Ed Hall, Chair of the Denver Democrats and designated filing agent for pro-Morse Group “A Whole Lot of People for John Morse”
The liberal front group attempting to beat back the burgeoning recall effort of Senate President John Morse is headed by the Chairman of the Denver Democratic Party who calls Colorado Springs a “right-wing, religious whack-job stronghold.”
A Whole Lot of People for John Morse has as its designated filing agent, Ed Hall, who is also chair of the Denver Dems. The insulting description of Morse’s hometown of Colorado Springs appears in the first line of Hall’s bio on the Denver Democratic Party’s website.
So much for a Whole Lot of People for John Morse (in his district).
The Denver Democrat group has been sending out highly deceptive robocalls pretending to be a public safety announcement in what amounts to petition suppression, warning recipients of the calls, without a shred of proof, that sex offenders and criminals are trying to get their personal information and urging them not to sign the petitions.
It’s clear that with such scorched earth tactics, Democrats from Denver to downtown Colorado Springs are beginning to worry.
So much for the party that claims it wants to improve participation in the political process.
But, in the end, it’s not really surprising. Morse has a history of over-the-top antics with his political opponents, even once threatening the home of a citizen who filed an ethics complaint against him for abusing his per diem allowance from taxpayers.
Morse’s ego and disregard for his constituents is something that his local newspaper summed up pretty succintly two weeks ago:
We’ve learned to expect this kind of tone-deafness from Morse. His disregard for the best interests of his own community is well-established. So, it’s hardly surprising to see him thumb rural Coloradans in the eye on the premise that it’s for their own good.
This time, though, Morse will have to face not only his critics but the voters should the recall succeed. And he’s not starting on the right foot with his group’s leader trashing the very people he needs support from.
He does look kind of fruity doesn't he?
Gary – like your avatar? I hope this is your wife or girlfriend!! Guns are good, liberals and Morse are bad! So are his 4 whole lot of people who are supporting him. Without Bloomberg's money Morse would be toast! He sold himself same as a prostitute.
Karen Dowe – we are turning it back to red! Eat your heart out darlin – and we will get rid of socialists like you while we are at it!
Hall is like most liberals – he ignores facts, doesn't have facts, supports corrupt politicians and have no values. He claims he and his 4 members of the "whole lot of people for morse" are a lot of people! 4 do not make up a Whole lot of people! Let's see, there is Bloomberg, Le lair, Hall and one other – this is a whole lot of people? Is he stupid or just trying to make us laugh?
He and his 4 members are just socialists who want to control everyone and make us all bow down to Bloomberg's anti gun position. Interestingly, Bloomberg is surrounded by a security team ALL of whom have guns. Hall and his whole group of people are just hypocrites – all 4 of them!
You're exactly right, for the first time since statehood California lost enough people for on less congressional district. I will continue to work here, but when retirement comes, which is 3 years or less, I'm gone with all the money I'll be spending over my 20 years of retirement.
This is proof positive that conservatives are much stronger than liberals.
Karen Dowe It has only changed because of the huge influx of these left wing socialists from California. They have trashed their own state so now they are fanning out across the country to suck the life out of the rest of the country. THEY AND OBAMA WILL LOSE THIS FIGHT!!!!!!
Stan- Make that the United Socialist States…………..that is where we are heading. I'm no extremist, but I sure as the dickens don't want to turn all my safety and security over to a government that bows and scrapes to "leaders" all over the world and apologizes for the US! The only thing that is turning this state blue is the fact that so many liberals are sucking the air out! We are losing businesses and tourists as a result. Karen is the one who needs to pull her head out and smell something else!
SO KAREN IF SOMEONE BREAKS INTO YOUR HOUSE, TAKES YOUR SMALL CHILD/GRANDCHILD/ELDERLY PARENT ETC AND STARTS BEATING THEM, RAPING THEM, ETC OR YOU FOR THAT MATTER, YOU WOULDN'T WANT A GUN HANDY TO PROTECT YOURSELF? WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO CALL OBAMA AND TELL HIM SOMEONE HURT YOUR FEELINGS OR CAME INTO YOUR HOME UNINVITED? HOW ABOUT YOU JUST ALLOW HIM TO DO THAT, BECAUSE THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE SAYING. YOU ARE SAYING THESE PEOPLE HAVE A RIGHT TO COME INTO OUR HOMES AND TAKE WHAT THEY WANT, MURDER OR RAPE WHEN EVER THEY FEEL LIKE IT. YOU ARE SAYING IT IS OK FOR THESE CRAZY PEOPLE TO MOLEST OUR KIDS AND KILL THEM OR KIDNAP THEM AND WE HAVE NO WAY TO PROTECT THEM. THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE SAYING!
Karen. When you poke the bear with a stick you shouldn't be surprised when you become a meal.
Most Coloradoan's go about their business, working, raising their family and don't get too involved in politics. When things get as totally out of hand as they have in the last legislative session, they start to find more time to pay attention to what is happening.
When they realize that the hard core left, who focus on gaining office by any means and by saying anything are starting to move their life and personal freedom in a direction they're not comfortable with, you'll see the leftist core politico's start getting set down.
Pay attention in the next election. You'll see what I mean.
Because we want to live our lives unencumbered by nanny-statists with allegiance only to an agenda, we're "whackjobs". This from the party that lies about why ambassadors get killed, approves of infants brains being suctioned into a jar at birth and wants to take constitutional rights away from honest citizens for their "own good."
We've been lied to, misled and slandered quite enough by the ultra-left agendists -those bitter clingers to a failed collective ideology in which they get to dictate what is best for the "little people."
This man needs to be removed from any form of public office as he has discarded his loyalty to the people he took an oath to serve.
Right wing religious whack-job stronghold. If I were a realtor in the Springs, I would use that phrase in my listings.
Colorado will never be red again. Time to accept reality.
Karen Dowe There lies the problem! You're either the epitome of the throngs of Liberal loons that consist of the S.H.A.M.S. (Secularists Humanists Abortionist/Atheist, Marxists, Socialists), or the Useful Idiot enablers who are destroying this great country– clueless of the sanctity of our God given inalienable Rights, our cherished values as Americans, as the bastion of Freedom and Liberty that resulted in many global achievements in its 237 short years of existence and made the USA an exceptional country!
The votes were split 3 ways because of a libertarian candidate–folks need to learn the consequences of being a purist–THERE IS NO PERFECT CANDIDATE! and some so called Conservatives should stick in their thick skull that we all lose in the end if we vote for a "perfect" candidate!!
I just saw an article that ranked states according to the business climate. Texas was number one, Colorado was somewhere it the middle and California was dead last. Guess where all of the people who voted for the policies that sent California to the position of dead last have been moving to over the last 20 years. Look to California to see where this state is headed if we stay on our current path.
Kudos to Kelly! That's some beautiful revisionist history there. You forgot to mention that Ed was born and raised in Colorado Springs–'cause that's not relevant or anything.
Who is smearing whom? I think Senator Reid has found a new bully in Hall.
Since when has maintaining the status quo and been an "extremeist" view.
really Karen? how is protecting our constitution and long-standing moral and ethics considered extremist? only to want to protect what we were built on and became the world leaders of? It is certainly changing, Karen, day by day as we become more 'blue' as you say we slip from any strongly held belief into one of diluted-anything goes and one by one our #1 rank in the world in economy, jobs, technology, corporate presence, freedom, liberties, morals, traditional family values and the list goes on. We are martyring our state and country day by day.
Keep it up 'flaming blues' tour giving every strength of our country away…day by day.
United States of China here we come.
Is that little tantrum the best you can do? Please stay away.
Time to make Colorado red again! Vote out these worthless liberals, and anyone who doesn't support the United States Constitution!
That's unlikey to happen. When are the pro-gun extremists going to accept that Colorado has changed and it's now a blue state.
What confuses me most is if CS is so conservative, how did Morse get elected?
He and Hickenlopper need to be removed from office.
Is he the sex offender they are cautioning people about? He looks like one.
How and when did the Springs get this so-called reputation. The next question is WHO give us that name? Let me guess, Liberal Democrats!!! If that is true the statements above stand true to the name calling by these Libs, but oh try and say something back and look out!
I hate to toot my own horn, but after 20 years of the military and working with the federal government, and now a student, my image is not near as tarnished as Morse's is from what I am being told in casual conversations!
I remember Ed Hall from Palmer High. He was a smarmy little jerk back then. Some things never change.
"Right Wing, Religious Whack-Job Stronghold"… and almost everyone who lives is Colorado Springs is heads and shoulders above John Morse and Ed Hall.. (dang that boy is uglier than I am…) I never take advice from people who chose to ignore the right of others.. The new laws do not constitute their right to destroy freedom and re-word the Constitution.. Ed Hall is a dip-(road apple), so is John Morse for getting him or allowing him to get involved.. Shows John Morse knows he stabbed his constituency in the back.. All the more reason for him to go…
This guy needs to be voted out of office ASAP!
He looks like he smells crap…It is probably his own nasty breath!
There are a lot of good people in CO Springs, and a lot of them are good and thoughtful conservatives. But were they to be doing a better job policing the 'nut-jobs', maybe CO Springs wouldn't have this reputation.
Conversely, were the good and thoughtful progressives in Boulder to be doing a better job policing their left wing nut jobs, perhaps it wouldn't be known as 'The People's Republic of Boulder'.
And as to Mr. Hall's messaging abilities, they need work.
The tactics of 'scare the little people' don't work here Mr. Hall. That stuff only works on deviant personalities like yours. Perhaps you should let Mr. Morse actually face the fact that he squatted and pooped all over his constituents. Perhaps he could actually explain why he stopped Coloradoans from their testimony on March 4th….But, he's I certain too busy to deal with the 'little people'.
and this is the party leading the country, God, please help us.
