I'd always thought Colorado was a mostly blue state. So the results of 2014 boggle the mind: Mark Udall losing to a guy who wants to ban condoms, both the state House and Senate going to the Republicans, the fact that Hick was re-elected was surprising, and Hillary's losing to every single potential Republican candidate in Colorado. This was a state that voted for Obama twice!

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...

Pfft! Please. Every study and survey shows that people with lower IQ's tend to vote Republican, as those that can't understand complex issues and have very simple thought processes are more attracted to right-wing ideology. Thus this is why the more educated you are, the more liberal you tend to be.

I won't lie, my only job will be to say and do whatever it takes to get elected, to a point that is. I'd never sell my soul and change parties though...

I wish I was in Ann Arbor...

I'm from a small town 20 miles south of Flint, and about 60 miles north of Detroit. It's in a heavily Republican area where all the Republicans sound like Alan Keyes:
