Colorado Dems: "It's about voter suppression"
Townhall.com ^ | September 14, 2013 | Bob Beauprez

Democrats apparently can never just loose an election.  Something sinister, even illegal, must be the reason. "I'm not sure what happened," former State Senator Angela Giron told the Denver Post the morning after she was trounced in a first of its kind recall election in Colorado.  Now, she's got a different story – voter suppression.

Angela Giron lost her Senate District 3 seat in Pueblo, Colorado in a recall election last Tuesday by more than 12 points, 56.0% to 43.9%.   This is particularly stunning as hers is a district composed of nearly 50% registered Democrats. Barack Obama won the district by nearly 20 points in 2012 – just ten months ago.

But, as you'll see in the CNN video below, Giron is completely unwilling to accept the fact that the voters of her district rejected her for her support of the anti-Second Amendment legislation she championed in the 2013 session of the Colorado legislature.  According to the Denver Post, 20 percent of the voters who signed the recall petition were registered Democrats volunteering that Giron had become "arrogant and difficult to work with."  That observation seems abundantly clear in the CNN interview below.

Giron Voter Suppression


Voter suppression has become a favorite mantra of the Democrat Progressive left.  As with a lot of their emotional arguments, however, the facts don't support their argument.  For more, see A Line of Sight.comcontributing editor Brian Anderson's recent article, "Straight Talk about Voter I.D. Laws."

Same old story...if it went their way, it was ‘fair’. If it didn’t then it was “suppression”......

And as yet another person said (radio host Jim Quinn) - "Democrats love democracy until the vote doesn't do their way".

Giron: “We know what really happened here. Yes, we had the strong NRA and you have a person like Mr. Head, but what this story is really about, it’s about voter suppression,” Giron said.

CNN Anchor Brooke Baldwin: “OK, forgive me, but I’m going to cut you off right there. Because if we talk voter suppression, I’ve read reports on lack of popularity on your behalf. Let’s just not go there.”

Giron's look in the image below as she was shot down in flames by the CNN anchor. She probably thought CNN was going to be the usual supportive softball throwing spinners but found herself stomped like a nark at a biker rally.

“Whose fault is it that these Democrats didn’t get their voters to the polls for this election?”

The RATs real problem is that “their constituents” are stupid, lazy, takers who can’t be bothered with getting their beer soaked asses up of the sofa, away from their TV’s, to lumber down to the polls and vote like the rest of us. That defines “voter suppression,” just plain laziness coupled with stupidity.

These kind of elections, referendums, and mid-terms don’t attract the riff raff who turn out for B-HO.

Personally...I have made a decision:

I will NOT have a government teacher, or government school worker, for a friend. They are too evil, too stupid, or too much of a Useful Idiot to be a friend. (I wouldn't have an abortion worker or concentration camp guard for a friend, either. )

But...Honestly..I am considering what you have written. Is there anything in the Marxo/fascist/Prog/Democrat worldview that would justify having these Democrats for friends?

The one I HATE even worse is flipping “then/than”.

So how do you feel their, about they're improper use, of there language.

Don't hold back, tell us what you really think.

I still have my sign from the 2000 Broward County courthouse anti-illegal recount demonstrations. Until the day he died, a friend of mine used to introduce me as “the man who saved us from President Al Gore.”

The brave people who went in and got a legal count. It was history.

The PPP poll was suppressed as well I guess. The skank Wasserman has the intelligence, well, to be the head of the democratic party.

I agree with you 100 percent. We control the vast majority of the wealth in this country. We need to stop buying products advertised on the Networks, fire democrats from our companies and just stop associating with them.

Yes that seems odd to me also.

Couple that fact with the anecdotes of voters pressing the “Romney” button and having the “Obama” box checked, and I suspect this country is being taken over by forces loyal to Mr. Soros.
