Liberal editorial writer (registered Democrats for 15 years) for the Gazette Barry Noreen wrote an endorsement of Doug Lamborn masquerading as an op-ed. Barry was struggling with why two Republicans might be challenging Doug for the Republican nomination. Examples of Doug Lamborn’s embarrassing actions and statements and his ineffectiveness clutter the Gazette archives. Here are the top ten:
Doug Lamborn’s record in Congress:
10. Voted with Michael Vick to not increase penalties for dog and cock fighting.
9. Failed to win enough support in Congress to expand Pinon Canyon.
8. Failed in his foolish idea to make Pike’s Peak a National Monument.
7. Shamelessly took credit due Senator Wayne Allard for an ICE office coming to Colorado Springs.
6. Shamelessly took credit due Senator Wayne Allard for bringing a new Division to Fort Carson.
5. Caught on voicemail threatening constituents over a letter to the editor he didn’t like.
4. Caught on videotape telling a voter “Excuse me sir, why don’t you keep your mouth shut.”
3. Wasted $100,000 of taxpayer’s money on slick re-election mail including his photo.
2. Voted for the wasteful and government expanding Pelosi-Bush Economic Stimulus package.
1. Mistakes his voting 99% against Nancy Pelosi for effectiveness when in reality Doug Lamborn is not capable of bringing people together to get things done in Congress for our communities.
