Hickenlooper missed his chance on Amazon tax

I have long advocated a law that, just as parents can be liable for the acts of their minor children, anyone employing illegal aliens should be liable for their crimes. In this case, Hickenlooper should be prosecuted for the murder committed by his employee.

Hickenlooper said Bennet was a pretty independent, middle of the road kind of guy

Wow. Bennet is third generation East Coast, establishment Democrat, from a family that has held senior positions in Democrat administrations.

Hickenlooper is apparently like many liberals, from the perspective of his echo chamber he thinks he and those like him are "middle of the road."

And an illegal with a criminal record.

That horrific murder put an end to looper’s hopes of running for Governor. Altho years have passed I doubt he will ever be a candidate.

I hope if Hickenlooper wins he has to deal with a Republican controlled legislature. Otherwise Colorado is doomed. We can’t survive much more of this idiocy.

And, who is the Republican opposing Hickenlooper? Where in the heck are the candidates?

Scott McInnis is the GOP front runner. If McInnis cannot be vocal today, who could think he would be passionate or vocal enough to win the governors race?

If Hickenlooper wins the governorship it will be because of three reasons. One, he was a poor candidate. Two, the Republican base stayed home. Three, he failed to win the independent voter.

I guess I could add, he may not have the balls to win. Democrats play hardball. Why Republicans still “play nice” is beyond me.

License fees increased. I don’t have the exact figure but I believe that one of mine went up by at least 1/3. The Democrats are using fees to get around TABOR.

Republicans are not innocent but still the best bet for returning to representative government. I hope people in CO do go to their caucus next week and are vocal in holding candidates feet to the fire to stop tax increases and future TABOR abuse.

I don’t know about you but every business owner I know is mad as hell. I don’t mean upset, I mean mad. I also believe this is going to get more intense over the summer as more people in CO realize what’s happening to them.
