WooHoo the tax raise amendment failed

BWAAHAAHAAA, I guess I was not the only one completely underwhelmed by ominous "some kids even have to PAY to ride the school bus" and all the other bs in the vote yes on 103 ad. Now if we could get a right to work amendment on the 2012 ballot and "no automatic deductions for union dues" and this would be a biggie, something like the WI law that limits public sector union power, maybe the state could be set on a better path. Well we made some progress in 2010, its just that our state GOP leadership got snookered in a couple of cases that affected the governors race very strongly and the establishment GOP senate candidate fought dirty in the primary and handed extra ammo to the dems to use in the general. It makes me so furious when conservatives are constantly told they have to vote for RINOs or suffer the democrat and then the RINOs decide they would rather have a dem than a conservative.

I have GOT to start checking if I am signed in before answering comments. Hate when google eats my posts.

We do at least have the TABOR amendment in CO. The politicians cannot just raise taxes; they have to write an amendment and put it to a public vote first. They probably thought they could slip this tax increase through in an off year with union and liberal think tank money buying commercial time but the T.E.A. party sentiment prevailed.
