I used to live in Colorado. I lived there for 22 years. I totally agree.
Like so many blue states, they keep voting for more and more blue-ish governments and can not figure why they get deeper and deeper into trouble.
Electorate brains do not seem common to these states.
Colorado was Californicated.
California parasites moving in for 20 years does this.
I'd bet that a huge percentage of Colorado's voters are migrants from Kalifornia.
It's almost cliche by now but I think I see the problem here.
Happened in California too - in the 80s.
It’s been downhill ever since and we now have a deep blue government and $5.00/gallon gas.
To see your future, Colorado, look no further than the mess that is California.
My son just moved to Colorado Springs. He’s the farthest from a liberal you can get.
California metastasis.
Same here lived there 50 years Aurora and Greeley. Glad to be out of there left in 2014. Miss the mountains.

The Dodgers are now the home team when they play in Coors Field
Reminds me of the downhill slide for my home state of Oregon.
What an awesome red state growing up!!!
But, Californication started in the 70’s....
By the late 90’s, the libtardian infestation and takeover was a foregone conclusion.
Good riddance in 2009. Will never go back.
“A bottom-10 destination for people moving in from other states.”
Oh look, a silver lining.
Heh, heh. Commence flaming .
