When being against corruption in Washington means you're going negative.

I certainly applaud Andrew Romanoff’s effort to come out against corruption and special interests in Washington and I am inspired by his message.  It signifies to me a legislator who not only has the right message but one who will fight on behalf of Main Street in Washington.

It’s a bit conflicting that so many here would line up to trash a politician, a former Speaker of the House with a stellar record while supporting one who shows through his contribution log and his votes that he protects his paymasters.  What are my facts? They are a quote from Senator Bennet about protecting banks and a no vote on the cram-down and of course his dubious appointment as well as his connections that landed him his coveted seat.

Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., warning of “unintended consequences in the bill,” urged Dodd to create a bipartisan product before moving forward.http://www.financial-planning.com/news/senate-pan-regulatory-reform-bill-2664652-1.html

It is concerning that those who post on here know that the Banks have screwed Main Street while lining their pockets and yet those posters could care less about what  the gridlock in Washington is doing to our country but  instead hope for a few minutes of fame here on Colorado Pols.  Do you care about our country? Do you care that special interests and corporations have driven our country to the brink of disaster? Or are you more concerned with getting points with Colorado Pols, points that are not earned but taken at the expense of others by biting insulting comments and spins that are Orwellian.  By the way Andrew Romanoff would have been there for us. He would have voted in favor of the cram-down and he will vote for banking reform.
