sounds like he tore a page from Obumbo’s playbook… I certainly hope the folks in Colorado see through this, and send him down the road…
Profiles in sleaze.
We used to have a solution for those types of people. A short rope and a tall tree. It was called treason, and it was punishable by death.
Yup! Typical liberal POS
Fixed that for you because only Liberals use this tactic. Lulz
Never mind. He’s back in the Progressive Ghetto. Chickenlooper didn’t realize people were recording what he said to the Sheriffs…
Someone I think got ahold of him and said that he might be imperiling the case filed against the law.
From the interview “I never talked to Bloomberg before the decision was made and he didn’t lobby me or have any influence.”
W…T…F…really? And I believe the emails were lost in the IRS too.
And “we passed it because we didn’t want any family to have to endure.” I thought he said he passed it because a staff member made a commitment to getting it passed?
Who is this idiot?
bullshit. He knew exactly what he was doing. If he really thought it was wrong, he would propose the legislation to undo it. This is nothing more than “oh crap, I ticked the voters off, I’d better say something quickly as my reelection is coming up…”
Pretty much.
Gun laws passed without facts… and apparently without logical thought as well.
As I recall the Governor was adamant the Legislature pass all those gun laws as he was anxious to sign them, no?
Magnificent!!! I just call then TV watchers.
