I can't wait for "Stand-Up Paddleboard Yoga for Vegan Pet Guardians".

I am not an uninformed voter. But I do base my opinions on facts and not ideology.

By the way, my use of "farther" was correct according to Dictionary.com, Webster, and Oxford. Now if I had said I had "no farther comment", that would be wrong. But I was speaking strictly about relative distances. "Further" is also fine, but "farther" is very correct.

Global Warming is killing the ski industry. Just wait until that runs out. I'd wager that the oil lease money is going to last a whole lot longer than skiing... As oil becomes more scarce, it becomes more valuable. As temperatures rise, ski revenues simple melt away...

Yep. It's a total waste of time. But it does give those people a chance to vent their frustration at the way their interests are being ignored by the liberal state government.

Yep, the surface and groundwater is already spoken for... by the towns on the plains. For instance, Greeley has first dibs on the water running right through Fort Collins. The law gives claim to those "first in time". It was the prairie towns that were founded first.

"... Hickenlooper isn't exactly liberal."

And that pretty much identifies you as having drifted as far or farther to the left as you accuse the conservatives of having drifted to the right.

Ever hear of a "severance tax"? Probably not, or you would know that the "innocent children" won't be suffering in "crumbling unfunded schools". The severance tax is paid by oil companies when they extract oil. If North Colorado were to become a reality, most of Colorado's oil revenues would go with it. The new state of North Colorado will be far richer than the parts of Colorado left behind.

Check your facts. According to Gallup you're dead wrong. Deal with it. It's called reality.

"Overall, Americans in 2012 remained slightly more likely to identify as conservative (38%) than as moderate (36%) or as liberal (23%), a pattern that reflects the general consistency in ideological self-reports over recent years." http://tinyurl.com/ctlz95p

Perhaps Diana DeGette's spokesperson's next "clarification" will be more accurate: "The Congresswoman has absolutely no idea of what she's talking about."

Unfunded entitlements are more expensive. Compare the total cost of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq ($1.3 Trillion according to the ANTI-WAR website http://costofwar.com/) against the cost of Obamacare ($2 Trillion according to the PRO OBAMACARE website http://obamacarefacts.com/costof-obamacare.php). I highlight the sources to point out that these are the most "negative" estimates for the Wars and the most "positive" estimates for Obamacare. If you're a progressive, this is as good as it gets.

The difference is that the cost of the wars stops the minute we end our engagement while the costs of Obamacare continue to rise over time, a function of population growth and a continually depressed or regressive economy (thanks to Obama's economic policies).

When it comes to cost, Obamacare is a loser.... big time.
