I don't know that. But I do know this, that in his heart, he's not an American. He's just not an American." ... http://articles.nydailynews.com/2012-05-17/news/31753359_1_president-obama-gop-congressman-barack-obama

Hopefully he can boot Coffman out for good!

3. Uggh... I once worked and traveled on mutual business with his now wife...

I detested him then (he was in the CO Sec of State then) but had to bite my tongue the entire time--to be professional, ya know. She was pleasant enough, but a real opportunist and is obviously a RW drone.

5. Do you EVER hear democrats talking like this????

They don't go around saying "this state is the real America, that other state is not" or "I'm a real American, my opponent hates this country" and on and on and on...

Nope.

It's only the god-damned repubs who talk this kind of bullshit. And talking that kind of bullshit is...
