The Republicans don’t like losing and will do anything to keep their power even if it is to thwart the will of the voters and if they lose to a minority it really gets their dander up.
The voters see what they are doing in Florida and North Carolina in voter disenfranchisement and voter fraud, in Wisconsin and Minnesota where they have frozen out the will of the voters. The voters see how their policies and tax cuts favor big money at the expense of the voters. The voters see through their “religious freedom” as ways to hide their bigotry.
The voters are not dumb; they just take a while to wake up to how the Republicans have been playing them.
Right after Colorado elected a gay governor, state Republicans huddled with a hate group leaderI can tell right off what went wrong… it is that they don’t listen to the voters.

Shortly after Democrats swept statewide elections including the state’s first out gay Governor, Colorado Republicans held a retreat to discuss where they went wrong.
As the state continues to diversify, Republicans decided they could best learn what the population truly wants by inviting David Horowitz, the leader of a vehemently anti-immigration and anti-Muslim hate group, to keynote the gathering.So they invite a known bigot to their “echo chamber” tell them why they lost the election, three guesses what he told them.
The Southern Poverty Law Center describes the David Horowitz Freedom Center as “a platform to project hate and misinformation.” But Colorado Republicans welcomed him with open arms – and he gave them what they wanted.
The Colorado Times Reporter published the beginning of Horowitz’s speech to the gathering and he pulls no punches as he urges them to shrug off criticism of neo-Nazi and white supremacist ideology. Instead, he says, Republicans should vilify Democrats by accusing them of racism and supporting terrorists.Oh yeah, the voters will never see through that ruse.Here’s my lesson from the recent election in my newly adopted state: You’re too damn nice. Democrats call Republicans “racists, sexists, homophobes, Islamophobes, xenophobes” and “Nazis.” And Republicans call Democrats … “liberals.” Stop it! What are Democrats liberal about except sex, drugs, spending other people’s money, coddling criminals, giving America’s mortal enemies like Iran the benefit of the doubt, nuclear weapons and billions in cash to finance their terrorist activities, and opening borders to terrorists, sexual predators and whoever comes along? Democrats don’t even believe in due process any more. Innocent until proven guilty? That’s for aging white men – Republicans. The Democrats are satisfied with guilt by accusation. The Democratic Party is a party of racists, character assassins and, oh, liars. Say it.
State senator Kevin Lundberg invited Horowitz to speak and he said he watched Horowitz’s speech to ALEC [American Legislative Exchange Council] and decided it wasn’t that bad after all.Um… with Republicans like him no wonder why the Republican lost.
“I believe he had some very salient points to make. He doesn’t mince words. He dives right in and tells you what he thinks in a very forthright manner. He does have some observations that are worth paying attention to,” he told the Colorado Times Recorder.
The voters see what they are doing in Florida and North Carolina in voter disenfranchisement and voter fraud, in Wisconsin and Minnesota where they have frozen out the will of the voters. The voters see how their policies and tax cuts favor big money at the expense of the voters. The voters see through their “religious freedom” as ways to hide their bigotry.
