Tea Baggers In Colo Flood Damaged Areas Complaining About Slow Repairs

Well they may not all be tea baggers, but the flood damaged areas are most GOP strongholds who don't want to pay any more taxes. Yet they complain about slow progress in road repair and help.

You just cannot ever understand the depth of ignorant and stupid.

7. They Are Complaining That Repairs Are Not Fast Enough.

The stream in some places has completely changed course to where roads used to be. In some places you only have enough room for one construction crew and you have to work you way up or down the canyon. You cannot get to the middle of the damage until you repair yourself to that point.

want to be taxed to help others. Yes, I feel it is important to help them, but also hope that they elarn from this that government has an important and vital role in people's lives that can be both life saving and life enhancing.

And they all think alike because there are a lot of gun nutters in the foothills where the damage is. It is red hot hatred and selfishness that drives them.

I always thought SD was sort of mellow. Didn't Daschle, McGovern and Tim Johnson come from SD?

4. There Are Dems In The Damaged Areas But GOP Dominates

GOP dominates so many of the damaged areas. I do not believe Obama carried the vote in those areas. And Congressional reps are usually GOP. Gardner who is the rep in that area is a tea bagger. And the rep for where the counties want to secede and were damaged by the flood still want to secede from the state and create their own state. They don't like taxes there especially if any money goes to a Hispanic or a Black.

The county commissioners in Weld county are a bunch of tea bagger racist screwballs. The are pushing secession.

What Dems are in that part of the state have to put with all these assholes. I know I used to live in Greeley 69-72 and the racist and hatred has not changed.

And the shut down did effect those areas. It slowed down progress on the huge damage. It will take multiple millions to repair the roads and some communities will not have services until spring. Places like Glen Haven will be like it was when the trappers lived their in the early 1800's.

In fact most of our disaster areas are GOP dominant.

Break the government - deal with the consequences.

If you don't like the consequences - STOP BREAKING THE F***ING GOVERNMENT dipwads.
