Senator Bennet set to sell out Middle Class

by: Zappatero

Sun Oct 30, 2011 at 09:23:06 AM MST


This would be unbelievable, except for Democrats' recent history as corporate protectors and middle class betrayers:
If there was any doubt in your mind to just how indifferent the 1% is to the needs of the 99%, or whether Bloomberg sees Occupy Wall Street as a mere nuisance, I think this news will clear that right up:
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg will host an intimate dinner at Gracie Mansion on Sunday night that brings together a bipartisan group of senators, Xerox chief executive Ursula Burns and other business and labor leaders to discuss how to pave the way for the Super Committee to "go big" and cut $4 trillion in federal spending, according to a source familiar with the dinner.

The Washington contingent includes Democratic Sens. Michael Bennet and Mark Warner and Republican Sens. Bob Corker, and Saxby Chambliss, among others. The meeting will be a much smaller, more strategic affair -- 10 to 20 people -- than a similar dinner Warner threw at his home in September, which had a guest list of 60.

The records of the meeting should be released to the public immediately and Bennet should come clean on everything that goes on there. Michael Bennet continues to be disgusting failure as a representative of the people of Colorado.

Maybe a Tea Party senator wouldn't have been so bad after all - at least they laid their cards out up front.

Although I probably shouldn't get hooked....
once again, I ask, "How on Earth do you know Bennet will be there, why he is going, what he plans on doing there, and what his positions are?"

I will defend the middle class under any and all circumstances, but trashing good Dems without any evidence to back you up makes some progressives look incredibly stupid.

I don't know the first thing about this event, but I do know Michael Bennet has my  family's best interests at heart... and we are not millionaires. We are regular people. Why? Because I know the guy and have talked to him countless times. Go ahead -- rage against The Man. Rage against the Machine. Rage against whatever the hell you want to rage against, but don't make shit up. Here's his record. No, really. Look at it. http://projects.washingtonpost...

Now, tell me again what makes you so sure he will sell out on social safety net programs? Facts, please.


My opinions here do not reflect any organization or group with which I may be affiliated.  


Two examples
1.  Public option
2.  Pushing charterization/privatization strategies like Race to the Top.

We know that you think he's a good guy.  We're all entitled to our opinions here.

3. Opposition to mortgage relief (cramdown)

"... what makes you so sure he will sell out on social safety net programs? "
Well, for starters, how 'bout the fact that he has publicly stated that he wholeheartedly supports selling out on social safety net programs?

Is that enough evidence for you, Peacemonger?

Is there a point at which you will acknowledge that the man has totally exploited your misplaced loyalty, Monger? What would it take? If Michael Bennet nailed your head to a coffee table, would you still think he's worthy of your eternal ebullient praises?
