Todays' GOP is trying hard to prove Mr. Mann to be wrong….
I'm dying to see how MIchael Bennet comes out of the chute next year.
Will he continue with the losing "conservadem" strategy? Will he be one of the last of the Blue Dogs? Will he be one of the last of the Wall Street Democrats?
I think Bennet is hoping to ride Hillary's coattails on a substance free campaign to an easy re-election in '16. That's most likely what our Benign Overlords here think will happen, hence the 80% re-elect odds. I think those odds give Bennet way too much credit, and as Democratic voters have shown quite clearly: it isn't the money you have or the campaign you run, it's the job you do before the campaign that counts.
Bennet hasn't done much of a job up until now. It's about time he starts.
From Congressman Polis' Facebook feed this evening:
Time to let my conservative Congresscritters know that I don't like their stinkin' budget.
I really wish Dems would take the offensive on this one, get on every media outlet, bring in people to tell the story of how it will affect them.
And what the hell is an "insular area of the United States", anyway?
Insular: since it involves the interior dept, perhaps an end run on leasing restrictions ( drill, baby, drill) Or , a bailout for the poor energy companies getting screwed by falling oil prices. Insular- a rogue band of millionaire cowboys (over half of the 535 congressional body are indeed, millionaires).
Bill Moyers recent segment; any effort to petition congress( by citizens) results in absolutely NO MOVEMENT OF THE NEEDLE. Study: Congress spends over half of their time dialing for dollars to perpetuate the cycle.
