DENVER — When Barack Obama stood before an admiring audience at Mile High Stadium here and accepted his presidential nomination 21 months ago, Democratic leaders crowed about turning Colorado into a reliable stronghold, another step toward building the party’s strength in the West.

I have never looked forward to voting so much as I am this November. Clean out the Congress and start afresh with term limits.
bummer. /s
Salazar is responsible for thousands of jobs lost in the mining areas of Colorado. Whole towns decimated by his cease orders for mining and exploration.
As a private contractor, I run into guys from the oil business quite often, whether they be roughnecks or manufacturing bits or pipeine here in Texas.
At $80/barrel things are chumming for them, many guys are on 12hr/7day weeks.
Obama is closing NASA & trying his best to kill the oil business.
Obama is trying to drive Texas into a recession.
Honestly folks, I live north of Houston & I haven’t seen much of the recession they speak of nationally.
I hope he drives Texas to secede.
We have always had term limits, it’s called voting. If we do not like what a representative is doing give a term limit by voting him out.
I do NOT intend to clean out my congresswoman’s office this fall. I will vote proudly for MICHELE BACHMANN!!!!
That's an understatement...Obama is a Communist and Evil Doer!
Obama is a pure ideologue. Furthermore, he has no doubts at all—any I can see—about his right to impose his will on the majority of the people.
I have always supported term limits, but how the hexxxxx do you ever expect to get them in place? No one is discussing the issue seriously, unlike 1994 and before that.
Let’s work to get the most conservative people we are able to in office this year. Realize “perfect” can be a huge enemy of “good”... Work our tails off to defeat the big-government block.
I would still argue that term limits mandated by law are necessary, because of unscrupulous politicians who stay in office by sheer demagoguery, and by bribing voters with money from the public treasury. They won’t leave, and say or do anything to stay.
As human lifespans increase, we could have people sitting in Congress for a century or more.
Me, too! And again in 2012.
Last fall, here in El Paso County. the city council had it's rear end handed to it on a plate when they tried to make a power and money grab. Voters had had it up to "here" with the endless demands for more more more, and no amount of threatened cuts swayed voters. I see it as a sign of things to come statewide, as long as the GOP runs conservatives.
I'm hope against hope that Mitt Romney isn't the nominee in 2012 for this reason. As a Coloradoan, I saw the small crowds and lackluster support Romney and McCain had here. McCain's crowds swelled with Palin, but that had little or nothing to do with him. Conservatives can win in Colorado. I'm not sure that RINOs will do much better than before.Colorado want conservatives in office. We're a lot less thrilled with Republicans who act like Democrats.
moose2004,
Election day is like New Years to me. I usually go to bed about 10:30 and wake up the next morning and read the news and find out what happened.
This year I’d bet I stay awake like I was a teen ager.
And SMILE. :-)
The fact is this:
When the framers wrote the laws, they never envisioned a fed/state/loc bureaucracy
you just summed up Ted Kennedy’s career
all the boulder bozos went gaga for obozo during the
democrat plantation convention in denver.
Amen!
