Memorandum

Wednesday, February 10, 2010

To: Colorado Republican Leaders

From: Dick Wadhams, State Chairman

Subject: INTERESTING DEVELOPMENTS

The Washington Post has a very significant piece about the movement of the “generic ballot” in several recent national polls that is very encouraging news for Republicans.

This is not the time for a victory lap but it does show that the 2010 playing field will be much more hospitable for Republican candidates than we faced in 2006 and 2008.

Inherited

Broomfield GOP — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 03:30:12 +0000

This from an email I received today – EF.

I’m Sick of “Inherited”
The Washington Post babbled again today about Obama inheriting a huge deficit from Bush, blah blah blah. Amazingly enough, a lot of people swallow this nonsense.
So once more, I’ll try a short civics lesson.
Budgets do not come from the White House. They come from Congress, and the party that controlled Congress since January 2007 is the Democratic Party. They controlled the budget process for FY 2008 and FY 2009, as well as FY 2010 and FY 2011. In that first year, they had to contend with George Bush, which caused them to compromise on spending, when Bush somewhat belatedly got tough on spending increases. For FY 2009, though, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid bypassed George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government running until Barack Obama could take office. At that time, they passed a massive omnibus spending bill to complete the FY 2009 budgets.

And where was Barack Obama during this time? He was a member of that very Congress that passed all of these massive spending bills, and he signed the omnibus bill as President to complete FY 2009.

Let’s remember what the deficits looked like during that period:

If the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the FY 2007 deficit, the last of the Republican budgets. That deficit was the lowest in five years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending. After that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that includes Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets. If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself. In a nutshell, what Obama is saying is, “I inherited a deficit that I voted for and then I voted to expand that deficit four-fold since January 20th.”
WAKE UP, AMERICA, BEFORE ITS TO LATE!!!

Young Republicans

Broomfield GOP — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 13:32:56 +0000

I attended the monthly meeting of the Denver Metro Young Republicans (DMYR) last night (Tuesday the 26th). As always, we non-young Republicans are well received by the next generation of our party leaders and it’s always a fun time to network with like-minded activists. Their leader, Brett Moore, runs a tight ship. We heard from many candidates and I was privileged to be on a panel with 6 other county chairs. We discussed what is happening in our respective counties and took questions from the audience. The venue is Hamburger Marys on 17th Ave — check it out (the Link is on the LINKS column – DMYR). Our own David Pigott was there representing Broomfield. A new Broomfielder was there as well, volunteered and is anxious to get to work.

Tancredo Grills Penry

Broomfield GOP — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 16:00:19 +0000

Yesterday on the Mike Rosen show, hour 3, Tom Tancredo (guest host) grilled Josh Penry on his endorsement of Jane Norton. Regardless of your position on Senate candidates, it is interesting radio posing questions we should ask of all the candidates. During hour 2, our own Gary from Precinct 13 called in relative to the same subject. Check it out.KOA850_Audio
