Mark Levin takes on the “Jim Jones Democrats” and the feckless GOP leadership both during last night’s interview on “Hannity”: Honest to God: a trillion dollars in new taxes, coupled to a 62% spending increase on budget over 10-years? A President who out of one side of his mouth claims we don’t have an immediate deficit problem, while out of the other proclaiming the need for a “balanced approach” to

Looking for political cover should he accede to the Bloomberg/DC anti-gun, pro-criminal measures passed by CO Dems on party line votes, Gov Hickenlooper has said he is tallying emails, pro and con, to determine where he’ll wind up on the proposed gun grabbing legislation  that will soon reach his desk.
