Why is Colorado suddenly so Republican?

If you always thought of it as a blue state, you were just wrong.  So, let's stop there.

It's disturbing how many of you teenagers and college kids equate liberal with "cool," LOL.  If you want to think that way, fine; I can't stop you, and I have no interest in doing so.  However, there are several rich, entertaining and scenic places that vote Republican every once in a while, and it's frankly hilarious that so many of you think of Democrats as strictly enlightened urbanites and Republicans as backwards rural folk.  Ignorance is bliss, though!

The Republicans that aren't backwards Condeferate Degenerates are low-IQ religious culture warriors that are single issue (Abortion) voters. And yes, that includes the ones that are outside the South. I have yet to meet one that didn't fall into one of those categories.

I guess that's why Republicans have historically done better in suburbs, usually win the college-educated vote (though they do lose the post-grad vote) and ROUTINELY win the richest income brackets comfortably?  LOL, your simplistic generalizations kind of explain why you're such a sh*tty poster, though.

Your party consistently wins the votes of the poorest Americans and the least educated (high school education or less), so I'm thinking you shouldn't throw stones...

One can be wealthy and be an ignorant confederate degenerate. Just look at those duck morons.

That said, Wolverine is obviously wrong for generalizing.

Fair enough.  Just saying the term "Republicans" doesn't simply encompass crazy fundamentalists from the country, haha.

Funny to see the Republicans in this thread frantically insist they are the preferred party of big money and corporate greed.

I don't think either of those things are bad.  Shoot me.

I think it was Andrew Gelman or someone like that who said that "both parties are parties of the rich, but the Republicans are more so."

Anyway, this obsession over whose side is more clever/brilliant/educated/intelligent strikes me as elitist in a bad way.

I'd agree, and if I've given off the impression of embracing elitism, I apologize to all.  I'm from a small, gun-loving state that takes pride in being "rural" (that seems to have a more "negative" meaning in other regions of this country), and I actually have a healthy dislike for TRUE elitism, but I think the general practice of blaming "corporate America" is lame, lazy and short-sighted, and I REALLY hate when people who shouldn't be elitist (LOL, not that ANYONE should ever be) are ... if you need an example, scroll up and read the works of this thread's Michigan Democrat...
