Drilling Has Colo. Republicans Losing Faith.

From Talkleft:

The Washington Post reports that many Colorado Republicans on the Western Slope are losing faith in their party. Chief among their complaints is the Bush Administration's support of intense oil and gas drilling activity.

Long the most reliably conservative expanse of a state that has gone red in six of the past seven presidential contests, Colorado's western third shows evidence of the "purpling" that has made

Colorado look increasingly like a swing state.

Colorado now has 32,000 active oil and gas wells. Another 40,000 are planned.

Looks like Colorado will change parties. I visited that State and it is so pretty. I loved walking up to deer real close and they are so beautiful and strong. The scenes of the mountains and walking up the mountains in Boulder are breath taking. Now to think all that will go to oil drilling is sick. God created the most beautiful scenes only for man to destroy it for money.

I was in northern Colorado and Wyoming this summer. It is beautiful. Perhaps this is the government's way of realizing that the irrigation for the agriculture won't be able to keep up with global warming so the farms can get replaced with oil pumps.

Hey, O.J. got his ass sent to jail. Hmmm, maybe this time, justice can be done properly. I teach young people about DNA. I usually start it with something like: don't you dare embarrass me and yourself by serving on a jury and not knowing what DNA evidence means.

Hi Mr. Kitty
Now to business O.J. is innocent. Today the dude that charged him wants to drop the charges and said it was a mistake and there was no gun. Now I know most people would rather have OJ in jail or given the death sentence. Even if God told Americans OJ didn't do it people would still wont him in jail just because they want it. As for the Goldman family if God let Ron come back his Father would say send him back so I can get the money. Remember the Goldman Family never saw Rod and his Dad never spoke to him but he's all over getting money. OJ isn't a Saint but please enough is enough.

Mr. Kitty you really get around I guess your salary is good. I would have loved to see a cat on vacation.
