McInnis: Pseudo-conservative?

According to the Colorado Office of Economic Development agriculture is Colorado’s second leading industry, and Southeastern Colorado alone feeds nearly a million people.

Keeping business and protecting property rights along with protecting our food supplies should be a conservative principle - don't you think?

Not so for Scott McInnis’s position on the Pinon Canyon expansion and his 'contract with Colorado' (but now he's calling it the Republican 'Platform for Prosperity').  With the failure of the Republican Platform to reverse the view that the elimination of 10,000 square miles of private property is somehow 'OK', how can anyone support him or for that matter the Republican party?

Scott McInnis' 'Platform for Prosperity' denies the opportunity for any kind of survival let alone prosperity for for all of southeast Colorado - supporting the expansion denies southeastern Colorado residents the constitutional right of private property ownership and burdens the entire state with the resultant job losses that will occur when the production of food for almost a million people is eliminated along with the elimination of more than 17,000 people (the Army's own figures).

Conservative?  Nothing could be further from the truth.
