Progressive Buttons Blog

In Wyoming, progressive politics has often taking a back seat to the dominant Republicans’ right wing ideological blustering. The situation got to its worst around the height of the Bush/Cheney White House, with a misguided loyalty to Vice President Dick Cheney leading some in Wyoming to conclude that the Republicans could do no wrong.

More recently, however, the Wyoming Democratic Party has become reinvigorated with news that Gary Trauner will be confronting incumbent Republican Barbara Cubin, who currently occupies Wyoming’s seat in the House of Representatives. The Wyoming Democrats’ blog declares, “When faced with a choice of what is best for Wyoming, and what the far right wing leadership of the Republican Party tells her to do, Cubin ALWAYS caters to the far right.”

It’s always a good time to confront the servants of the far right, in Wyoming doubly so.
