We must have been very good boys and girls to receive such a gift. Embattled Democratic U.S. Senator Michael Bennet admitted to a group of law students that he hates speaking in Colorado.
Here’s the audio:
Transcript:
“I want to thank the students and faculty that are here today for the opportunity to address the Supreme Court vacancy caused by Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia’s death. You should know that I seldom give a formal speech and I don’t really like them myself, even on the floor of the U.S. Senate, much less in Colorado. This moment is unique, as it turns out, in American history, and I want to put it on the record, so I appreciate your patience….” (the Peak emphasis)
What does that mean that Sen. Bennet hates giving speeches on the “floor of the U.S. Senate, much less in Colorado”? We’ll translate it for you. Here’s what he meant:
“I hate giving speeches in the U.S. Senate, but you know where I REALLY hate giving speeches? Among the plebeian Colorado electorate, the people I represent (if I must) and the people who (please!) vote for me.”
Sen. Bennet hates giving speeches here in Colorado?
Let’s do him a favor. Perhaps Colorado should free him of this burden in Colorado come November.
He dislikes formal speeches. How do you get from that to he doesn't like to speak to Coloradans? I've heard him speak informally many times.
Well folks, except for those who are able to petition onto the primary ballot, Darryl Glenn is the man. He won handily over Natividad, Littleton, Neville, Ehlers, and all other US Senate candidates at the state assembly on Saturday. But he is an impressive candidate, prompting 5 standing ovations during his speech, which translated into over 2/3rds of the vote out of the field of 8 candidates. And yes, he is an outsider.
Nazi bitch you don't pay enough taxes to be an American. Ike would hang the Republican pres candidates and members of Congress for treason. Name one piece of legislation you Nazis made that served the American people rather than your rich masters. Damn government leaches can't even pay for the water from Lake Pueblo.
Take your liberal trolling butt to a liberal FB page. Have you nothing better to do than to follow conservative groups and make useless comments? Try the daily Kos. More your style.
He hates giving speeches in the Senate because it would force him to actually take a stand on an issue, instead of hiding behind his wishy washy excuses like "I'm carefully studying the issue" …… right up until the last moment, when he (surprise, surprise) ends up voting with Obama.
He hates giving speeches in Colorado because he might encounter critisim, or worse, be exposed as the political coward that he really is.
I have tried many times to find out his scedule, but they never post it on the web site. I once got an email notice about a townhall type meeting in Pueblo, about 20 minutes before the meeting, when Pueblo is a two-hour drive away.
Back when he was campaigning against Ken Buck, I actually received a notice of a "Townhall" in the Denver metro area (he rarely schedules any less than 100 miles from here). The notice was sent from OFA (Obama's organization), not from the Senators office.
I attended the "townhall", only to find that, out of about 50 people in the room, I was the only one invited who was not a Democrat, and that was because they thought I was (gee I don't know how that happened – wink wink – thanks OFA).
Anyway, I confronted him about his bogus graph on budget deficits, among a number of topics (I did not take a breath for about 5 minutes). I even forced him to admit his graph was wrong, but then he proceeded to cover his tracts with an equally long procession of lies. When, after he had finished, I tried to follow up with "Do I get a rebuttal?", the entire room shouted in unison "NO!!!!" …..So much for debates at a Democrat "townhall" meeting.
Amazingly, there was a Denver Post reporter at that "townhall", and even more amazing, he wanted to interview the one disenting voice. I agreed, provided he would quote me accurately and write an objective article.
The result was this article in the Denver Post: http://www.denverpost.com/campaign/ci_15996180
Even more amazing, the article was noted nationally and I was interviewed by USA Today.

Bennet has never visited my home town of Grand Junction, I had the pleasure of meeting Jerry Natividad who is running for US Senate at an assembly, and was beyond impressed at his views and policies. He is a man i can trust to be our voice FOR Colorado. A small town native man with a successful business backround.
We dont need anymore career politicians. I believe Jerry Natividad has morale and integirty and will hold those accountable in DC.
He definitely has my vote.
.
This is great news for many of the Republican US Senate candidates. But the one only political outsider who loves to travel across Colorado and speak with people especially small towns is Jerry Natividad. Join in him in his attempt to take out this Michael Bennet and join in him while he takes his western conservative values straight to Washington DC, where he will do nothing less than represent the Colorado people on the Senate floor. No more corrupt politicians like Bennett, no more going to Washington to have fun, no more lying to the Colorado people! The one and the only political outsider who will stand up for and with Colorado till the day he passes. #jerryforcolorado jerryforcolorado.com
Im ready to defeat Bennet, he knows NOTHING about Colorado.
Im voting for the "outsider" Jerry Natividad a true native who is not a career politician. Hes ready to get things done and listen to the people of Colorado!

Y'all take the 'bully' in 'bully pulpit' pretty seriously, don't you? However, lying is probably not a good long term strategy, so I'd suggest you avoid it.
Republicans talk alot but do nothing.
Possably California would like you … I'm 3RD generation Colorado . You are big a problem for Colorado. Go back to where you're from !!!!
I'd like to see Ryan Frazier replace you in Nov!
Where can we find out who is running for US Senator with an unbiased analysis before the State Asembly, any resources out there other than names?
We have the perfect cure for Michael Bennet's hatred of speaking to the little people of Colorado, it's called Ped Peggy Littleton!
Throw this Colorado transplant to the curb. All his is; an Obama plebe. SAD4CO
