Democrats Lead; Republicans Lie
There are lots of ways to win elections. Democrats choose leadership and, if we measure by Trailhead antics, Republicans choose lying.
“Under Democratic leadership, we solved the worst fiscal crisis in Colorado with passage of Referendum C. The General Assembly has worked to improve Colorado’s schools, healthcare, and transportation. The Democratic leadership passed sensible immigration reforms and delivered a solution on the Public Employees Retirement Association that protects both workers and the solvency of the plan. In this era of Delay-style influence peddling, voters should also know that Democrats passed lobbying reforms and a ban on cash gifts to lawmakers,” writes Pat Waak, chair of the Democratic party.[...]
As Democrats have worked on the people’s business, Republican leadership has waged a campaign of character assassination through the Trailhead Group, which has launched round after round of malicious, false robocalls across the entire state. Although these calls may run afoul of a new campaign law enacted in 2005, Republican Attorney General John Suthers has been silent on the issue. “Since the attorney general’s re-election campaign is funded by many of the same wealthy donors who are bankrolling Trailhead, perhaps we should not be surprised at his reluctance to do his job by conducting a proper investigation,” Waak said.
