GOP Candidates Paul And Santorum Come To Springs
Presidential Hopefuls Visit Colorado

. . . . .

About 1,100 people turned out to see Ron Paul at Colorado State University on Tuesday, and some 300 people gathered to hear him speak in an airplane hanger near the Colorado Springs Airport.

Paul made no mention of Florida at CSU and didn't name any of his Republican opponents. Paul is the first Republican presidential hopeful to schedule a visit or have a headquarters in Colorado prior to the February 7th caucus.

Rick Santorum campaigned in Lone Tree Tuesday before heading to Las Vegas to await the Florida results. He will return the state in a visit to Colorado Springs on Wednesday in his "Faith Family and Freedom Tour." The event will be held at Crusaders Hall at 2221 N. Wahsatch Avenue from 7:00-9:00 p.m.


Colorado's presidential precinct caucuses are next week. The caucuses are non-binding; Colorado's 36 Republican National Convention delegates will be chosen at a state assembly held April. But the precinct caucuses can be evidence of a candidate's support.

1. I am guessing that you suffer from Coulrophobia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coulrophobia


Coulrophobia

Coulrophobia is a fear of clowns. The term is of recent origin, probably dating from the 1980s,[1] and according to one analyst, "has been coined more on the Internet than in printed form because it does not appear in any previously published, psychiatric, unabridged, or abridged dictionary," however the author later notes, "regardless of its less-than-verifiable etymology, coulrophobia exists in several lists".[2] The condition is a specific phobia (DSM-IV Code 300.29).[3]

The prefix "coulro-" may be derived from the Ancient Greek word ????ϐ??????ή? meaning "stilt-walker",[nb 1] although the concept of a clown as a figure of fun was unknown in classical Greek culture.[

3. no, I have no fear of clowns--but I have an intense loathing for obscene, hate-filled bigotry and

ignorance.

but thanks for the new word

2. Ruling out Coulrophobia (which is an obvious option)

why is this a problem?

The longer they all stay in, the longer the Night of the Sharp Knives.

4. the problem is that they are taking up MY oxygen, and messing up what would otherwise be a

halfway decent day.

it's bad enough this community is host to fungus (aka focus on the family), new life, and a host of other reichwing fundie churches. it is also host to michele malkin, doug lamborn, doug bruce and other assorted jackals.
