@srvblueslvr Socialized programs? You make sure you don't lose your job and collect unemployment. If you have children, don't send them to public schools. I wonder what would you say if Obama's big spending programs was during a time if unemployment was 7%? No one complained when Dems and Reps in the past spent a lot of money.

@Tiqure When did all of sudden people started to care about politicians have their consent? I'm basing this on you saying most people don't want "Obamacare." I'm not a big fan of the healthcare bill and how it passed and this is what most Americans are disappointed about. 80% of the bill is what Democrats and Republicans and most Americans agree about. Americans don't want to be turned away because of pre-existing conditions, dropped when you are sick, people don't like the insurance mandate.

@Mr40acresandamule You shouldn't be glad to hear that, it means he would rather vote on what he wants instead of the american people's wishes. Most Americans don't want obamacare, but Bennet doesn't care. Vote him out!

Just the fact that Bennett voted for socialized healthcare is all I need to know about the man. Being new to Colorado.....I'll be glad to vote against Bennett. He supports all of Obama's big spending, big government socialist programs that this country simply can't afford. Bennett isn't the kind of guy to stop the out of control spending these guys are doing. We need some people with some balls to make the hard decisions to cut our government addition to drunkin' spending.

@loki1830 Do you believe it is right to compare affording healthcare to affording internet. Internet is free. You can go to the public library or school to get internet access. Internet access is basically around $25.00 a month or so. I'm talking about if some needs dental work, or a major surgery. These two can cost hundreds and thousands of dollars. People use the term "handout" to suggest that these people choose to not do on their own and that is a myth.

@Mr40acresandamule . Lots of local and state health care for people that cannot afford it. I did not have health care for a while and I did not ask for government handouts. If you can afford internet you can afford health care

[Mr40acresandamule]

@loki1830 How are people supposed to get healthcare if they can't afford it?

[Mr40acresandamule]

I was glad to hear Bennett say in an interview on CNN that he would risk losing his Senate seat by voting the healthcare legislation. That is bravery. There are a lot of politicians are voting for policies so they can save face with their constituentsand stay in office.
