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.

(10,602 posts)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.

(10,602 posts)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.
