What in the world is wrong with Republican politicians from Colorado? It seems that many of them have major latent racist tendencies. I’ve already written about Tom “Mexicans Will Kill Your Grandchildren” Tancredo. Today, we have a choice quote from Senator Wayne Allard:

In fact, Sen. Allard, R-Colo., said the legislation would make Weld County more dangerous for his constituents. He said illegal immigrants bring prostitution and drug trafficking with them. About illegal immigrants, he said, ‘They’re all the same bad characters.

This gallery of photos shows exactly why I could never live in Kansas: it’s too damned scary! Here in Colorado, bad weather means a major snowstorm or some hail. But not tornadoes! I refuse to live anywhere that tornadoes routinely strike. They scare the hell out of me!
