Redemptive!
Awesome
FUGOP
We're not sure if the rules permit acronyms.
FTR.
Thank goodness there is no such thing as a filibuster here at state level. The will of the majority actually gets to win out. What a concept.
Yes I know that's not one word. Sue me.
And a supermajority is not required. In other words, sanity in government.
So I'll go with sanity.
Sanity's always nice.
Definitive.
As in to define or specify precisely
Eg. If we elect D majorities in 2012, they will
kill children and raise taxesprotect jobs and workers, pass commen sense gun safety legislation, get gov't out of the personal lives of consenting adults who love each other and want to commit to their relationship, allow students who attend / graduate CO high school to pay in -state tuition at CO state colleges, and so on.If in the 2014 election cycle, the voters want to do different things – or eliminate these things – they can vote for different legislators. (Who will not repeal any of the major 2013 legislation.) But the voters are clear on which party did what. Definitive.
Now mine doesn't look so bad. To be fair, yours does provide one word for starters. Guess my one word should have been"unfilibustered". Is that a word?
I can't think of a single word, but if there's one for the fulfillment of a mandate from the voters of Colorado, that's the one I want to nominate.
Representative? Responsive? Small '"d" democratic?
FRACKED
I'll go with 'progressive', though 'slog' sounds like it might be appropriate, too.
beginning
I'm with Sir Robin–except I can't think of a single word that encompasses–A Good Start!!!
How about "upward." As in the long term curve of civilization bends upward.
I think PR's "progressive" says that without needing the extra words to explain it. Maybe, to remove the partisan connotaion now associated with the word "progressive" …. progressing?
Overdue
Over.
Productive.
(whether you're for or oppose the legislation, this was one of the most productive legislative sessions in a long while)
Productive.
OKay, OrangeFree said it first, but I second the motion.
Agree. Productive is what best defines it. Both as compared to previous sessions and to what's going on in DC.
Kind of surprised no choice word yet from ArapGoof.
she doesn't usually
have access on a school dayshow up until later in the day.Devastating.
Well there you go, BC.
I like your avatar. a man that raised taxes seven times out of the eight years he was president can't be all bad.
Divisive.
Ironic.
Yes, it's ironic that the party of inclusion has divided the state.
You sort of have to do that, when you're fighting the party of exclusion.
Destructive.
Un-American.
By un-American, you mean you don't like the will of the voters?
When the voters see what the Democrats have done, they will be heard loud and clear.
Yep, by showing more unAmerican Republicans the door and sending more Democrats to the Gold Dome.
They'll be shocked – shocked, I tell you.. Or not. I think the numbers from the Progress Now Colorado image posted further below are cherry-picked as the most optimistic of a number of polls, but the majority/minority sentiments are clear:
Yes – Colorado voters will be heard loud and clear in 2014. But the sound you're listening to come that November evening isn't the one you're dreaming about in your head.
Hey, there must be a wacko rightie Sleeping Giant somewhere who isn't answering the phone for polls or voting. And just wait until he wakes up. Boy is he going to get those Dems.
Overreaching.
Look, if your heart's not in it you don't have to bother.
Socialistic.
That word doesn't mean what you think it means.
You're not even trying.
Radical.
That word too.
Guess we just me a majority radical state then because these are the people we elected and the legislation reflects the majority will.
Oops. Really going too fast here, That would be guess we just must be a radical state.
Despotic.
Uh no, democratic. Despotic would be the minority imposing their will on the majority.
And that word…
Regurgitative.
Travesty.
Repetitive. Predictable. Unimaginative. Rote. Irrelevant.
You don't like the democratic process? Try Saudi Arabia. You'd love it. No democracy at all.
Extreme.
Cowardly.
So now the majority of Colorado voters and their elected reps are extreme? Gee why don't you move someplace nice. Bet you don't think the majority of voters and their elected reps in Missouri are extreme. How about moving there? Got to warn you about the humidity though. It's killer.
Ugly.
Stupid.
Arrogant.
Dumbfuck.
Republicans.
who
hate
the
Constitution.
BurmaShave
How can Republicans hate something they don't understand? Oh wait, that explains everything.
Well that's just rude. Elections aren't beauty contests you know.
Under-reaching
Have pity on Guppy and his ilk. Their nightmare is just beginning.
ArapaGOP's list of words is actually pretty sad. It shows someone desperately trying to cling to a yesterday that never existed, fearful and lashing out at the future. And fundamentally opposed to a vibrant democracy.
It's sad.
it is the list handed out by the handlers. Notice, from another list, that everytime an R talks about Obamacare they insert the word "expensive" in every other sentence
This:
That's a great graphic, thanks!
Then we must be a state chock full of ugly, socialist, radical, over reaching, extremists. I'm sure I must have missed a few.adjectives. Oh yeah, the electorate is a travesty.
Delivered.
How A-Bot sees the session.
. . . very interesting view from inside the
colon, . . . er,mind, . . . er, colon . . . of this site's most prolific troll!Is there a larger version of that anywhere? Thanks.
It's the Denver Post's. I guess the libs at Pols have turned against them too.
The cons like you have turned against Colorado, but thank God that the Democrats are saving our state and making it great once more.
Looks like the Sleeping Giant woke up hungry and ate your lunch, ArapGoof.
Historical. If not at times Hysterical (its multiple meanings).
Majestic
well, nibbling around the edges anyway
It's times like this that I do miss the old Red Room (pre-campaign finance ruination) for the success parties (and a good place for the bad times too).
Redemptive.
If Arapgop (and others) genuinely believe their list of words, then they need to get those outstanding R candidates rolling for next year. Who's running for Governor? Senator? Other statewide office? The State House, and State Senate seats that are up for election? It's time for the R candidates to come forward and tell us all how the "ugly" results of Democratic control will be overturned after the next election. Who are these outstanding R candidates? Please – all of you – take one step forward (not you, Tommy T., Bob B., Scott McG., etc, etc). . . .
Szabo &/or Brophy for any and all statewide seats available!
