Udall has bad case of Beltway disease

Mark Udall is our servant? Approval rates for Congress are below 10 percent. Reason: Regardless of party, the longer a congressman is in office, the more polarized his/her voting record becomes.

Most senators wait until their second term to forget why they are there, and whom they are serving. Mark Udall wasted no time in abrogating his responsibilities to Colorado voters. In this, his first term, he voted the Obama/party line 99 percent of the time, many times to the detriment of the people of Colorado.

Without getting into the individual bills, it simply doesn’t make sense that the other side is wrong 99 percent of the time!

He has the Beltway disease and it is hurting us and our country. There is only one cure, and that is to vote him out. On the other hand, if you vote for Mark Udall, don’t tell me how bad Congress is. I don’t want to hear it.
