Have you ever lived there or even been there? It is a very beautiful state, with exceptional scenery, mountains, skiing, natural beauty, and great people. Think Colorado without the Leftists.

It may be all those things but it is still sparsely populated - which is what the poster said.

Actually he was correct but only in theory, which he treated as reality, a problem throughout his 8 years. Obama's inability to deal with reality can be taken as lies or incompetence, your choice.


Liberals willingly sacrifice innocent lives to achieve the theoretical goal of no guns equal no gun deaths by passing reams of ineffective laws, which when taken together, essentially amount to a ban of private firearm ownership. This allows them to say, we are not trying to take your guns away. A variation on the assurance that if you like your gun you can keep your gun. We know how that worked for healthcare.

He said it was a "barren wasteland". The Mohave Desert is a barren wasteland. Wyoming IS NOT. Sparsely populated does not make it a "wasteland".

I'd prefer for folks to think "wasteland" when they think Wyoming. Let's not overdo the "it's a beautiful place" thing, please. We like it here and we like it empty.

He did not take into consideration that the racial makeup of a population has a huge impact on murder rates.

Absolutely horrid place. Don't come... I mean... don't go there.

Let Wyoming decide what they want.

Guns shouldn't be allowed in bars.

I don't blame you. I saw what happened to Colorado when I lived there when people "discovered" it.
