Colorado Republicans Losses: Marilyn Musgrave and Tom Tancredo

The Republicans suffered heavy losses in 2008, but some Republican losses translate into greater wins for the rest of us.

Marilyn Musgrave
Marilyn Musgrave was a House of Representative member from Colorado since 2003. She was a far right-winger and many political organizations rated her as one of the most, if not the most, far-right conservative.

Yes, your worst nightmare, a politician closely affiliated with right-wing pseudo-Christian nutheads designed to pass a far right theocratic fascist agenda. She even received an endorsement from the Ku Klux Klan.

In 2008, Marilyn Musgrave meets her fate as she loses her seat in Congress to Democrat Betsy Markey, 44 to 56 percent.

Tom Tancredo
Tom Tancredo has been a House of Representative member from Colorado since 1999. He did everyone a favor by not seeking reelection in 2008. Tom Tancredo, the mafia terrorist from Italy, was perhaps the most racist member of Congress. Even the far right National Review labeled him an idiot.

Colorado
Colorado does have hope after all. Where Colorado was once a far right-wing red state breeding the most demented Sailer-type racists, criminals, and terrorists, Colorado is showing a more promising future. In 2008, Colorado voted for Obama and replaced a Republican U.S. Senator with Democrat Mark Udall, as well as kicked out those right-wing nutcases and racists like Marilyn Musgrave and Tom Tancredo.
