Colorado Repub Maes: Dem's Support For Bikes Is A U.N. Plot

I kid you not:freak:

The front-runner for the Republican nomination in the Colorado governor’s race is causing a stir with claims that his likely Democratic opponent, Mayor John Hickenlooper of Denver, is bringing the city under United Nations control by promoting bike riding and other sustainability measures.

“This is all very well-disguised, but it will be exposed,” Dan Maes, a Tea Party favorite, told supporters at a recent campaign rally, according to The Denver Post.

Questioned by a Post reporter, Mr. Maes said that his comments referred to Denver’s membership in the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives, a coalition of roughly 1,200 member cities from nearly 70 countries that was founded to promote sustainable development.

1. Cycling is HUGE in Colorado* and this idiot is alienating them

There are not a lot of Republicans in that part of the population and this idiot is ensuring that there will be less of them.

*Colorado had more bicycle shops per capital than any other state, according to Bicycling Magazine.
