Tom Rinaldo
(22,911 posts)Of course that video hit home for you, and hurt deeply. I'm so sorrry.

Tom Rinaldo
(22,911 posts)... but even if he was a total stranger it still is a tragedy what happened to him. That's why we are all here together tonight. Politics mater.

(114,904 posts)If you're still saying that both both parties are the same, that dems are just repuke light, you have an agenda that doesn't include the truth. Is the democratic party flawed? Of course. Are the differences between the dems and repubs huge? You bet your ass.

Panasonic
(2,921 posts)I can say Ken Salazar is one of the people that needs to leave government forever.
He's a DINO and I never liked him when he stole the seat right from Mike Miles (via outside $$$) when Nightmare (Nighthorse-Campbell) retired.
Michael Bennet is also someone else I do not like - he took Salazar's seat when Salazar was nominated to the Interior. We tried to throw him out during the primaries, but outside $$$ influenced Bennet over Andrew Romanoff (my preference).
