Actually, this gets right down to the nitty gritty - they have stripped the veneer off what most politicians are about.

The new Coloradans will gladly repeal TABOR now. 92 was pre-Californication.

Then what’s the point of laws? What’s the point of anything? TABOR is not the only limits I’m sure placed on legislative behavior and process. There are laws from how to get on the ballot, to election laws, legislative district map laws, to bribery, influence, and lobbying laws, other budgetary laws, bonding laws, property tax laws, legislative rules, rules of conduct, to the state constitution itself. Do we throw them all out too?

The people elect their legislators. They control the process. They therefore have the right to limit their legislative behavior as well.

If they happen to “win” some short term “victory” in this scheme, they find 33 schemers in the ditch and NO Dem’s elected to ANYTHING in Colorado!

When you are hired, your employer tells you what your job is to be and how he expects you to do it. That’s how it works. If you don’t like it, tough. Leave, or be let go. Your choice.

The United States, and each state individually are not democracies....they are representative democracies where your representative votes in your place...your power exists in the right to elect the person who represents you. It would be an unworkable nightmare for the public to have the right to a direct vote on things like taxes. On the local level, the people do haVE SOME RIGHTS TO A SAY SO, BUT NOT ON THE STATE OF FEDERAL LEVEL. (wHOOPS) hit caps lock!

Especially for Colorado, for those of you who haven't seen the truth behind the political noise.

"Conservative" state and local interests? Some want to get rid of the 17th Amendment to allow their bosses to choose your senators.
