Checkbook Politics

Another Colorado focused political rant.

A section of Colorado geography running roughly from Steamboat Springs South to Pagosa Springs has great mountain scenery and four season recreation. Over the years it has attracted the moneyed class, especially trust funders. Once entrenched, they go about changing the political landscape to their choosing using their checkbooks.

Epicenter of the moneyed class is Aspen, which is within the 3rd Congressional District and  currently occupied by a, gasp, Republican who keeps getting re-elected. The (P)regressives keep putting up their own ideological acceptable candidate. Their current war horse?


Wow! Strong resume there.

Another moneyed class in Colorado is the RINOs who managed to re-elect a first term Democrat Senator, Michael (mumbles) Bennett because the man who won out in the Republican primaries “wasn’t one of them” and didn’t get party support (and neither did President Trump IMO).


Some readers may be familiar with the name, Tom Steyer.


He has written a lot of checks in Colorado for (P)regressive causes and candidate with limited success. Perhaps now he is busy spending $20 million impeaching President Trump maybe he will leave Colorado alone.


Yeah, yeah I know. Have an internet connection and too much time on my hands.

Steyer joins Soros as a billionaire with too much cash on hand, and who wants to blow it by handing gobs of their money over to hooligans and miscreants in hopes that they create chaos.

As long as these shennanigans drains both of their bank accounts, and the public sees through their evil plans, I'm OK with that.

Colorado was thoroughly Californicated. Wyoming seemed to do a good job isolating the trust funders and moneyed elite in Jackson.

Agree, except the part about the public.

Lots of amenities in Jackson missing in the rest of the state. Some inroads with the wealthy buying ranches they visit mainly in the summer.

It's going to be even more interesting as more Californicators show up... sigh

We seem to be getting more escapees, thankfully. These folks won't be a detriment.

I don't mind reading these rants at all.

It's stuff I need to learn now that I live here....

Thank you, but......
One person's opinion

I used to think it was radical to suggest tossing them all out of office. ALL of them. Oregon politicians are just as stupid, self-serving and useless.

Now I want all of them gone. Don't even care how it's done.

I want term limits.

There are a lot of people leaving Calif, but most that I know are very conservative. Not bayarians or so cal weirdos.
It's time for term limits.
