And it's not just Hick. Senator Bennet is equally in the pocket of big business. And Senator Udall is not much better.
What is wrong with our politicians in Colorado? We do have a few good ones. It's time to reorganize and take over the Democratic Party in Colorado.
reorg is next Saturday @ Marriot, 1701 California
Can you provide a link or more information?

It says "sold out" but I assure you some of the tickets purchased (sold) will not be used.
Dinner sold out, but re-org meeting at 10am would not be.
Realist is correct. I'll be attending as a member of our local central committee and I'll file some report here, likely not until Sunday 3/3 as I may not sign on after I drive home on 3/2. All weather dependent
What's wrong with our [Democrat] politicians in Colorado?
Us. Our priorities.
We readily get riled about "social" issues, they respond. Hell, sometimes I think we're the GG&G party. We even see dire constitutional challenges to "equal protection under the law" as "social issues": gay marriage, trans-vaginal penetration, voter disenfranchisement we view as affronts to our social conscience instead of attacks on the legal stability of our nation.
We don't get very riled about broader economic issues, they follow. When was the last time we really got pissed about the fact that so many of our fellow citizens are struggling (dying) in poverty?
Except for war we don't usually get riled about foreign policy, they recognize that. Trade agreements? Yeah, some of us see them as furthering corporate subjugation of the World's people, but are we aware we're a part of those people being trampled by those agreements, and do we get really pissed?
Our politicians are who we make them to be.
Frankly, I think Mr. Sirota (whom you failed, unfortunately, to identify as the author of this analysis) is correct in identifying an underlying tension in the Democratic Party, but it's not a "divide" between money and (so-called) principles. We must recognize that those people who are principled are those who agree with us; the rest are unprincipled. For my (quite socialist) taste, Mr. Sirota is a tad Tea Partiest in his inflexible insistence on his principles.
In his pursuit of controversy, he's also jumped the gun on the 2016 scenario. Neither Hickenlooper nor Warren will run for president in '16. It's too early for her, and it will be too late for him.
GalapagoLarry we need more Dems like you. I hate even being a part of the party that's how apathetical they are. But then again I don't think it's apathy I think they too have bought into the me, me, me it's all about me party which encompasses both the Republican and the Democratic parties.
Thx, LO. We need more Dems, period, though I would like to see more of the leftist bent. And more who uphold the FDR/Harry Truman tradition of the party, and uphond it with conviction and spine.
