English-Only, Ref. C Rebates Off Ballot

So sorry...

I'm all verklempt.  Sniff.

BTW, I think you meant to write 'ban bilingual education', but 'bane' works well, too.  Good riddance to bad rubbish.

This makes me smile

Especially the Ref C one. Is there any bigger waste of time than forcing us to revote the issue?

Bad news for Both Ways

Democrats are pumping up the failure of Initiative 88 (aka the John Caldera Relevancy Initiative).  Specifically, they are pointing out Both Ways Bob's boasts that he was the first signer of the I88 petitions.  The Ritter campaign already has a press release out.  Seems Bob can't win for trying.

been there, already done that

  Isn't there already an official English amendment in the Colorado Constitution, Article II,Section 30a?  It's wedged in there just above the notorious Amendment Two.

yep

Caldera did this for the sake of Beauprez. 

Isn't running to the center fun? We get to all pretend we're Conservatives until primaries are over with and November looms. I'm not complaining, mind you, just making a statement of fact.

yep, indeed

The Republican game of Bait and Switch. They're very good at it; the public is very gullible.

Both Ways Bob Beauprez' Blunder

The fact that the Referendum C Rebate is now off the November ballot will not and cannot let Both Ways Bob off the hook. 

After all, he was the first to sign the petition for Initiative 88...and he was SO PROUD to announce that he had accomplished this!

This action by Beauprez only proves how little he knows about the wants and needs of Colorado voters. 

The Dems and Ritter should repeatedly make mention of this critical Beauprez blunder during the "ad-attack" season.
