Colorado’s legislative session is 120 consecutive days long and during the 2023 session lawmakers introduced 617 bills. Of those, 218 passed and have been signed into law by Democratic Gov. Jared Polis. More are waiting to be signed.
Democrats have a historic majority in the Colorado House, a supermajority in the Senate, and control the governorship. As such, all bills passed with Democrat support—and more often than not, over Republican’s vehement objections. It’s a marked change from 2002 when the GOP dominated politics in Colorado.
Colorado Republican Rep. Stephanie Luck is one of a handful of Colorado Representatives fighting back and trying to expose what she describes as Democrats’ Marxist agenda, where individual rights don’t matter, and the government controls every aspect of life.

Exactly why they hate Trump.
Exactly why I’m an independent.
99.9% of Demoncrats are corrupt in DC
85% of Republicans -or more - are corrupt in DC
They are 2 cheeks on the same corrupt, globalist a$$.
I think it is too late, that to create a new future out of the destruction is what awaits us.
Legal marajuana flipped it blue.
“The Republicans on the other hand want to play by a rule book and sit around and complain.”
But the thing is, we are either a nation of laws (rules), or a nation of men (tyranny). Under the US Constitution, the US was created and founded as a nation of laws, and public officials swear an oath to protect and defend those laws. However, Democrats don’t see the country that way, and they see the Constitution as a roadblock to their goal of absolute power (tyranny); thus, their oaths are just theater.
The Democrats are not going to suddenly return to the fold and support the US as a constitutional republic, and so far they are succeeding in their attempt of transforming the US from a constitutional republic to a single=party tyranny under the Democrat party.
We are headed for a showdown of one kind or another.
They need removed, but how?
There’s no political will by ANY republitard.
>> The flip was due to migration, primarily from pot legalization.
Californians, faggots, & dope did ‘em in.
As an aside, if your state has decent snow skiing, you’re pretty much screwed. Progs loves them some skiing. Look out Idaho and Utah!
Thank GOD there’s no skiing in Texas. :-)
Robert Redford: This is perfect. Why didn't we think of it sooner? This town still has some charm left, not the mess we turned Park City into.
Assistant: Forgive me for being observant, but won't we just end up doing the same thing to this town?
Robert Redford: Yes, and the town after, and the town after that. Like termites, we will move this film festival from town to town until we have used it up and then move on until every quiet mountain town is like Los Angeles.
Assistant: Why? Why would we do such a thing?
Robert Redford: Because we have to live in LA, and, if we can't live in quiet, simply, peaceful mountain towns, then nobody will. ( maniacal laughter ) Wait, wait, zoom in to a close-up on my face when I do that, ready? The nobody will! ( maniacal laughter ) That's it.
I think you are partially right, particularly concerning the election process the Democrats have legalized what for years has been illegal.
Things like ballot harvesting were illegal everywhere for years, now it’s legal in many states, I can’t think of ONE Republican initiative in any state where ballot harvesting is legal to gain more votes.
Republicans have told their voters for years to vote on election day, you see the result that strategy error in Arizona when the voting machines did not work on election day in Republican precincts, most likely due to tampering by Democrats.
In places where universal mail in voting and ballot harvesting are legal, which is a recipe for off the chart cheating.
The Democrats have a sophisticated operation to go door to door collecting ballots and ensuring everyone votes in key areas for them, can you think of any comparable plan by Republicans to combat this, I can’t.
Finally, the Democrats are masters at lawfare, they file one lawsuit after another and often get Republicans to cry uncle and agree to a settlement that opens up the election process to cheating, again do Republicans have a coordinated effort at lawfare from their side.
My point is, they’re many ideas the Republicans could be trying to help level the playing field but seem to be sitting back doing nothing.
“Then, the 2010 election was the nail in the coffin, according to Dunn, and it came down to candidate quality, “This was an enormous lost opportunity for the Republican Party, and I think it’s very difficult to overstate the significance of that election or the decline of the Republican Party in Colorado.
“That was the Tea Party election. By all rights, the Republican Party should have won both the governor’s office and what’s now Senator Michael Bennett’s Senate seat in that election, but they made two catastrophic mistakes. They nominated a Tea Party candidate for governor who was so ill-prepared that Tom Tancredo ran as a third-party candidate.”
RHINOs were more interested in the Tea Party losing than Democrats. Where have we seen this before?
No. Colorado and didn’t pay attention. Many wanted pot laws. That sunk them
The GA plan of the many wings of the GOP will prove much more effective than anything the Democrat strategists do.
1) Pass economic policies of economic growth.
2) Attract unemployed who want to work and want to flee the failed Democrat policies of Blue states.
3) Don’t convert or welcome the new voters disillusiioned with Democrat policies into any wing of the GOP.
4) Do everything possible to make Democrat the only option for these potential converts.
Few ideologies have been discredited and dismantled as rapidly as the conservative Republican ideology in recent years in America. The lack of traction on conservative ideas today is breathtaking. The public at large is comfortable giving up their rights to the Democrats.
Propaganda and indoctrination work.
Denver already looks like San Fran, Portland and Seattle.
Colorado has become America’s newest third world colony.
“RHINOs were more interested in the Tea Party losing than Democrats. Where have we seen this before?”
Exactly. RINOs would rather be the minority party where they are responsible for nothing. Then, they can campaign asking for money while making promises they never plan on keeping. They certainly have no interest in stopping the graft and corruption. They benefit from it as well.
THIS!
You talk like you are NOT INVOLVED !
There lies the most basic problem.
It used to be nice here.
