DC: Democratic presidential candidate John Hickenlooper signed a No Fossil Fuel Pledge, then crossed his name out when explained the details of the pledge.
While speaking to prospective voters at a local bar in Newmarket, New Hampshire, Hickenlooper stepped into an awkward situation when one audience member asked if he would sign the No Fossil Fuel Pledge — an oath not to knowingly accept campaign donations of over $200 from the oil, gas and coal industry.
The former Democratic governor, at first, quickly agreed to sign the pledge, and even took it a step further by saying he would not accept any dollar amount from fossil fuel corporations.
“I’m crossing out the $200,” Hickenlooper told the audience. “I’m not going to take any corporate donations at all.”
However, when Griffin Sinclair-Wingate, a member with the New Hampshire Youth Movement, later clarified to Hickenlooper that the pledge included not just corporations, but individuals tied to fossil fuel companies as well, the Democratic candidate crossed his name out and said it was an “impossible” pledge to abide by.
“We get a thousand checks a day. People write them all the time,” he said. “How can I sign this? You’ve made an impossible thing to sign if someone is going to run a race.” more here
No democrats. No rinos. No exceptions.
Did the people who came up with the “pledge” walk to the event? And everywhere else they need to go? Do they use solar ovens to cook all their food? Yeah, that’s what I thought.
Comrade Clueless must have grown some brain cells. I wish he had signed a pledge not to share his pathetically lame sex life with everybody.
What a Leppo.
🎶On the first day of the journey…
Look. There will not be a straight white male candidate winning the Democrat nomination. Period. Full stop.
Robert Francis O’Dourke, the fake Mexican, won’t get it either, in spite of crisscrossing the country in a sombrero singing La Cucaracha.
Democrats will go through the desert on a downtrodden minority horse with no identifiable gender before they go through the desert on a white male horse named Hickenlooper.
Hinkenlooper: “NO MORE FOSSIL FUELS!!!”
Aide: “whisper whisper whisper…”
Hinkenlooper: “I THOUGHT IT MEANT OLD PEOPLE COULDN’T DRIVE!”
“Chicken Lopper”
We need a nickname for him.
His college degree is in geology….Gee, does that have anything to do with fossil fuels?….He’s a rat shit bastard….
Life imitates art. Ecactly the same message as almost every Democrat candidate. Who can tell me that he isn’t five decades late? Go to 1:30

The face on the Art Linkletter character is absolutely priceless. Dice and Frogleggs need this clip to work their magic with.

Newmarket NH is democrat central. It is a small main street town that is an easy 15 minute stroll from one end of the town to the other. You have professors of the university living there and the revitalized manufacturing factories turned into lofts for the artisans and enlightened young professionals who work in nearby Portsmouth.
He actually worked as a Petroleum Geologist before he was laid off and became a successful businessman in Denver with the Wynkoop Brewery in LoDo. Now, Comrade Clueless can’t even defend the capitalist system that afforded him the opportunity to become wealthy enough to take up politics as a sideline occupation.
The looper will be crucified on a fossil fuel cross. Such a hepatic can not be tolerated by the eco Spanish Inquisition as run by AOC.
Lickenpooper.
That’s all I got.
Chickenpooper
THEY HATE FOSSIL FUELS….
except for the delicious taxes they bring in…
Like an oath performed by a politician means anything.
The fact that he signed it should keep him
out of any government position of any kind;
FOREVER.
That boy, I say that boy is a salesman’s dream!
He’ll sign anything!
“We need a nickname for him.”
What is a Hickenleppo, Alex.
Dick in pooper?
My 27 YO son has sense enough to first read before he signs – the former gov. of Colorectal doesn’t?
Besides, that state is all in on the cannabis industry to save them.
