I think it's time to primary John Hickenlooper. [View all]

I absolutely am TIRED of him pretending to be a Democrat when he is:

Very pro-fracking - very well, Colorado Legislature should divert all of the fracking wastewater to his Wynkoop Brewery and see how *HE* likes the beer with the contaminated water.

Anti-marijuana - he is stalling on making Amendment 64 which was passed into law. He has until Jan 5th to do that, or it becomes law without his approval.

Busting the Occupy Denver folks - I think both Mayor Hancock and John Hickenlooper are both responsible for it, but ultimately it was Hickenlooper's decision to bust it.

I can't seem to think of any other anti-Democratic behavior I've seen on Hickenlooper. I don't know what his ratings are like, but it has not been close to my approval. In fact, if there was no other choice, I'd pick Hickenlooper - but I wouldn't be happy about it.

Also, the U.S. Attorney General, John Walsh, also needs to tender his resignation before Amendment 64 becomes law, because it's legal in Colorado, but the AG doesn't approve it and will send the DoJ thugs to raid dispensaries.

The federal law against marijuana is an easy fix - all President Obama has to do is remove cannabis from scheduling - PERMANENTLY.

Then the DoJ has no business raiding dispensaries and scaring the pot grannies.
