At least that is the impression I get from reading <a href=\"http:\/\/gazette.com\/liberal-group-calls-john-morse-worst-politician-in-country\/article\/1506019\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this editorial in yesterday&#8217;s edition.<\/a> The editorial discusses Morse and his purported liberal leanings. They note that the Marijuana Policy Project, a leading organization pushing for the legalization of pot, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.marijuana.com\/news\/2013\/08\/mpps-gang-of-8-the-worst-state-legislators-of-2013\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">has named Morse <\/a>their &#8220;#1 worst state legislator in the United States&#8221; for trying to sneak a bill through the legislature that would have, in effect, repealed Colorado&#8217;s voter-approved initiative on marijuana. The Gazette says that Morse is not a liberal but an authoritarian politician.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tr_bq\"><p>\n<i>Liberals in Colorado&#8217;s 11th Senate District should understand that Morse is not a genuine liberal. Rather, he governs as an equal-opportunity authoritarian.<\/i><br \/>\n<i><br \/><\/i><br \/>\n<i>That&#8217;s why he may become the first state politician in Colorado history to be recalled.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\nAnd the second quote from the editorial which really summarizes what this recall election is all about.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tr_bq\"><p>\n<i>This recall isn&#8217;t a battle of right versus left, conservative versus liberal. It&#8217;s a citizen effort to end the reign of a politician who views the public &#8211; even his most liberal constituents &#8211; as fodder for the elite political class in Washington, Denver and New York.<\/i>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Gazette of Colorado Springs seems to get Senate President John Morse (D-Colorado Springs) and his motivation.
