Former Rep. Mike Merrifield
The influence of New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg was a thorn in the side of gun control proponents during the recall elections, and Bloomberg’s specter will continue to haunt the race for John Morse’s former Senate seat, Senate District 11.
That’s because former Rep. Mike Merrifield (D-Colorado Springs), who previously was the Colorado State Director for Bloomberg’s Mayors Against Illegal Guns (MAIG), is running for the seat.
As our readers know, Colorado MAIG Directors have not exactly been cream of the crop material.
But Merrifield has more than his fair share of problems even before dealing with his New York political paymaster.
In 2007, Merrifield had to resign his seat as Chairman of the House Education Committee after he said that there is a “special place in Hell” for charter school supporters. If Merrifield thought that little piece of ugliness was going away, he is sorely mistaken.
Mike Rosen hasn’t forgotten and asked him about it last week on 850KOA.
Between the specter of Bloomberg and Merrifield’s nasty and extreme attack on school choice supporters, there’s a reason you don’t hear Democrats crowing about how they will easily take back Morse’s seat in 2014.
stupid liberal democrats never learn?
These stupid people cannot get it through their heads we DO NOT want to elect any Dems in El Paso county!
There's a special place in Junior High for politicians who need to be educated again for the first time. Merrifield has no allegiance to parents and therefore only has allegiance to Satan…er, I mean himself. Wait, don't quote me on that, because if you do, I'll deny calling him Satan even though he bears an extremely strong resemblance both inside and out. My daughter made it through the public school system DESPITE morons like this. I would much rather be saying that my daughter excelled through an extremely efficient and world-class education system BECAUSE politicians understand what's important, but those days are looooong gone.
God I Love Mike Rosen!
Morse = Merrifield = former and future recalled senators.
On Wednesday, 18 September, Mayor Bloomberg announced, "We got the law passed, and it's the law of Colorado."
We all knew Bloomberg was pulling the strings for the new anti-gun laws in Colorado, and this is the proof – "The Smoking Gun"!
Angela Giron, John Morse, Governor John Hickenlooper and more are puppets for Bloomberg. I wonder how much money changed hands? We should find out.
Colorado has the best politicians money can buy! Guess we know who's running Colorado….
Great, lets get Mike Bloomberg to waste more of his money.
L-O-EFFING-L! Doubling down! Woot! OMG, this is bringing tears to my eyes. Oh man, where is the kleenex? Oh, I'm out! A HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAAAA HA! Sorry, but I just could not resist.
Lol! They really don't get it, do they? Most of the Dems out here are not as mindless as they are on the coasts. They do not fall in line, do and say what they are told without question.
Same thing Morse and Giron were doing,won't they ever listen.
