Salazar’s craven act
Sen. Ken Salazar’s vote for President Bush’s illegal wiretapping program was an act of absolute cowardice.
I consider the senator to be my friend, having known him since his campaign in 2004 when we met several times on the campaign trail in eastern Colorado. I have had conversations with him many times since then at various meetings and at his town hall meetings. The idea that he would vote to allow Bush’s past illegal wiretaps of U.S. citizens’ phone calls to become legal and absolve the president of responsibility for all those felonies is quite stunning to say the least.
Now Bush can say with certainty, “I am above the law that applies to everyone else thanks to those spineless cowards in the Congress.”

Salazar should be a one-termer. I hope a good progressive runs against him.

A real (that is truthful) progressive couldn’t win outside of Denver and the ESR of Boulder (Elite Socialist Republic). With Salazar you’ve got it all, liberal voting, he understands the country has to actually protect itself, Hispanic, articulate, maybe a touch disingenuous. The only thing a real progressive would do is drag him to the left and hurt his chances against a decent conservative.
