Senators disappoint
Monday, September 24 at 12:01 AM

I’m disappointed that both of Colorado’s senators voted against an amendment to suspend earmarks to the transportation bill until deficient bridges are repaired. These earmarks will fund such “essential” projects as a Las Vegas museum. I wonder if this museum will have a memorial to the people killed when the bridge in Minneapolis collapsed.

Scott Vickrey, Denver

Shut up! You voted for Shamnesty Salazar and Wayne's World, knowing they were both communist-siders, draft-dodgers, surrender monkeys, and defeatist. Both have a collective history of only serving themselves. The "serfs" were silent while the Salazar brothers were voting in congress, for their own federal farm subsidy ($484K welfare) to pay their criminal illegal Mexican farm workers. McCain, to the frustration fo disabled vets, won't vote for disabled vets' pay raises.

Shamnesty and Wayne's World are like STD's, the gift that keeps on giving. They were the GOP leaders that nullified the votes of blacks living in N.E. Denver. Through a slick Texas-style redistricting, they arranged for criminal illegal Mexicans to register and vote. Results, for the 1st time decades, there are no blacks on RTD's board of Directors (13 white plantation massas and 2 Latinos). Bull Connor must be busting his gut. Hiding under the desks singing stanzas from "We Shall Overcome", are T.Carroll, Marshall, Hancock, Groff, Patterson, Wedgeworth-less, Jones, Denver Greater Ministerial Alliance, NAACP, Milliner, Poole, etc.

Shamnesty and Wayne's World are also Bush's henchmen, for enforcing his faith-based initiative. These BENEDICT ARNOLDS stole black disabled Vietnam veterans job and contracting preferences in the Fitzsimons redevelopment project, and gave those financial gifts to the Mormon Church. All of the federal funded jobs and contracts were given to construction comapny owners who are members of the LDS cult.

Forest Cason (Uncle "T", draft dodger, soul brother and former UCH CFO), sold out black disabled Vietnam veterans. Rev. Al Sharpton followed Cason's lead, because the last I heard of Rev. Al, he was on knees sucking up to LDS bigots in SLC. Brimhall (former UCH CEO) pimped and exploited Cason, so he could emotionally and financially rape black vets and their struggling families.

Draftdodging:
Your nonsensical rants don't seem to serve much purpose as it is, but the racist tone that they always have makes them even more ridiculous. Anyone with a shred of common sense who reads your posts will know that you're not to be taken seriously.

On the surface, earmarks look like an unnecessary evil. However upon thoughtful review one can easily see why some of these are a part of the system of fairness. Building a museum may not be a good use of earmarks, depending on its theme. But Las Vegas does not appear to need another attraction, especially at tax payer expense. Infrastructure, on the other hand, must be considered a priority.

I knew soon or later the political parties could come together on something. Both of the parties are into stealing from the citizens.
Earmarks is another word for bribes and they are at the taxpayers expense.

Politicians become brain dead upon being elected to public office.

Every time I go to the polls, regardless of strongly I may feel about a particular candidate, I have the overriding feeling of guilt as though I were entering an S&M club in search of flagellation to be administered to me.
