Not all Dems are Elizabeth Warren, The Money Side is Embodied by Hickenlooper

I found this article on Salon today and thought yes that is Hinkenlooper for sure.  Great, the nation is catching on to Hinkenlooper's worship of money and those that provide it to him.  Hinkenlooper is popular today but it doesn't mean he will be for much longer.  The nation is changing quite rapidly and Elizabeth Warren represents the new America while Hinkenlooper is immovable in the camp of money as Salon so eloquently puts it.  On every issue near and dear to restoring sanity to our country Hinkenlooper is on the wrong side of the issue.  I'm not happy with Hinkenlooper but it doesn't mean I support Republicans. However, Hinkenlooper needs to get with the program.  The country is changing and he is either going to change with it or he won't be popular much longer, he will be loathed.  Here are the defining issues that will break Hinkenlooper if he continues supporting harmful legislation:

• Fracking – we aren't going to take much more of his drinking comments

• Education – we have dismantled education long enough

• Labor – really Hickenlooper

• Foreclosures – where are you while our property rights and property records are being destroyed

• Pension & PERA – When are you going to figure out that the banks have raided all our pensions by selling toxic REMICS, RMBS

Despite its image of unity, the Democratic Party has its own internal divide pitting money vs. principle

Despite its success in recent elections, and despite the image of unity it projects, the Democratic Party is in the throes of an epic identity crisis pitting its corporate money against its stated principles. The recent actions of two of the party’s rising stars — Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren — tell the deeper tale of that crisis. It is a microcosmic story, suggesting that the 2016 election may be a decisive turning point in the party’s history.

The money side of the schism is embodied by Hickenlooper. As the new vice-chairman of the Democratic Governors Association, the former petroleum geologist and beer mogul represents a cabal of Democratic politicians whose brand couples moderate positions on social issues with hard-edged corporatism on economic ones.
