Social scientists, say Colorado boosters, have plausible metrics identifying their state as the happiest and healthiest state, the former quality perhaps producing the latter.

Among the least happy and healthy Colorado cohorts is the Republican Party, which is less svelte than emaciated. This state is in many ways a glimpse of the nation's future, so when national Republicans are done congratulating themselves on having lost only the most important half of what the Constitution's Framers considered the most important branch – Congress is accorded Article I for a reason – they should study Colorado's changing tint, from purple toward blue.
When asked whether his party's rout of Republicans on Nov. 6 indicated that many voters recoiled when they saw "R" next to a candidate's name, Gov.-elect Jared Polis demurs, saying that what they effectively saw was: "T."

Yep, I live in the Springs, I love my housing value going up but hate the reason why, tons of libs moving here. I am trying to convince my wife that we should move out in the next 10 years.
Karl Marx never pretended to be anything other than an enemy of traditional society and free market economics. He was the external enemy. George Will is the enemy within, who subverts while paying verbal assent to the principles of conservatism.

Excuse me? Trump did better in the mid terms than most. Go sort your baseball cards.
was just in Colorado. Weed all around and witnessed the “2018 Denver GoTopless Day Parade” in Denver. Nothing I’d want to copy. Thank you very much.

Not that they should be banned, but we can post enough nonsense and garbage from ADMITTED enemies on the left.
