Representative Boebart, (don't you just love that salutation) won her election in 2020 with 51% of the vote against a democrat that styled herself as an independent. In 2022 we won the election against a democrat that styled myself as a republican in democrat's clothing.
What is in store for 2024? a Republican that is really a democrat running in the Republican primary?
The above is not far-fetched what with Colorado's open primary system.

As long as she votes against everything Democrats are trying to do to us, I’m good with that alone. Wanting politicians to do something Is why we are in this mess. The people who run this country are incompetent and not smart enough to understand how to make this country better, or they just don’t want to.
It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers−out of unorthodoxy
I have a pretty BIG problem with her quote..."this separation of church and state is JUNK".....I have a REAL BIG PROBLEM with "Q" as a guiding light AND her real persona is the bleach blonde,with a gun strapped to her thigh (credibility is NOT a descriptive word for EVANGELIST wanna be christian)...put her on any TV show with a hard hitting interviewer (Andrea Mitchell, or Christina Anmapor and watch her pull a PALIN.
People, even politicians, are allowed to be independent thinkers. Separation of church and state is the platform of both parties. A few outliers like Boebert won't change that platform.

I remember several of my conservative friends reassuring me that Roe v Wade would not be overturned, since it was just a few in the Republican party that were trying to get rid of that right.
An automatic recount has been triggered because of the vote differential. Firsch has taken pains to point out that the recount will not change the result, he does not want it but it is statute. The recount is going to be paid for by the taxpayers.
Laura Carno has shown that there is a way to avoid the recount. That is, Firsch withdraws from the election, he has conceded but not withdrawn. She also notes that he has already filed to run in CD-3 in 2024, so a withdrawal will not look good on his resume.

So, if Frisch would like to save the good people of Colorado money, he would withdraw from the race (as opposed to a simple concession,) negating the need for the costly recount.
Guessing that a withdrawal wouldn’t be a good look for his run for CD3 in 2024. He has already filed. (end)

Personally I never expected to see Roe overturned but you should be happy. Single issue Blue abortion voters helped to prevent a Red Wave this year.
And the majority of Americans live in states where partial birth abortions are legal.

Again, what do you think a partial birth abortion is, Fred? An elective procedure or is it to protect the life of the mother?
No, I am not happy. A right that has been acknowledged for 50 years was removed from half of the population. That sets a precedent for other rights to be taken from YOU. Since you seem to be unable to recognize that, I've had to spell it out for you. What's next? Gay marriage? LGBTQ rights? Interracial marriage? Women's rights to vote? It's all on the table, Fred. You can say it will never happen, but as we've seen, this court can take away anything.
