Beauprez advocates sales tax hike

How bad a candidate is Both Ways Bob Beauprez?

So bad, he advocated eliminating gas taxes and replacing them with a statewide 1% sales tax increase, which is a great idea if your goal is to slow the economy while sucking up to Hummer owners.

So bad, he told us he was going to spend September in Washington DC, yet Colorado Confidential reports that so far he has skipped every single vote this month.

So bad, he called Ritter's record as district attorney "disgusting," despite the fact that Ritter has been endorsed by a huge, bipartisan coalition of police officers, district attorneys and victims' advocates. Perhaps Beauprez would like to tell the Colorado Fraternal Order of Police his feelings?

So bad, Ritter out-fundraised him in August by nearly a 3-to-1 margin, according to The Colorado Springs Gazette. Beauprez raised $216,520 in August; Ritter $606,000.

UPDATE: So bad that the latest numbers at ToTheRight show Ritter winning this thing by more than 10 points.

The Beauprez sales tax solution is no surprise. This way even those who can't afford cars and those who are committed to driving the most gas efficient cars will have to subsidize the wealthy and their luxury rides. From economic policy to the sacrifices they require of other people's children to "stay the course" in Iraq, this has been the modern GOP elite's answer to everything; Bleed the middle, exploit the poor, anything to save millionaires and billionaires a dime.

Boy. I can't wait until Ritter puts him out of a job. He is one of the worst political minds in the state. Period.

Ms. Jones,

I realize how self-serving this sounds, but you can always vote for Dawn Winkler, the Libertarian nominee. She is polling six or seven percent, I think.
