NRSC Launches New Colorado TV Ad, “Challenges”

We were shocked when Gov Ritter appointed Michael Bennet who at the time was Superintendent of Denver Public Schools to replace Salazar. We are not too sure how he got that job except as a political reward. Bennet served two years as Denver Mayor Hickenlooper's Chief of Staff so he went from Chief of Staff to Superintendent of DPS?

Now Hickenlooper is running for Governor and Bennet was appointed to fill the Senate seat of Salazar who is the Obama Energy Secretary and has done a really poor job especially with the Gulf Oil Spill and fallout for starters.  Doesn't look like to us that Bennet was cut out to be Superintendent of DPS as fast as he took the job as a Senator and announced he would run for election.

Now the voters of Colorado have a chance to send Republican Ken Buck to the Senate who will represent and listen to his constituents versus the Obama supporter Bennet who is fully on board the Obama agenda in the Senate. Bennet scored an '8' conservative voting record in 2009 after replacing Salazar. His Democrat counterpart in the Senate had a '16' voting record in 2009. No wonder the people we have met in Colorado are fed up with their Senators. Parts of Colorado may be more liberal but most of that State doesn't come close to being that liberal.

Ken Buck needs the support and votes of 'Common Sense' people from Colorado to send a message to the President -- no more liberal agenda! 

NRSC Launches New Colorado TV Ad, “Challenges"
Monday, October 25, 2010 @ 01:10 PM

The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) announced a new independent expenditure television advertisement in Colorado today, entitled “Challenges,” highlighting Governor Ritter’s appointed U.S. Senator Michael Bennet’s (D-CO) record of rubberstamping President Obama’s reckless spending agenda in Washington.
....

NRSC Press Secretary Amber Marchand issued the following statement today:

“While our nation suffers from an economic crisis and burdensome unemployment, Coloradans can’t afford appointed Senator Michael Bennet, who has helped his party ram through reckless spending, out-of-control debt, and job-killing tax hikes in Washington. Voters in Colorado deserve a U.S. Senator who will fight for their best interests – not another rubberstamp for President Obama’s costly partisan agenda, which has failed to create jobs while driving our national debt past $13.6 trillion.”
