During Governor Hickenlooper’s monthly interview with 850KOA’s Mike Rosen last week, Hick made an interesting observation. When discussing the rising tide of rural anger over his party’s “most liberal ever” legislative session, Hickenlooper pledged to work towards a “more balanced approach” next session.
Implicit in that admission is that the Democrat-controlled legislature was too extreme for Colorado last session.
Roll the tape:
Transcript:
“There are enough people that feel that their views and their opinions aren’t being considered that I think that’s a serious problem and I take it very seriously. And you have my commitment that I will, you know, work especially hard this next session to try and make sure that we have a more balanced approach to all Colorado.”
It’s an odd admission for Hickenlooper to make considering he didn’t veto a single bill all session. A reporter might follow up and ask him: “Governor Hickenlooper, if last legislative session wasn’t “balanced” for all Colorado, then why did you sign every single bill that hit your desk?
I think he is pretty different, as a progressive I do not think he is tough enough on Fracking regulations.. He has left it virtually unchanged. while on average.. in this state… a violation (oil spill) happens every few days… Im sure the current framework which averages ONE inspecter per every 1,000 wells is juuuuuust fine.. (sarcasm)
Their actions should be considered a crime.
Every elected official in Colorado responsible for drafting, sponsoring, endorsing, voting for or otherwise supporting any of this anti-gun legislation have violated Article II, Section 13 of the Colorado Constitution, and at the very least should be removed from office and forever barred from public service.
No Colorado politician has the right to even question the right of citizens to keep and bear arms, let alone draft and pass legislation violating that right. None have the authority to call into question, let alone usurp any portion of any of our liberties.
Our Constitution is the law of the land. These politicians have all broken the law, which makes them criminals, therefore they must be treated as such.
“The right of no person to keep and bear arms in defense of his home, person and property, or in aid of the civil power when thereto legally summoned, shall be called in question…”.
–Article II, Section 13, Constitution of the state of Colorado.

Political "doublespeak" – it's a dead giveaway of a person without values and a proper compass.
Send him to Detroit. They love Democrats there.Look how great it works!
Dickinlickinlooper is no different than any other Liberal Progressive Communist Democrat….They will lie cheat and deceive anyone to have their agenda…To these people the end always justifies the means….NO INTEGRITY NO HONOR NO MORALITY!
Next session? Next session? Is he kidding? What next time? He's perfectly OK with violating the very rights he's sworn to protect and he thinks there will be a next time. He's not only vile, he's half smart.
That's right………election year!!!!!
He wants to see it be more balanced in the next session. Isn't that like closing the barn door after the horse gets out? How will they address the damage that was already done?
Man is a idiot and will not get my vote just think Hick, 2014 is rolling around and I will gladly come help you move back under which ever rock you crawled out from.
He only wants to appear to be a moderate and a bridge builder during election years. You can't simply be a decent individual when it's convenient toward your personal goals. You have to be decent 100% of the time.
Governor Hickenlooper you the legislature went nuts this last session. You will not get another opportunity to destroy this state.
The man should not run for office again. As well as Udall & Bennet. This democratically controlled State Legislature is ruining this beautiful state and should be removed.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. He knew what he was doing then, and he knows what he is doing now. Doesn't get my vote … ever!
I guess the recalls have him unnerved, lol. He will not be reelected. he should his true self. We will not forget!
He wants to get re-elected is all!
