Colorado GOP Takes Flyers on Tea Party, Buck; Dems Stick With Bennet

Watch the Republicans attack Social Security, and Medicare as Socialist Programs. While at the same time they've helped Companies Ship Jobs overseas. Republicans for workers and the Middle Class is a laugh.

Our political partys are a joke, a frace and a sharade. They consist of a bunch of lawyers adept at deceiving a bunch of High-School graduates ( we-the-people).

Dems are driving Colorado into a financial ditch, just like everywhere else. And their illegal-immigration-friendly state will suffer greatly if Dems legalize illegals in 2011 as planned, and their citizens are competing with 10-20 millions illegals for jobs.

I find it interesting that the author of the article says that Michael Bennet "survived" the primary. Gee, since he won by a respectable margin, I'd call that a "win" not "survived"! I know Jill leans to the right, but a win by this margin is a win, not a "survival". So much negative reporting. He won, ok??? Lucky Colorado, I say!!! WOO HOO!!! On to November!

Makes little difference. Even in Colorado, any candidate will be a big problem for Democrats. They aren't as stupid as Democrats think.

So what are my choices this November..re-elect the party that grew the federal govt larger than all groups since the new deal from 2000-2006. The party that tripled the national debt while waging 2 wars on a credit card. Thats in bed with every corporate interest from insurance to big pharma and couldn't give a damn about the small businesses of America, despite paying lip service to small business job creation.
Wait whats my other choice..oh the party that has had power for the past 6 years. also in bed with wall street, big pharma and the Insurance companies. The party that decided that since the republicans ballooned the debt they would continue that moronic idea.
I'm waiting for a true third party that will mediate the river of bad ideas that the Reps and Dems continue to force on us.
Ideas.
1 Force all banks that recieved TARP money to show that they will substantially increase lending to small businesses this process should be transparent, so we can see which of these banks will comply.
2 Withdraw all forces from Afghanistan as we are losing too many young men and women with no real end game in sight and save over $200 billion a year. The Chinese have been buying and paying for our wars since 2004 and we are too beholden to them to enforce a new trade policy.
3 Impose Tariffs on goods from foreign countries that skirt GATT rules and don't allow US goods to compete like China and Korea.
4 We have spent the last 25 years exporting jobs to India, China, Mexico and Vietnam and have lost over 60% of our manufacturing capacity since then. It may be great for share prices but its bad for the US worker and unless we implement 3 these jobs will never return.
5 Lastly on illegal immigration.
As an employer I can easily check the immigration status ( for free) of any potential employee through e-verify. The states with the least use of e-verfiy are Arizona. Texas and California, which leads me to believe that they would rather hire cheap illegal aliens when they need them but com-plain abiut then when the economy downturns. There are substantial penalties in the 1986 Immig law for employers that KNOWINGLY hire illegal aliens but you rarely see them enforced.
Its simple..provdie me with a drivers licence and proof of citizenship (or permanent residency) I can check on e-verify and hire or fire on that basis.
Lastly is there a current incsrnation of Teddy Roosevelt out there that wants to resurrect the Bull Moose party to take on these modern day Robber barons. I for one am sick to death of the donkey braying and the elephant trumpeting !

Did you mean the Dems are STUCK with Bennet, or they stuck with Bennet out of some misguided loyalty to the POTUS? Keith said it very well.........Bennet has proved himself to be a Party man. Please, voters, match what the candidates have done in the past, with what they are telling you today. Where is the integrity when past actions of a candidate tells you his words today are false? Can you trust the tiger has changed stripes? I don't think so.

Mr. Bennett was appointed by Mr. Ritter to fill out a term - promised he wasn't going to run once his appointment was finished. That's how we can believe what he says. He hasn't been bipartisan, hasn't listened to the majority of voters in Colorado when making his voting choice, he's one of the same cookie-cutter politicans who does not deserve to continue in Congress. Come on Colorado - we need someone who will listen to us.

It would appear that the "throw all of the incumbents out" campaign is taking hold with the voters. This might be a bad idea in some cases as there are still a few good people in Washington.

People need to take the time to see what indididuals did or did not do while in office. Look at it this way. All of these "newbies" could benefit from the few good people in Washington.

The money spent on campaigns is ridiculous. No wonder both parties are such a turn off to so many Americans.
