Re: “Police chief: Looking at helicopters and drones”
i'm sure the homeland security will help bolster the defenses against the populace if requested. the guise of looking for fires is a good idea.

Re: “New Coloradan eyes governor's race”
the loopy one. "after all we're only human, anyone can make a mistake". comments by the loopy one about the fire his arson squad started that ended the lives of two elderly persons. resulting in no jail time or job loss. the drinking of "fracking fluid" to prove it's harmlessness. after the drinking of his own beer, how could anyone tell? when one sits back and looks at the "accomplishments" of the loopy one, one can only hope and pray someone steps up and replaces this fool.

Re: “New Coloradan eyes governor's race”
I should add, it is perfectly fine to be liberal, especially for the "underground" paper in every city. It is kind of your job. However, unlike Westword (Denver) who celebrates their liberalism and has fun with it, you guys think you actually do serious work. Here's the rub: you can't have it both ways. If you want to do serious work, you have to be fair. Otherwise, it is simply a very poor joke.

Re: “UPDATE: Marijuana: Local delivery company raided by police”
This is completely outrageous and I hope everyone rises upo against this injuststic- a company follows the already-murky rules of selling marijuana and the police bust them and talk anout 16 yrs in prision or life in jail? They didnt even do anything wron except break a few minor laws regarding the sale of pot and they are chargedn with the sme crimes as someone who rapes or kill THIS IS INJUSTICE!!

Re: “New Coloradan eyes governor's race”
Pam, in all fairness (something you know so little about) and with an eye for alliteration (you know, something to make your 'stuff' a little more palatable) couldn't we refer to Tancredo as a right-wing wacko, since the libs kind of own liberal, lefty "loon"?
You guys at the Indy remind me of MSNBC. You don't even try to put on airs of balance.

Re: “Mayor Bach: Recreational marijuana is 'public-safety issue'”
TT -- Wow, you are a real piece of work! Like I said earlier, I think you would be surprised at the true demographics of the pot-using communities (medical and recreational). Perhaps you should pull your head out long enough to take a good look around and get a grasp on some reality. Considering that you've shared your imaginative picture of me, I think I'll share mine of you: An overweight, unhealthy, friendless slob, slouched in front of computer day and night with nothing better to do than to try to jazz up those of us who actually try to have an educated, open-minded, and civil discourse on a myriad of current-day topics.
I have much better things to do than deal with a mental midget such as yourself, so good luck to you and bu-bye.

Re: “Want to support John Morse?”
happyfew: If removing Morse is not the will of the majority, then he will keep his job. He only won because the Libertarian split the opposition vote. Remember, the majority of Colorado district 11 voters voted against Morse in the last election. There is a difference between plurality and majority. Morse should have kept that in mind when casting his votes on issues, and he should have been more moderate in his push for the Democrat agenda. Background checks probably would have been OK to most voters, but his "liability bill" went way too far, and his arrogant attitude just added fuel the fire.

Re: “Want to support John Morse?”
happy: enjoy you delusions and "happyfew" more days as a loony left liberal. Your corrupt politicians won't last much longer. Morse isn't the only one that should fear a recall. Your boy Obama's days are numbered as well. What an arrogant, elitist sleaze-bag you and your "I want everything given to me" ilk elected.
Oh, by the way, in neither case, Morse or Obama, did a majority of the people vote them in.

Re: “Want to support John Morse?”
Thanks for the response. I live in Colorado Springs, and I am involved in the recall effort of John Morse. I was also at the capitol building in Denver on the day of the Judiciary Committee hearing. I had a seat in the hearing room, was signed up to testify, and was personally excluded from the debate process. In fact, everyone was excluded. Not a single private citizen (except the "expert witnesses") was given a chance to testify. I wrote many letters to representatives and senators on both sides of the issue. Almost every opponent of the bill took the time to respond to my letters, only about half a dozen supporters of the bills responded. John Morse did not respond. Then I heard the interview with Morse on the Rachel Maddow show where he specifically said that he didn't read constituents emails or letters and that he had directed "his" senators to ignore them as well. A bit of research showed me that Morse had won his district with only 340 votes, and that the Libertarian running as a third party had gotten over 1200 votes. To me that meant that the majority of Colorado Springs district 11 probably doesn't support gun control. If Morse had listened to his constituents, he might have known that. But since he chose to ignore them, and instead follow party lines and the will of outside forces (Bloomberg and Biden) I felt that he was not a true representative of the people. When I read about the recall effort against Morse, I went to a meeting to learn more. At the time there was very little funding, and things were getting a slow start, but I decided that this would empower the citizens of Colorado Springs to have a voice, so I volunteered to help the effort. Since then, the majority of funding has come from "I am Created Equal", a local effort that started before the bills were passed to educate people on the pending gun legislation. To this date, the only NRA help that I am aware of is that they sent out mailers to D11 residents telling them of the effort. This is a grassroots effort started by outraged citizens. It is not a knee jerk reaction to background checks, it is a groundswell of outrage by a citizenry who feels ignored by their elected leaders.

Re: “Want to support John Morse?”
This man is the liberal equivalent of Bach with the same questionable ethic and integrity issues in his past and present and needs to be removed from office.

Re: “Want to support John Morse?”
Kevin: Wow, that was just a bit preachy. So, in your mind, the right to recall is nothing more than micromanaging "every single thing a legislator does"? I personally believe that elected officials should have a little fear of the electorate. If you don't like the recall process, perhaps it is you that should "look into writing and sponsoring a Constitutional amendment".
