UPDATE (11:30 PM):Â Victor Head responds to Morse’s smear:
‘And I have a message for John Morse … Who’s unemployed now?’ — Victor Head, Pueblo Freedom & Rights. #PuebloRecall #COpolitics
— Nick Bonham (@NickBonham1) September 11, 2013
Senate President John Morse is a bitter, angry man. Lashing out at the organizer of the recall of his fellow Democratic Senator Angela Giron on MSNBC, Morse falsely asserted that the organizer in question — Victor Head — was an “unemployed plumber who all of the sudden had $20,000 to spend.”
Here’s the transcript:
MSNBC’s Steve Kornacki: What message do you think it would send if you are recalled on Tuesday?
Senate President John Morse: Well I think what it sends is you can lie, cheat and steal, force a recall election and get people out of office. I take exception with part of the show to begin with, where this is a grassroots effort in Pueblo and Colorado Springs. In Pueblo, you know, it was an unemployed plumber who all of the sudden had $20,000 to spend on this effort.
In fact, Victor owns a family plumbing business with his brother Adam, which he took over when his father was diagnosed with cancer.
Just like the plumbing business, Victor’s group seeking to recall Giron – Pueblo Freedom and Rights – is a family affair as well. Victor’s mother, Rosie, volunteers for the group and his brother Adam has been intimately involved as well.
Stay classy, John Morse.
As for the $20,000 conspiracy theory, we have no idea where the hell Morse got that from. Victor and his fellow grassroots organizers collected all of their signatures with a 100% volunteer force. They are far from a well funded, professionally run effort.
Giron’s group, on the other hand, is running TV ads during NFL games, while the ads for Victor’s group are running at midnight during re-runs of “Dog the Bounty Hunter.”

Richard Berry You realize that the vote in colorado springs to recall morse had less than 20,000 votes, right? That is barely a fraction of the people who actually live in that district. Tiny percentages of a voting body does not equal an actual vote. The NRA's scare tactics and lies were enough to win this one, but in reality, the country lost. By showing that private interests can remove sitting representatives because they have enough money.
The only thing i have you to thank for is the systematic destruction of our democracy.
Your mention of bi-partisan(Republicraats) shows how uniformed You really are. People that have no clue think it was about GUNS smh only one of the many reasons them two people were forced to Listen to the People. Baaaaah Baaahhh Read a book and turn off your t.v then You can thank US!
Interesting thought considering 95% of the bills Morse put forth had bipartisan support. I understand though! DON'T MESS WITH MY GUNS!! Oh no! They're coming to take my guns! Oh NO!!!!!
Morons.
Question for Mr. John Morse (posted on his Facebook page):
Is it better to be an unemployed plumber who has the passion to defend our Constitution… or an unemployed politician who tried to subvert our Constitution?
Hummmm…….?
I hope you Replace Hick with Gessler!!!
Nah, "Bagdad Bob" is the winner hands down! But they could both do it and smile at the same time.
David Stocker make it happen. Recalls, despite the claims from these people, rarely happen as there are specific rules in place for them. This is the first and only time it's been done in CO in the history of the state.
Way to go .. What an arrogant SOB! Im proud of you Colorado! Lead the nation to liberty…Again!
David Stocker You can, We did..
David Stocker you can do anything that you all put your minds to
No mention of the $325,000 donation to Morse from Bloomberg?
he is DELUSIONAL….
Don't wait for someone sometime, you're someone, now is the time!
"the other side has poured a lot of money in this"….HA!! They had less money than you got from Bloomberg alone!!!
David Stocker You can, now get off your ass and go do it.
hahahhaha Morse will need to buy alot more Preparation H for his massive butthurt. Hey stupid I hear Uhaul and Penske might be having a move out sale. You might want to invest in a truck or two lol
You can do it in Maryland, it starts with you! Your vote counts!
This is a Typical response from a politician who is in FEAR of the TRUTH being found out about them, and losing CONTROL over their mind set that they OWN the world and can DICK TATE how we will live OUR LIVES. He is afraid he has NO way of getting it back now and wants to make Mr. Head look bad, I know Mr. Head and the other two men who started this are Honorable and HONEST men, morse is NOT and giron is not. This is what makes them afraid. But the Good WILL ALWAYS WIN in the end. They have been KICKED OUT like they DESERVE as MANY others do as well.
There's a reason you got recalled, ya jackwagon! Ugh, politics.
Wish we could do it in Maryland.
By, by Mr. Morse. You have just been recalled.
Still doesn't get it..the message is, do what the people elected you to do, not your own agenda!!!
Hire him as a plumber. Hes good at talking chit. These politicians just don't get it do they?
Lie, cheat and steal? Look at the pot calling the kettle black!!!! Who had voters bussed in from out of state, and money sent from everywhere?????
But, Bloomberg will keep him well fixed as he has the done the
job for which he was bribed
Yes! They are OUT!! Lying scum.
Why can't we ensure that the State Constitution prohibits ANY action related to the US Constitution without voter approval? The wakeup call should be to protect ALL of the points, including the amendments of the constitution. It is the 2nd that protects the 1st and allows enforcement of the rest!!
Now watch this tool see how much stuff he can fuk up before he has to leave….!
NAAAAAAAAAAH NAAAAAAAAAH NAAAAAAAAAH NAAAAAAAH
NAAAAAAAAAAH NAAAAAAAAAH NAAAAAAAAAH NAAAAAAAH…
HEEEEEEY HEEEEEEEY HEEEEEEEEEY…
GOOOOOOOOOOOOD BYEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Notice how the dems always call out the same crap they do and blame it on us, Oh yea that is the liberal way. It can never be their own fault. I have never met a liberal that could take personal responsibility.
Unemployed Piece of Work Now…
Nothing but excuses
WE ALL VOTED YES In SUCH DENILE ITS FUNNY.A year left to go in your term NOPE SORRY

Colorado did Good! These two are like most public servants these days. They feel they decide for The People. Newsflash!! YOU work for US! Lesson learned….Listen to the People and not those that pad your pockets. COLORADO = FREEDOM! Love My State and All that Helped recall these PAMFS
It's funny how when it comes down to it, the ever-tolerant and all-inclusive progressives get nasty and petty…I, on the other hand would never pretend to take such a high road. I would say that Mr Morse is a living-breathing turd, but that would be disrespectful to the other turds out there. Instead, I will just say: "Take your medicine, you classless POS. You are fired."
There is one for HB1224 – go to putittothepeople.com to find out where to sign and volunteer to circulate a petition. Also, there will be another one addressing some of the other bills coming out in January or February.
ha ha ha ha ha!
arfcom gave it to Victor and the rest of them. Amazing, a bulletin board just took down a state senator. The Constitutional Republic worked.
if you do it or see someone else do it, make sure to notify me as well, I will fully support it
How did this small piece of offal ever get to the Colorado legistlature? Wonder if he will find his soul or do they allow those in h3ll?
Obviously the unemployed one now is Morse.
We just did 🙂
They both lost tonight!!
Well, the recall is over and Morse and Giron lost. I watched Morse's concession speech and almost felt sad for the guy. Bordering on being apoplectic, he rattled off most of the threadbare progressive talking points: Women's health, equality, etc. Things which were never issues in the first place. Maybe Morse should talk to the plumber who started the recall about finding out how to find a REAL job.
You can. I will sign it. And vote for it.
Our state constitution allows for direct ammendments to the constitution…ie. A64. Why can't we 2A supporters get an ammendment on the ballot in the next state wide election that requires a vote of the people for any measure that restricts the 2nd ammendment?
Morse is still such a liar, I'm surprised and disappointed that his pants don't catch on fire… When they do, best move out of the way, nothing in his pants except a big fat a$$, there will be a LARD flow..
He just might be the worst liar I've ever seen and I've been around awhile…
I so hope he goes……not a good man.
Come on Colorado, get these Anti-Americans out of office.
He's a damned crook.
