Bennet, Udall, Colorado Dems hew to Dems' party line

It’s clear there is no independent thinking or courage among Colorado’s Congressional Democrats.

They’re all for raising taxes, increasing spending. The so called tax cuts in the stimulus bill are meaningless because the Dems are intent on increasing income taxes on consumers who buy the things that create jobs.

The signals Colorado Dems are sending to business owners and consumers are clear. Higher taxes are coming. Preserve your capital. Keep your cars longer. Buy no new houses. Travel less and cut back on contributions to charities. Walmart is the place to shop, not Macy’s, Nordstrom’s, Apple or Coach.

Cancel your season tickets for the Rockies, Broncos, Nuggets and Avalanche. Stop wasting money on tickets to collegiate events.

Send your kids to the military or community colleges, not to Colorado College, CU or CSU. Indeed, don’t waste money on college. There won’t be jobs for new grads for a long time to come.

Your kids won’t even be able to get jobs waiting tables. High end restaurants are closing as taxpayers conserve their disposable incomes.

Contribute to Republicans because they will do less damage to your pocket book and the economy.

Cancel your subscriptions to the Denver Post, Rocky and other papers that support the Dems. They support the stimulus bill that is all pork.

By creating new welfare programs and making it easier to get free health care and government handouts, the Dems are telling illegal immigrants to come on in. Americans are suckers and want you take our low-paying jobs and money.

Dems are telling the poor, “Don’t worry, we’ll take care of you. You don’t have to take a job you don’t like.”

And as for the greedy health care professionals who think nationalized health care will make it easier to make money in medicine, think again. Think about how the states are cutting access to Medicaid and how you hated the HMOs of the 1990s. Enjoy the good times while they last, because you’ll soon find out what it’s like to work for Obama, Ritter, Pelosi and Reid.

Yes, Republicans also are voting the party line, but they’re out of power and have virtually no say about the stimulus bill. They’re sending a strong message that they think they can exploit the Dems’ errors in 2010 and 2012, and they’re most likely right.
