When Senate President John Morse referenced a car wreck in his odd opening day speech, little did any of us know that it would also be a metaphor for his handling of the session ahead.
More on this when we list our losers (check back on Monday). But we couldn’t wait to tell you who else called Morse a big fat L.
From The Denver Post‘s Winners and Losers:
Senate President John Morse.
He sponsored an ill-defined liability-for-guns bill that couldn’t muster support from his own Democratic caucus, and pushed a bill to grant tax credits to low-income Coloradans that was greatly watered down in the House. Morse also backed a telecommunications regulation bill and legislation allowing for the repeal of marijuana legalization that he couldn’t find enough votes for. Meanwhile, his outspoken support of gun control prompted a recall effort against him — unlikely though it may be.
yeah but not for long……. bye bye johnny!
Unfortunately he represents the face of politics……………..
ahhhhh…..John Morse……Fountain booted him. He slid into office thru a 3 party race which he won by 300 votes but lost if you look at the over all vote tally…. You'd think he'd be more receptive to listening to the people in his District that being the case. But the guy is a pompus ass. He's one of the idiots you see screaming that gun violence is UP when EVERY stat on the planet shows it is DOWN….. LITTERALLY….. You can't trust a politician that will look you in the eye……tell you that he knows what's best for you…..and you know that it's a bald face lie…… John Morse is THAT PERSON. He thinks the people he represents are morons. You don't need the proof in his words because we all know that "actions" define the stature of any person. And John Morse's actions…… his complete and total denial of any input from his Constituency shows what he thinks of them….. John Morse is done in Colorado. And he is just the first step in a series of steps….. Others in the State Legislature had better wake up and stop this march towards Socialism….towards a California type of Corruption driven system of Government where Deficit Driven Agenda's and pandering to the lowest common denominator is the norm. Udall and Bennet better get agenda's straighted out as well. Hickenlooper signed his political death warrent when he signed the anti-2nd Amendment legislation and allowed the Hypocrisy to happen from Morse, Fields, Hudak, Giron and others….. These people can run….but they can't hide…..
