I've griped about Dave Schultheis a couple of times before. Now he's garnering broader attention by saying more and more outlandish things. Who would have thought, without ol' Dave to point it out, that AIDS in infants is a good thing?
That doesn't mean the bill he was opposing was necessarily a good one. This blog post makes a strong argument that it's not. It's just that Dave was opposing it for all the wrong reasons.
At least he's not alone in his bigotry. He now has Scott Renfroe to keep him company.
If you can't believe anyone would say such things and you have another six minutes to waste on this scurrilous garbage, here are Renfroe's actual remarks as recorded on the Senate floor. I have to warn you, though, that he makes even George W. seem eloquent, so it's sort of painful to listen to.
Colorado Democrats have been gleefully pointing out how, with the Governor, the Secretary of State, the Treasurer, both U.S. Senators, most of the U.S. representatives, and majorities in both chambers of the general assembly all in our corner, Colorado has gone blue. We've come a long way, it's true, but let's not get too sanguine. Those who would take away our freedom and establish a reactionary theocracy have not given up or gone away.
