In Colorado, the GOP Governor and RINOs want voters to abandon TABOR for five years... to grow government. Conservatives should push to shrink government - to make government smaller. That's what a spending cap represents. And it all begins in California. We need another Boston Tea Party - and soon.

[Dick] Armey recently accepted Owen's invitation to debate the issue on public television in Colorado, and his group has taken a lead role in working to defeat the proposal that the governor is supporting on the November ballot. It has all frustrated the Colorado governor.

"They don't have a clear understanding of what the issues here are," said Dan Hopkins, a spokesman for Owens. "They are calling this a tax increase. It clearly is not."

Yet the governor is having a tough time selling that message to voters so far. In a recent Denver Post poll, only 43% of them supported his proposal.

Gov. Bill Owens says repealing TABOR is NOT a tax increase. What would one call a move to allow the government to spend like a drunken sailor? Most Colorado voters know junking spending limits would lead the state sooner or later to a California style fiscal meltdown. Yeah, the Governor and his RINO business pals and the Democrats who run the State Legislature can put lipstick on the pig - and its still a pig. Unlike his spokesman, people DO understand what a repeal of TABOR would mean - a higher tax burden. We are told the government is being starved. We're never told of the fact government at all levels today, takes more than half of one's income. Enough is enough. Government is too big for its britches. It needs to be starved more.
