I read that the place has been infected with people who fled California after they destroyed that state with their Democrat votes and are now destroying Colorado the same way. They are moving eastward like locusts with STDs.
That must be what happened to Colorado... the invasion of the liberal Californian locusts. It's SO sad to see.
My husband and I were out there (just for vacation) back in October 2002... there were mid-term elections going on. The only liberal area in CO I remember then was Boulder.
Hubby and I stopped by several GOP offices... the Colorado Republicans were so happy and proud at how "Red" their state was, and they greatly pitied us because we lived in The People's Republik of Connecticut. They loved their Governor Bill Owens, who I think was very conservative. Everything gleaned from our conversations with CO Republicans led us to believe that Colorado would be conservative "forever".
It's very disturbing to see how far Colorado has fallen in just 10 short years...
