| I hear over and over again that Michael Bennet can take special interest money while fighting the special interests. I hear over and over again that he's going to clean up Washington.
Michael Bennet, despite claiming in a campaign video that he's been cleaning up Washington since he got there, has yet to actually do anything of the sort. He introduced one piece of legislation regarding lobbyists -- a piece of legislation that has gone absolutely nowhere, leading me and many others to believe it was nothing but a smokescreen. Bennet even made sure to add loopholes so his Chief of Staff Guy Cecil wouldn't be affected by the "reform."
Michael Bennet's campaign is funded by lobbyists and special interests. Those same DC lobbyists and special interests that our president campaigned against are supporting Michael Bennet.
So to those of you who, like me, fought to elect our president -- a man who took a stand against the special interests by rejecting the money that corrupts Washington, take a minute to watch that video again.
I can only think that the same words that Obama used against his opponent apply to Michael Bennet when he says he can take the money and fight against them:
I mean come on -- they must think you're stupid |
