Beauprez makes me search for synonyms for "lie"
I'm pretty rough on Republican gubernatorial nominee Both Ways Bob Beauprez. But when I write that he can't hold a position for more than two minutes, it's because he can't. You see, I have the truth on my side.
The Beauprez campaign doesn't have that asset. All it has is mendacity. Like this whopper I archived off of the Beauprez blog today:
The Associated Press reported over the weekend that Bill Ritter has had a change of heart on amnesty. According to the AP, Bill Ritter opposes "any amnesty that would automatically make an illegal immigrant a citizen."
Of course, the Beauprez camp doesn't provide a single example of Ritter supporting "any amnesty that would automatically make an illegal immigrant a citizen." And the article doesn't say anything about Ritter having a change of heart. Beauprez's post is just baldfaced prevarication.
So where does Ritter stand? On a national level he supports President George W. Bush's plan to make illegal immigrants go to the back of the line and earn their way to citizenship. And on a state level, he has articulated a clear position, which includes support of our legislature's immigration package, the strictest standards in America.
I'm sure this won't be the only falsehood Beauprez speaks in the next few months. But it looks like Ritter will have plenty of opportunities to make sure the voters know the truth. The Rocky Mountain News reports that Ritter has already bought $850,000 worth of fall advertising time on Colorado TV stations. But who can wait that long, right?

Just returned from the Salida area and 'Both Ways' signs are up throughout that area. Unfortunatley not one for Ritter.
Many seem to vote based on bumper stickers and signs and don't take the time to discover the truth. Thanks for sharing facts supported by source links. 'Both Ways' does not deserve a vote but no doubt his double speak and bumper sticker will get him some.
