K: You know I would never be judgmental, but just look at the guy. You can tell he is a loser before he ever opens his mouth. And, once he begins to speak, he leaves absolutely zero doubt.

Re: “Long Story Short”
siggie, for once you an I are in complete, unreserved agreement.
What I find most amusing is the nimrod's desperate need to convince us that he actually has a life. His life is so full! But he still manages to find the time in his busy schedule to spend 24x7 doing nothing but monitoring this blog for every mention of his name.

Re: “Long Story Short”
I am truly interested in how this will evolve, I am hoping bridges and gravel containment can be done with the whole community.

Re: “Long story short”
Please...just let the employees of MHS have some long awaited relief and get on with what could potentially be the best thing that has happened to CO Springs in a long while. This debate has taken a course of 4 years and the employees are EXHAUSTED with the roller coaster. The city should not be involved in the health-care business, and its time to let MHS join with the world-renowned LOCAL hospitals that WANT to build something fantastic for CO Springs. How can you lose? Its a huge compliment to the hard work and quality of care the employees provide, as the CEO and CNO of UCH & Poudre Valley have been visiting our hospital and have found a number of quality programs they want to implement in their OWN hospital. We have great quality happening at MHS!! Bringing a teaching hospital here to the Springs also brings dollars to boost the local economy. Its an exciting opportunity to be a part of. Yes, losing PERA is a huge drawback for some. This has been very difficult for those individuals, made worse by the indecision we are faced with waiting for your vote. We need to be able to move in a forward direction so those individuals can do what they need to do instead of sitting in limbo as well.
We aren't about big money and corporations, we are about keeping operations local and increasing our capacity to bring even greater quality healthcare to the Springs.
Please just vote "yes". Let us go....
MHS employee

Re: “Long story short”
Colorado springs has given an outpouring of thanks to the firefighters and other responders. "Every push meets a pull". Commemorative T-shirts? News channels pushing solidarity with a facebook picture change to the CO state logo? Not much sign of evacuees at shelters or in the red cross chow line. Yes, I am thrilled to know the support waiting had it been me. Seems to me the pet shelters filled up while most of the "well to do people" didn't use shelters, were not in need of Care and Share, Red Cross or united way donations. I am not worried that Care Share will use food donations to help many not impacted by the fire. What happens to Red Cross, United way and concert donations made to help the well insured fire victims?

Re: “Long Story Short”
While you boys drink margaritas, invite in Sheriff Michael A. Ensminger. That boy can really drink you under the table, counting on his notoriety to keep him out of his own jail. Mebbe not.
http://www.thedenverchannel.com/call7inves…
It seems that our esteemed POST certifying committee, Paul Schultz under the auspices and knowledge of none other than Attorney General Suthers, has been regularly letting officers and sheriffs buy their Q&A. And they knew about it and they did nothing.
So for all you who think that Dan May (Ensminger's chief co-hort in crime) and his running buddy Suthers are above the law--well it turns out that they are.
Now tell me why it is that the local yokel TV stations are SCARED of running the real news. It takes the Denver boys to blow this out of the water. And that includes the indy, folks. Wise up and look in the local sewer where rats hide and smoke em out.

Re: “Long story short”
Corporations are not people. They should be unable to contribute--period--to political anything. This is why 1/4 of america is now a third world country. When the American dream was born it was for the individual not large corprate enties whose sole perpose is to make a profit. Small business has died in this country, we barly manufacture anything--all because of corporations. It's time to take back our country not give it away.

Re: “Long story short”
Is the overworked use of the word "that" also an example of your superior writing skills? Three times in one sentence. Wow!

Re: “Long story short”
George Bernard Shaw once pointed out that the problem for the liar is not that no one will believe him, but that he cannot believe anyone else. If I had contacted the editor and had convinced him to pull your comment, I would be the first to boast about it right here in this blog because, as you very well know, I am just that smug.

Re: “Long story short”
Mr. smartestman, you wrote, (emphasis added), "Mr. C's *believe* in his superior writing skills *are* only in his head."
I *believe* the word you are groping for is "belief!" Furthermore, as my *belief* is singular, you should have written "is" instead of "are!"
ROTFLMAO!

Re: “Long story short”
Mr. smartestman you are laboring under a misapprehension. I never contacted any editor of this blog. Some anonymous editor is assigned to read these comments as they come in, and he or she will delete any comment that he or she deems to have crossed the line. It happened to me once, but in another discussion in which you did not participate. I did see a pointer to that post on the "Comment and Review Archives" webpage, but when I clicked and checked the post was already gone. All I got to see was the opening line, something about Deadwood and the shooting of Bill Hickok.
This explains all the "running to mommy" comments. You have a tendency to jump to conclusions, which, at least in my case, are invariably wrong. You also have a tremendous ego, which you exhibit on this blog every chance you get, to believe that anything you write would send me running to anybody, except maybe to show them your latest absurdity and share a good laugh.

Re: “Long story short”
C: I still have no clue to whom you think you are talking. Here's the difference between me and you. Football analogy: C delivers a cheap shot to the nads (racist). SM retaliates with a swift kick in the arse (weasel). C cries to the coach (editor) that the game is too rough and unfair. SM likes the competition and, although would prefer it clean, likes it a bit rougher.
Mr. C has a dependent personality. He believes a bigger government will take care of his needs, caring not at all for the cost. Mr C has lost the ability to be self-reliant. He will vote for Obama.
SM believes in a much smaller government, independence, freedom, personal and fiscal responsibility. He will vote for anyone but Obama.
SM is, without question, the better fisherman. Mr. C's believe in his superior writing skills are only in his head.

Re: “Long story short”
I have no idea how big Mr. smartestman is, but that hardly matters on a blog. On a blog a big vocabulary is more of an asset than a big fist.
Mr. smartestman claims to be "better" than me. Since he does not mention a specific skill, like fishing or writing, I assume he is speaking of morals and I would not be surprised if he is a more moral person according to his own code of ethics. For example, I never attend church. I am also sure he is a better fisherman, but I am the better writer.
Finally, I never mouth off to anyone smarter than me. I listen and try to understand and learn something.

Mr. C: Didn't your mommy tell you that if you mouth off to those bigger, smarter and better than you, you are simply begging for trouble?

Re: “Long story short”
The difference between Ralph Routon and Mr. smartestman is that Ralph Routon really is an important member of our community with something valuable to say, whereas Mr. smartestman is important only in his own mind and all he can do is make a lot of noise in a childish bid for attention.

Well, well, Mr C: I thought this site was a little too tough for you. Did you run and tell mom that someone was picking on you?
