Why do repugicans hate democracy?
Weld County's bid to divorce Colorado and form its own state is a powerful rebuke of Front Range interests that no longer align with rural parts of the state, supporters of the idea say.
"The people of rural Colorado are mad, and they have every right to be," said U.S. Rep. Cory Gardner, a repugican from Yuma. "The governor and his Democrat colleagues in the statehouse have assaulted our way of life, and I don't blame these people one bit for feeling attacked and unrepresented by the leaders of our state."
The plan to carve off the northeastern corner of the state - Weld, Morgan, Logan, Sedgwick, Phillips, Washington, Yuma and Kit Carson counties - and form the state of North Colorado was hatched at a Colorado Counties Inc. conference earlier this week, Weld County spokeswoman Jennifer Finch said.
This scheme doesn't stand a chance, obviously. It just points to what happens when conservatives don't get their way-they stomp and pout and whine, and then they start looking for ways to subvert our democracy.
