Wha happened BTTT !

Sheesh! We have the "republicans" backing it, what can you do? The "take my money" folks outspent the other side 3 to 1. Hell, we lost the legislature last go around.

I love Clorado, but I need out of metropolis.

combined with scaring the old people

The pro-tax minions were very successful in pushing elderly voters' fear buttons. Dire predictions of cuts in Medicare and so on were filling the airwaves. I called a lot of elderly GOP couples in the last week as part of my volunteer duties lobbying against C & D, and got a significant number of angry reactions. Typical example:

[ME]: "Hi, my name is xxxxx xxxxx and I'm a volunteer here in Ft. Collins calling on behalf of Vote No On C & D, and I would ..."

[Elderly GOP voter angrily interrupting me]: "You don't know anything! You're ignorant! You haven't read anything at all about this! ......"

Huh! Amazing how much they know about me based solely on my name and the name of the group I'm calling for.

This tax increase was voted in by blue-staters trying to escape their failed utopias.

It's been decades since I first saw this bumper sticker:

DON'T CALIFORNICATE COLORADO

Unfortunately nobody heeded it.

Why didn't all those California RINO rats who were deserting their infested stinking sinking ship go and infect Idaho or Montana or somewhere else? Why, oh why did they have to bring their diseases to my beautiful state?

I'd go out and campaign for the tightening up of border security on Colorado's western edge to turn back Californian RINOs attempting to infiltrate us. But it's too late for that any more.

Denver had a measure where taxes were increased to cover merit raises for teachers

This says less about the politics of the average Denver resident than it says about the organizing power of the teacher's unions, and the fact that they no doubt turned out in droves along with relatives and close friends who they hounded into going to the polls. Maybe there should be a law that all tax-related issues must be decided only in presidential election years when you get the highest turnouts, and never in odd-numbered years when turnout is at rock bottom.

Bruce Benson, co-chair of the Vote Yes on C and D....“Some of the folks here I don’t spend a lot of time with, and I never thought I would,” he said, pointing to a row of Democrats.

Well, they're your best buddies now, you sick scumbag.

Just goes to prove that character is the main qualification for office. It take a big man/woman to leave $4billion on the table because it's the right thing to do. Most will pocket it to make the problems fade away no matter what party. Just look at the Republican congress(and Prez) that I have waited all my life for, spending like sailors in a whorehouse. You have to believe in certain principles to be a citizen politician. Thou shalt not steal should be right up there with breathing. They believe the money is theirs in the first place.

It's a character problem, not a party problem.

"In response to the threat, House Speaker Andrew Romanoff, D-Denver, quipped, “There is an old Arabic saying: The dog barks, but the caravan moves on.” "

This remark is disgusting, and what more evidence doing we all need who's side the demonrats are on??? Why isn't them media berating him for this???

Pretty soon, if they all have their way, we will all only be allowed to quote "arabic sayings."

Sheesh! We have the "republicans" backing it, what can you do?

Take names, write them down, and make sure everybody in your whole extended family knows who these animals are, and that they need to be flushed down the toilet like foul, stinking turds in the next election. That's a start.

On the bright side, that scumbag Owens will be termed out, so you know he's going out to pasture with his public career over and dead, but there's still plenty of other pantloads who can be retired involuntarily as long as memories stay fresh and productive taxpayers outnumber the parasites at the polls.

Good luck, and FReegards,
LH

And now, I've seen reported on Fox that there is a movement to remove deductions such as mortgage interest and health insurance costs from our tax returns... what do retired Americans do, with fixed pensions, paying triple for full medical insurance til 65 yrs., and it finally wipes out the pension? I guess we all need to go back to work. We didn't need much, are happy and living well, on a BUDGET. I worry that it won't last long. Just hope I am not too old to get hired back.

It is happening everywhere, Mississippi included. (Out of state contractors bringing hundreds of illegals to clean up the Gulf Coast, paying them bogus checks, leaving them here and long gone. Now either prosecute these contrator coyetes, and deport the multitudes, or this poorest state in the Union will be lost as well. Economy is gone for the most part.)
But as for Colorado, businesses will move, jobs will be lost and there will be an economic crash. It has and is happening in Kalifornia. Most of us got out. Should be re-named, "the rape and pilage state."

State governments do not equate to "big government" in any meaningful sense. Republicans are in favor of de-federalization and reducing the influence of Washington in the lives of U.S. citizens. They are not, and have never been, opponents of statewide referenda or the collection of revenue at the state level.

The statehouse is where we want these fights to occur. You win a few and you lose a few.

"...Illegals don't vote anyway..."

Oh yes they do, and everywhere... no ID required, no voter info checks, and in case you missed it, even those already in their "after life" voted in both klintoon and Gore campaigns, of which the story never got anywhere, even after proven by investigators. Sorry.

PS.
Check for their business license, which should be posted, as well as their "health department approval." You won't find one! And they will leave imediately when approached.

True enough but the mindset is there, only a matter of time.

We are, hence my tagline. Increasingly I strive to employ your tagline.

You bring up an excellent point. I noticed that the total numbers were in the 500,000 range on state issues.
