There’s More To This Nefarious Bicycle Plot
Yesterday’s asshat of the day was Colorado GOP gubernatorial candidate Dan Maes for revealing the UN’s secret plot to use bicycles to turn us all into commies or something. Dan Maes did a subsequent appearance where he explained in detail more about this secret plot:
The group to which Maes was referring, the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives, is an association with more than 1,200 communities as members, half of which are in the United States. Denver became a member in 1992.
…
“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.
Maes’ campaign said the candidate was illustrating the “larger picture of what this organization represents” and its “extreme” views on global warming.
Nate Strauch told The Associated Press that Maes was trying to say that the biking initiative is a “gateway program” being pushed by ECLEI on cities that eventually lead to extreme measures, such as the promotion of abortions and population control.
Encouraging people to bike to work is a slippery slope that will lead to abortions. I’m glad Dan Maes is here to warn us of this danger. Maes knows this sounds crazy, but he’s unafraid to tell you the truth.
Maes said he thought promoting more bicycling was pretty harmless at first, but he realized later “that’s exactly the attitude they want you to have.”
“It’s all part of this population control mentality that we as humans are the disease,” Strauch said, adding: “He never said that biking is inherently wrong.”
Dan Maes, true American patriot.

Promoting bicycling to work leads to abortions is right up there with cutting taxes for the wealthy puts more money in the pockets of poor people, and if I go on a diet, maybe you will lose weight.
that will probably be the funniest thing I read all day
Sad thing for the GOP in Colorado is that both of their primary candidates are damaged goods (Maes is batshit crazy, has been fined for missing filing deadlines, and has exaggerated his business background and McInnis is a serial plagiarist) and Tom Tancredo is running as a third party candidate. What could have been an GOP pickup is going to be a sure Democratic hold. Welcome to the NGA, John Hickenlooper.
I think the Colorado Republicans are probably in danger of losing the Senate race as well. Bennett, the appointed Senator, is not especially well-known and faces a huge primary fight with Andrew Romanoff. The two GOP Senate candidates are Ken Buck and Jane Norton. Norton is the establishment pick and she’s had to act batsh%t insane for the primary. Buck is just batsh%t insane (but he called birthers dumbasses). Last polling I saw had Buck ahead (don’t hold me to this). Even if Norton survives she’s going to have to share the top of the ticket with Maes or McInnis and have to deal with Tancredo’s 3rd party bid for governor.
…“gateway program” being pushed by ECLEI on cities that eventually lead to extreme measures, such as the promotion of abortions and population control.”
WTF!
Being from CO, I am following the elections closely. My brother is working for Romanoff, but if I was there, I’d probably be supporting Bennet (note, one “T.”) The only reason Romanoff is running is that he was passed over for the appointment to the Senate and for the vacant Secretary of State position.
Buck was leading Norton by 9 points in the last poll. She had to petition her way onto the ballot because she was afraid she couldn’t secure a spot at the state convention. Buck still needs to answer for putting an innocent man in prison for 10 years for a murder he didn’t commit and used tainted evidence and testimony from the Ft. Collins police.
What this means is that the Dems will hold the legislature and have the Governor’s mansion and will be able to draw the congressional districts. They will also have a majority on the commission that redraws legislative districts.

LOL… they must be taking Maes seriously – they are doing to him what CastleTomorrow is doing to O’Donnell. You don’t invest in that kind of oppo research unless you feel threatened.
On the videos. Maes seems like he has some kind of actual dementia. Kind of like Alvin Greene.
I gotta see one of those abortion bikes!
Well, we already knew you could lose your virginity to a bicycle seat. And prolonged bike riding can make a guy sterile, not to mention give you wicked hemorrhoids. So maybe he has a point.
“Abortion bikes” is the best new phrase ever. Abortion bikes are the new death panels – just start working them into random coversations.
@anon – I used race bicycles and still ride a lot. Never had ‘roids and I’m definitely not sterile.
Maes is the teabaggers favorite and surprised everyone by beating McInnis at the GOP convention with 57% of the vote, McInnis being a former Congressman who had been recruited to run for the Senate in 2008. It’s not so much that they take him seriously, but in CO, it’s the wingnut wing of the GOP that comes out to vote in primaries, and this year it’s a mail-in ballot.
xstryker, remember kids used to clip a playing/baseball card on the rear of a bike partly into the spokes so it would make a kind of “revving” sound? Same principle for the abortion bike but I install a wet/dry vac.
