I doubt he would come to say, Texas or Oklahoma, to spew his views.......

He’s preaching to the choir in most of Colorado.

The hell he is.

Gun control backlash in CO.

Sheriff Maketa releases statement regarding gun control stance

Historically, any citizen would be allowed to speak if they arrived at the Capitol early and signed up on testimony records. Although sign up sheets were in place and citizens including myself signed up, we were completely disregarded. Minutes after I signed up to testify, I learned a different process would be utilized and testimony was based on three categories: experts, preferred witnesses, and public witnesses. No explanation was provided to define expert or preferred witness. I was told this decision was made by the senate president and the chairperson of the hearing committee. Additionally, experts would have no time constraints and all others would be restricted to three minutes.

As I made my way out of the Capitol, I was shocked at the number of people who attended these hearings. It's estimated the number of people in attendance reached 1,000. I spoke to several and was told they just wanted their voice to be heard.

I am not sharing this because of the outcome of the hearings that day; rather I am sharing this because of the process implemented and the faces of all those citizens that were never permitted to participate in the process. Government is supposed to be by the people, for the people and on this day, they were crushed and kicked to the side. Special interest coalitions and hand picked experts with no relevant expertise trumped our citizens.

President You Didn't Build That is preaching to the choir in Denver, which wants to be the San Francsico of the Rocky Mountains, but not Colorado.

No, there are still lots of Conservatives left in Colorado. He is preaching to Boulder and Denver. Just watch the recalls if you think Colorado is done for.

That was an irresponsible insult. If I could do anything about the left coasters and mexicans that infest the Boulder-Denver area, or stop voting scams 250 miles away, believe me, I would.

My county voted 75% for mittens. I can go weeks, sometimes months, without having to speak to a lib - and I have a retail business. I know Texans who moved back to Texas because this area is too conservative.

What's it like in your neighborhood? Take a look at Austin and some of your own rat conclaves and clean them up before you start throwing stones.

The Hell he is, +1. This is not New Jersey, which will become very evident in 2014.
