Colorado Constituents Recalling (2) State Senators for Gun Control Vote

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

I'm not certain if I'd vote for or against these two Senators in a regular election, but I certainly would vote to oppose their recall. This is not what recall elections were made for.  If you want politicians to fave the voters more often, then shorten their terms.

Colorado already has term limits. Morse himself is term-limited, which makes the recall even dumber.

Recalls should only happen when a politician is corrupt or completely inept. They shouldn't be used just because they support a position that you don't.

You mistake my meaning.  When I said shorten terms, I meant the length of each term, not the maximum length of all the terms an legislator could serve.  There's no reason the Colorado House couldn't be elected every year and the Senate every other year instead of two and four years as is the case now.

Oh look, anti-Semitism:

One doesn't have to be anti-Semitic to despise billionaire Bloomberg.To attribute Bloomberg bashing to anti-Semitism without even a shred of evidence that was the reason is lazy self-victimization.  If there is any evidence of that, it wasn't given in the link.

I support common sense gun laws but this issue can't be the Dems top priority. Gun control and gay marriage are just not issues where national majorities are made. It's about breaking the GOP's interest groups stranglehold on politics and I would start with their business interests long before taking on the NRA.

The problem for the Democrats is that not all of the gun laws progressives support are common sense.  Indeed, some of them are just plain nonsense, and supporting them weakens support for the ones that truly are needed such as universal background checks.

Let's face it, we're gonna have start making voting mandatory. I mean it.

So, that would mean forcing the uninformed to vote, to make the democrats win. Sounds fair doesn't it?

Certainly as fair as disallowing the use of the postal vote in this recall election was.
