Michael Bennet just voted with eight other Dems

[locks]

and all the Senate Repugs to build the Keystone pipeline. Stupidly I thought we might count on the one Dem left to save us from Gardner and the other wingnuts we elected. He needs to hear from every Dem in Colorado that we know he has sold his soul to big oil, American and Canadian. He knows this is in no way a jobs bill, that it will further destroy our environment, and the oil will not stay in the US. We can only hope that if he understands he cannot be relected without our support he will vote to uphold Obama's veto.

1. The best solution is to find a progressive Democrat

Not a centrist, a PROGRESSIVE Democrat, and remove this slimebucket of a Dem that doesn't represent me or the state of Colorado.

Then the wave of progressiveness will be onward for '16.

I do believe Gardner'll find himself in a very hot water very soon and turn in his resignation soon.

2. Bennet needs a primary challenge.

He's a loser anyway.
As Harry Truman said, "Given a choice between a fake Republican and a real one, the public will choose the real Republican every time."

Bennet is an Anschutz toady and is basically an apologist for the one percent.

Liberals and progressives in this state are really getting fed-up with these milquetoast Democratic politicians.

If you didn't notice, I am pretty disgusted with Bennet ... Democrats could do a whole lot better than this elitist snob.

3. I'd love to see Andrew Romanoff in the Senate, but it seems he can't win.

On this board, it seems to be the meme that Democrats can't get elected because they won't run on liberal issues. Well, they have never seen Andrew. He's a true liberal and can't win on that because voters are afraid of liberals. It's that simple and has nothing to do with how right or honest that liberal is or how bad the other guy is, or even if voter's agree with liberal issues. Candidates don't even have to be liberal, just painted as a liberal. Bennet, despite this stupid vote, will probably lose in 2016 to some shiney new right wing Koch head Bennet's not a liberal, but he'll be painted as one, like Udall was.

I have written to Bennet about this vote. I'll call his office tomorrow. I asked him why he's pretending to care about the environment when this vote clearly shows he doesn't.

5. Yeah, me too. Look how well that turned out..

but I wonder if Andrew could have beaten Buck, and what a nightmare he is for our friends in the 4th. As a Senator? Oh well, Gardner is just as bad.
I would vote for and support Andrew Romanoff in any contest anywhere.

6. We'll never know how a real progressive Democrat would do in a statewide election

until we run one. Bennett sucks and Mark Udall ran the possibly worst campaign in history.
When does a progressive get a chance?
