The major political rift is within the GOP ranks. Bruce and other El Paso County politicians had said that Republicans who supported Referendum C were RINOS — Republicans in Name Only.

For Democrats, the outcome is plainly a victory because virtually every elected Democrat in the state supported the measure.

Looks like the liberals of this state pulled out all the stops. The financing to ensure passage and support from the liberal press was the nail in the coffin.

What a sad day in Colorado. Let this serve as a reminder that just because they are Republicans doesn't mean they are conservative. For everyone who voted for Owens this should be a wake up call.

It kills TABOR and gives the political poweres in office right now, Democrats, $3.7 Billion to use to pander to unions and buy votes, which may well keep the dems in power for the forseeable future.

My wife and I have planned on retiring to Colorado Springs for over 2 years. We were to move next summer. Today, in the face of evidence of the rot of progressive infestation (which is killing maine and is driving us out) we are looking elsewhere.

Maybe Boise Idaho.

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.

"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."
