Colorado tea party music duo splits over politics

[rox63]

Breakin' up is hard to do! :rofl:

A Colorado fife-and-drum duo that became a fixture at tea party gatherings has split up over political differences.

Fife player John Weins, of Johnstown, says he has parted ways with snare drummer Mel Hilgenberg because the two strongly disagreed over candidates for Larimer County sheriff.

Weins and Hilgenberg performed as the Liberty Leaders, wearing tri-cornered hats and other Revolutionary War-era garb.

Weins owned the costumes and drum and says he'll continue to perform with a new drummer.

Both members of the erstwhile Liberty Leaders told the Fort Collins Coloradoan that the duo's breakup shows the friction between moderately right-of-center Republicans and more conservative Republicans.

2. Alas, I'm crying big tears. Politics between the radicals and the loons.

3. Ah, marchin' to the beat of a different drummer...

4. If 'liberal' is a dirty word,

Can we replace 'conservative' with "constipated"? For all practical purposes, they mean the same thing. I'm looking forward to seeing one right-winger trying to do the other by yelling "No, I'm the one who is more constipated!"

Conservative ====> Constipative Now that's MUCH more descriptive! :bounce:

5. In other words, one wants to end Social Security and Medicare and the other is on SS & Medicare.

8. I wonder which one will get Sarah Palin's tweeted endorsement...

11. “Excuse me. Are you the Liberty Leaders?”

“Fuck off! We're the Leaders of Liberty!”
