Influx of Californians, liberals from the northeast and from blue states ruin former conservatives states with their socialist left wing policies are like cockroaches, they infest the thriving state/city and leave behind a cesspool of vile and garbage behind that people have to clean up.

Yup, those 55,000 people moving from California to Colorado, a state of over 5 million residents, really transformed Colorado from a center of freedom and liberty and the Great American Way into a liberal hellscape of socialism.

All we've heard about here in Colorado is that Republicans fear Democrats like John Hickenlooper and Cory Gardner.  So, the logic goes, Colorado must be a blue state.

Tell that to GOP superstar Cory Gardner, who is evidently ramping up for a statewide run next year:

I think that many media and Democratic observers have assumed that Gardner would keep his powder dry and let someone else make the "futile" run.

It's tough to exaggerate the momentum the GOP has picked up in Colorado in the wake of the Dems' amazing legislative overreach.  But, evidently, Rep. Gardner feels it, too.

Two-term Congressman ultra-conservative hick politician from the center of hickland is totally the Republican candidate Democrats are afraid of.

Democrats will be favored.  The GOP is so, so weak in CO these days.

That may be changing after this gun control bill passes.

You're delusional if you think this will have any impact on next year's races.

I've never even shot a gun before and these bills make me furious.

It's difficult to exaggerate the enormity of the Democrats' political miscalculation here.  Of all the hornets nests the Democrats could have kicked, guns may be the grand-daddy of them all in this state.

I don't think it's much of a miscalculation.  Virtually everyone who might be offended by the recently passed gun control laws was never going to vote Democrat under any circumstances anyway. I know a number of Libertarian and Republican pro-gun folks, and none of them have a problem with these laws; as long as it doesn't really impact their recreation shooting or hunting, they don't care.

Actually, I don't own any guns and have issues with the law.  What does this do exactly, Magpul is moving out of CO among other companies in the same business, people will boycott the state, take their money and spend it in Wyoming, Utah, Arizona.  Hicknelooper is wrong and needs to be voted out of office in 2014.  Californication of CO is happening faster than my head can spin.

You're just a Republican hack masquerading as a libertarian, so no one cares.
