Marshall, Beauprez attempt to out-nasty Rowland

Janet Rowland, the Republican nominee for lieutenant governor, evoked a storm of criticism Monday with her history of nasty comments about homosexuals and non-evangelicals. Yesterday, Both Ways Bob Beauprez and his campaign manager John Marshall raced to say even nastier things.

First, Marshall attacked Democratic activists:

"They're bed-wetting, pampered liberals," Marshall said. "No one cares what they say about anything. They have no credibility."

Then Beauprez - who as a two-term congressman voted to approve huge expansions of the federal government and the national debt - attacked himself:

"I look around and think government is typically the problem."

Does Beauprez think Colorado's voters are stupid? We've seen how he voted in congress. And we don't expect him to suddenly become fiscally responsible after we hand him the keys to our state.
