Response from Colorado Congressman

[Jay Kominek]

you'll jump on the bandwagon

The bandwagon of being rude?

I don't doubt for a second that Nighthorse is a politician who'd say anything he thought would get him reelected. I hardly need people on the Internet to tell me the depths to which politicians will sink.

I havn't seen anything in your, uh, political analysis with which I'd disagree. Rather I find the personal attacks you make in the process to be disappointing. You've looked Nighthorse in the eyes, ooo, fine, now you can say he is a worthless human being.

How long did you have to stare into Coyote's eyes before you earned the right to make implications about his character?

If you would like to defend Nighthorse, please do so on his voting, otherwise, please don't even go there.

Why havn't you stuck to attacking Nighthorse's voting record? Why do you need to make these personal attacks, now not only on Nighthorse but on others? In fact, I havn't seen you address his voting record at all, merely make personal attacks against a fellow who isn't present.

But hey! Voting record! Lets take a look!

He gets a mere 15% from Brady, having voted against them 17 out of 20 times. And he has a B- from GOA.

Sorry, I'd respond to the rest of your post, but I can't really make much sense of it. You seem to think we're all jumping up and defending Nighthorse, when in fact, I havn't seen anyone defend him until I posted his voting record. The responses so far have just indicated disgust with your personal attacks.

I can just see the spittle flying...
Someone neds a napkin and a spellcheck...

Dear Sir or Madam,
If this is an example of the type vitriol you spew, it is no wonder you do not achieve results with Sen. Nighthorse and thus have low regard for those you have interacted with. If, in fact, you are the SAS's L&G Dir's "mouth" as you say, I would suggest a course in common courtesy, as well as basic literacy, as you will achieve nothing by demonstrating an absence of both. The very act of belittling others for their efforts says volumes about yours. And, before you also accuse me of not measuring up to your high standards of personally interacting with my "political masters", I do correspond and voice my concerns with my representatives in government. I may not like their positions or lack thereof, but I refrain from personal attacks upon them and encourage others to do likewise. We may not have the "inside" access you do, but to discourage, attack or berate us for our efforts, or any effort really is, I believe, a mistake. But, this is just my personal opinion and maybe I should just "shut my mouth" because, according to your posts, that is the true road to civil discourse.
Regards,
General
ps: And no, I will not accept any invitation to be insulted telephonically even though you have stated to others that, "Better men have done so".


jimpeel: Doesn't DeGette have a sister in the print media somewhere...?

 

[jimpeel]

I better answer this one quickly as this thread is bound for the Glory Train.

I have no idea about any of DeGette's family; only her politics. I was living in CO when she was elected.

The Second District is rife woith Liberals and there will always be a liberal hack representing them. Patsy Schroeder ran on the guy she replaced being inn office too long and how it was "time for a change". She then warmed the same chair for twenty-two years.

Go figure.

Expect the same from DeGette.

His record actually sucks for any of our BoRs agenda.

Ok, finally an argument on the issue at hand! I agree that the Senator's voting record isn't what it could be, which is all the more reason we should be trying to convince him, rather than talking trash about his ancestory.

If you cannot get it, I can do nothing for you

Why certainly you can. You could just stick to the issue. For example, you could tell us what he lied to you about. As you may or may not have noticed, an appeal based personal experiance alone, which is what you have been making cuts very little ice online.

If you do have something more to offer, please do present that6 - but please, if otherwise, do shut your mouth, because you have no substinent thing to offer.

I will continue to voice my opinions as I see fit, your valuation of their worth not withstanding.

& Roadkill, Inoticed yo haven't taken me up on the PM,for my homephone numer to actually discuus, in person, thi sissue..... figured as much.

The obvious and appropriate response to incivility in a public forum is to object in that same public forum. You may figure what you will from my willingness to make my points in public.

This is supposed to be the high road.

DeGette supports the 2nd ammendment-YAH RIGHT!
Just remember shes from the same district that put Pat Schroeder in office for so many awful years! They are both the
