On radio, RMGO’s Brown talks as if he owns the GOP Senate majority

XP from GD

(Note: This is about Colorado, but this man's organization has had dire impact on our state politics; and it can be argued that his influence is, to some degree, helpful in increasing the number of wingnuts from Colorado that show up in DC, thus spreading the poison to wider audiences.)

---snip----

...Brown talked as if he has more of a right to interfere in gun legislation at the state Capitol than the Independence Institute has because RMGO bought and paid for the state GOP Senate majority. And he went on about it, implying he’d organize primaries against five Republicans who voted against a violation of state Senate rules yesterday.

----snip----

"It’s our organization and our PAC that spent the money to elect the legislature and take the Senate from the Democrats. We were the biggest funders of Republican candidates in the last election. Far bigger than the NRA."

This is the guy who engineered the state senate recalls, with the cooperation of a number of our sheriffs (including one who is now a member of the senate). Gives me the willies knowing that I live scant miles from this creep.

"Dave Kopel a Democrat and Jon Caldara a moderate." This guy is to the right of Genghis Khan, no wonder we lost good Democrats in the recall. This power is really scary.
