Recall Vote Throws Wrench in Colorado’s Liberal Shift

Any wind still left in the sails of gun control advocates likely died—at least for now—when Colorado voters successfully recalled two state senators on Sept. 10. This stern punishment came after lawmakers in the Mile High state toughened regulations on background checks and limited the size of ammo magazines.

It was a rout. Billionaire New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg led a team of deep-pocketed out-of-towners in trying to rescue state senate president John Morse and his colleague Sen. Angela Giron, both Democrats. But the grassroots rebellion, fanned and funded by the National Rifle Association and other conservative groups, was more motivated. Said Tim Knight, a leader of the uprising: “Tonight is a victory for the people of the state of Colorado, who have been subject to the overreach of a Democrat agenda on guns, taxes and accountability.”

Colorado has been a success story for liberals in recent years as migration and immigration swelled Front Range cities like Denver and Boulder.

Yes, in truth all states, irrespective of their current red/blue status had better start weeding out their own RATS. Just think how few years ago, California was a bastion of conservatism. RATS are like termites, they are insidious in their munching away at our Constitution. Today, even Texas has signs of RAT infestations. Illegals could own that state in less than a generation.

Yep, unfortunately like a major villian in a comic book, no matter how many times the gun grabbers get beaten or seemingly killed off, you just know they will be back nastier, stronger and with all new tricks several episodes down the road...

Wrong.

It temporarily stalled the nationwide decline of Conservative policies and Conservative values.

Colorado is 21% Hispanic, and increasing each day.

Colorado is 69% white, and decreasing each day.

America adds 1 million new immigrant citizens each year.

New citizens vote 80% for the Democrat Party.

When Hispanic voter participation - now very low - equals white and Black participation, Democrats will take permanent control of the White House and the Congress, and permanent control of Colorado, too.

I wrote to Mr. Cuccinelli’s campaign to tell him so, I suggest you do so as well.

It became a success story for Liberals when they started treating ballots like sweepstakes entries from Publishers Clearing House...

That and pulling in large sums of money from Europe, the east coast, the People's Republic of California, and a handful of very rich people in Denver.

Once we crash and burn like Greece (it will happen; we currently have more debt per capita than Greece but can print our own money where Greece could not).......once the crash happens and bennies are permanently taken away, look for their voters to abandon ship.

The crash is coming the only question is when.
