Happy post-primaries. I thought I'd focus a little attention on the Republican side.

Republican Doug Lamborn will be running against Democrat Jay Fawcett in Colorados' Congressional District 5.

Colorado Politics asked Lamborn some questions in June 2005:
In the last session you tried to use a procedural move to stop a vote on a crimes bill (eventually allowed to become law by Governor Owens), and you attempted to introduce an amendment to allow school districts to ban employees from dressing as a member of the opposite sex.


Lamborn seems to have an anti-homosexual fetish much like Marilyn Musgrave:
There are those who would argue that gay rights are a civil rights and anti-discrimination issue, and thus should not be something that falls under governmental restrictions. How do you argue against this position that the government should not be restricting the rights of certain individuals over the rights of others? Is this counterintuitive to the smaller government argument, and if not, how do you make an argument for both smaller government and anti-gay rights?

Lamborn: I just think that everyone should be treated alike -- special rights for none and equal rights for all.


During the recent primary, the Lamborn campaign was accused by another Republican campaign of coordinating with two conservative political action committees and sending political mailers to voters alleging Republican Lionel Rivera backed ''the radical homosexual lobby.'' This started a firestorm as the Republican primary candidates all shouted I hate homosexuals more than you.

No bones about it; Lamborn is a Musgrave clone (anti-equal rights, anti-choice, anti-science, shove his religion down your throat, your not a Republican unless your MY kind of Republican conservative). Of course, Lamborn is is against stem cell research, so he cannot actually be a clone.

Support Jay Fawcett in Concressional District 5.

I greatly look forward to the debates between Jay Fawcett and Lamborn when the Democrat is able to ask the same question posed by ProgressNOw, namely how the uber conservative state senator can reconcile his support for a divisive marriage amendment that essentially writes discrimination into law while also proporting to advocate less government intrusion in people's lives. The people of the 5th district have a clear choice in this election between a candidate who celebrates diversity and the principles of which the American Constituion was drafted and the other who overlooks pressing issues that people care about most in favor of promoting his divisive social agenda. I have had an opportunity to meet Jay Fawcett and his entire campaign team and would personally intest to their integrity and his genuine desire to solve real problems. With that, I would encourage all readers to contribute to the Fawcett campaign whether it be monetarily or with your time.
