So sad that such a progressive state is turning into a southern-style GOP hellhole so fast.
You seriously are sounding way dumber lately. Check your inflated image of your party (a collection of liberal arts majors and poor people), and consider that you don't have to be "southern-style" or a "hellhole" to vote Republican. And, if anything, CO is returning closer to its traditional status after being abnormally attracted to Obama. It's not "such a progressive state" and many of its voters have a "stay out of my life" attitude that doesn't lend itself well to your nanny-state policies on fiscal issues and gun rights.
Shots fired. Check your inflated image of your party (A cult of mentally ill, bigoted, heavily-armed culture warriors and a bunch of rich assholes). You want to talk about a nanny state? Ask women in Virginia who were nearly subjected to state-sanctioned vaginal ultrasounds by Bob McDonnell and the Republicans. I'm a Democrat because I understand math, sorry Ted, but subtraction doesn't equal addition. I'm a Democrat because corporate welfare offends me far more than school lunches do. I'm a Democrat because I can't support a party that panders to a religious fundies
that would like to see me and people like me executed. THAT is why I hate conservatives, Republicans, and conservatism, and THAT'S why I plan to run for office.
