We're Done with Colorado

I'll be joining you after I retire in 2014. Looking real hard at Idaho right now. I have lived here all my life (60 yrs.) and my grandmother homesteaded here. I always thought I would die here but the liberals have totally changed my mind.
Good luck with your decision and it's a shame to lose another conservative. This basically makes one liberal vote worth two.

If I were to go, I would go alone. Not an option right now.
We had a substantial victory in 2 districts recently.
Let's build on that and clean house in '14.

I'm with you on this one. My job is great, my family has their feet firmly planted in Colorado so it'll be a long time before we pull up stakes and move. I'm all about fighting for keeping our rights just the way they were before Chickenpooper took a massive crap on them.

The demise of conservative values in Colorado predates Hickenlooper by several years.

Agreed. Any conservative that lives in Colorado (or for that matter Texas since y'all are next) need to read this book.

We're out. Sold the house yesterday, in Topeka tonight, heading to Maine. As long as outside dollars keep making decisions in Colorado there's no hope. They're buying more and more votes and turning the state, unfortunately, into California. Good luck to those of you who choose to stay and fight. I just turned retirement age and want to enjoy it.

Enjoy your new adventure in Maine!

I'm amazed at how many out of state plates I'm seeing in CO lately. I get the feeling they aren't just passing through. Should make the first snowy commute very interesting....

Go all the way up to Aroostook county and you may get a part in the "Mountain Men" series.

Gun store on the side of I70, Missouri or Kansas, big sign- BLACK RIFLES.

You're in the heartland of the nation my friend. Good luck driving through New England and best of luck in Maine. Keep us updated how the pace of life and neighbors are up there!

Hope you enjoy your retirement ... but I can't see now Maine would be any better than Colorado politically ... the same forces are at work there as here (hell, Bloomie is even closer there and probably considers Maine a threat to his fiefdom in NYC). Its a pretty place (and the seafood will be much better) but I don't think you're avoiding any fight by moving there.
