Soros, Steyer, and Democracy Alliance Work to Retake Colorado
Washington Free Beacon ^ | August 5, 2016 | Lachlan Markay

The Democratic Party’s top donors are pouring money into Colorado political groups, drawing attention to state legislative contests and ballot fights that could affect the redrawing of key congressional districts, public records show.

Billionaire hedge fund managers George Soros and Tom Steyer are steering money to Colorado state senate candidates, while the Democracy Alliance, a leading left-wing donor club created ten years ago by four wealthy Colorado Democrats, provides financing for an interconnected network of Democrat-aligned political groups.

Campaign finance data reveals how the Alliance and its top donors are implementing a strategy conceived last year to retake power at the state level from Republicans, who have dominated state legislative and gubernatorial contests during the Obama presidency.

From Red to Purple to Blue. Is this what legalizing POT does?

From what I saw about Colorado’s Republican party and their “primary” process, the Democrats don’t have far to go to convert those “concern” Republican souls over to the dark side. Same thing goes for Utah.

I wonder what these traitors are thinking now about Ted Cruz......

“Is this what legalizing POT does? “

We’re glad you’re concerned about Pot in Colorado. The problem is that we are being inundated by Californians and New Yorkers. It was a New York transplant that got elected to our legislature and with Bloomberg’s help got the damned magazine ban passed. So no, it’s not about the Pot although that weighs heavily on many Freepers minds.

Soros should be tried and death penaltied for bribing and interfering in state government.

Colorado is soon to be a single payer hell hole.

More monopoly, more central power, is there a state not decending into a black hole?

The Democracy Alliance should be called CPUSA.

The most activist members of the Colorado Banana Republican Party despise the voters. They were very explicit about this when they appeared recently in a local forum where they demanded that the failed system be retained so that they can use it again in 2020. This November, we'll see if the voters feel the same way about the Party as the Party feels about them.

Yet the Dems constantly say that they want to take the big money out of politics. Only if it doesn’t benefit them.

So no, it’s not about the Pot

Don't be so quick about that. They are coming in droves for it. Mostly Bernie types.

Most of the people who moved into my area on the Range are originally from New York, New Jersey, or their parents were. And yes, most of them are potheads in their ‘60s and ‘70s, drawing big government-related pensions.

So what can we do to stick a broomstick in their bicycle spokes?

I suppose there will be a lot of Rotten Cankles supporters at Trump’s appearance in Grand Junction.
