Another GOP Politician As Cruelly Dumb As Bush And Just As Bigoted As The Rest of The "New" GOP

The Blue State brings us this horrendously awful story which combines bigotry, with idiotic talking points, and comes wrapped up in a red, white, and blue IQ of less than 70 in yet another Republican politician (my God, he's running for governor!):

Now this is enough to get your blood boiling. Colorado Republican Congressman Bob Beauprez, who is also running for governor in that state, said in a radio interview on Monday that 70% of all African-American pregnancies end in abortion:
    "In some of our ethnic communities, we're seeing very, very high percentages of babies, children, pregnancies end in abortion," Beauprez said in an interview broadcast on Colorado Public Radio. "I've seen numbers as high as 70 percent, maybe even more, in the African-American community that I think is just appalling."
It looks like someone is jealous of George Allen! Obviously the number Beauprez gave was inaccurate, and he apologized on Wednesday. Even though he did say he was sorry, Colorado voters have to ask themselves whether they want to elect a governor that just throws around numbers like that in order to score points with a fringe demographic.
