"DENVER - Colorado Republican gubernatorial candidate Dan Maes says a Denver bike-sharing program could threaten residents' "personal freedoms" because it is part of an attempt to control U.S. cities. He later said he is not against bicycling, but is concerned because he believes the sharing program is affiliated with an international group."

"This is bigger than it looks like on the surface, and it could threaten our personal freedoms," Maes said in comments that were first reported Wednesday by The Denver Post."

In other news, this clown is supported by three different Tea-Party groups. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/23/us/politics/23teaparty.html

Embarrassing. Why should I take tea-party types seriously again?

Any resident Tea Party fans scared of international bicycling groups too? Maybe we should withdraw from the Olympics since it is an international organization.

Wouldn't be surprised, but I did a search for maes.

We should probably kick Colorado out of the union and limit the U.S. to 56 states from now on.

And the Republicans wonder why people think they're fucking crazy.

/facepalm

GOP needs to figure out if it wants to remain in the rational realm or embrace the tea party paranoia.

Bike sharing? Obviously a Marxist/Communist/Socialist plot.

He's dumb enough to be a regular poster here. Any of the sockpuppets live in CO?

I've said it before but it bears repeating: GOP candidates, IMHO, rarely create a great case for their election on their own; rather, they mostly succeed by waiting for their Democratic opponent to screw up enough that the GOPer looks like the lesser evil. And with Dems, that never takes long.

Continuing GOP platform: offer money to the rich, something to fear for everybody else.

I agree with him. First we're sharing bikes, next we're sharing clothes and next up our kin and spouses; familial relations subjugated to the state. No personal ownership of property, no privacy. There will be TVs that watch us all the time and we are in a perpetual state of war. Even chocolate is limited and rationed to us. I think I will write a book on this, in fact.

My first thought was to chuckle. My second is that most of the younger posters here will not get the reference.

Yea, that's basically it in a nutshell.

bike sharing = nefarious plot?! 404: logic not found

 

[piasabird]

Most cities are not that Bike Friendly. So it is a bit of a mute point.
