The Colorado Re-Model?

The Colorado model changed Democrat political tactics, as uber-wealthy liberals joined their check-books to fund a state by state takeover of the nation by left-wing Democrats.

Using non-profits this cabal of billionaires and millionaires franchised their fiscal foot-print through local left-wing terror cells (GraniteStateProgress, NHCA/NHCAA, Get out the vote groups, etc,) who would serve as issue advocacy storm troopers whose real mission was make every day and every issue political.  They would also supplement state and Local Democrat parties to target opponents, and to take over state legislatures, governorships, and elected Secretaries of state–cuz they run the elections and enforce (or not) election law, .  And for the first few years things were pretty good.  You could even credit them with getting Obama elected.

Since then Democrat influence had tumbled to a nearly 100 year low at the state and national level.

Will Obama be remembered for being the impetus behind the Colorado Re-model because Colorado Republicans have begun taking over Colorado…thanks to Obama.

In Colorado

Republicans also kept three statewide offices: attorney general, secretary of state and treasurer. While not official, Colorado State University political science professor John Straayer said his count shows Republicans took over both chambers of the General Assembly by as little as a one-seat margin.

And in general…

(Reuters) – The Republican wave that hit the U.S. Congress in Tuesday’s midterm election also boosted the party in state races, where it gained control of 10 chambers and could be on track to holding the largest number of legislative seats since before the Great Depression.

It’s the Colorado remodel, thanks to Obama and all the Democrats who worshiped at his ideological alter.

Will it last?  Hard to say.  Republicans could be their own worst enemy in this scenario.   But since 2010–with a slight bump in 2012 the line continues to trend upward for the Right, while the Left is left making excuses for why states and the nation are abandoning them and their political ideas, in droves.

Media Republicans in DC need to do a good job of running it like Reid in reverse and pushing Republican priorities to Obama’s desk.

Make Obama tell the people that he trusts Washington more than them with vetoes.

You can’t be a “do nothing Republican” if all you do is send bills to Obama every day and then tell the people why you trust them more than Washington to get it done and to do it right.

Just Run it like Reid…in reverse.  No time for Obama to campaign, no time for golf – just time to work.

Time to get things done, time to move the power out of gridlocked Washington and back to the States where they can get things done with their own money on their priorities.  And the only way to do that is to stop the obstructionist democrats from stopping “progress, Baby!”

Want to save America.  Get it out of DC and give it back to America.

And the Colorado re-model works for blue, red, and purple states.  Local spenders get a shot at handling and spending much larger sums of money themselves instead of sending it to DC to be wasted on unresponsive bureaucrats.  They just have to risk spending it a lot closer to the people they took it from in the first place.  People who might want a word or two about their priorities band more than a few who might want some of it back.
