4. I Fully Realize That It Is A GOP Tactic. Look At Nov. 2014. The GOP Still Made Big Gains.

The last shutdown did not seem to hurt the GOP at all. In Colorado we lost the Senate and just held on in the house. And we barely won back the governorship. As a former state employee a lot of Coloradans hate public employees whether they be teachers, firemen, policemen,, state or county employees. The GOP meme goes deep.

For example it will take you 5 hours to renew your drivers license in Colorado now. I spent 5 hours waiting recently. The GOP keeps saying we cannot afford to staff these offices. And we have a tax limitation amendment that stops taxes from being raised.

Just watch the media and RW blame the Dems or say both sides do it. The public is terribly stupid these days.
