The Colorado Independent: Musgrave’s made-for-TV political conversion a drama for CD 4 voters

    "She’s trumpeted her work with Rep. Mark Udall, D-Colo., to stop the Army’s expansion of Pinon Canyon in southeastern Colorado, to expand protection for Rocky Mountain National Park and to negotiate the $300 billion farm bill that Congress passed earlier this summer."

    Mark did the work she relized it was going thru with or without her so she thought she would take some of the credit.

    "Musgrave’s attendance record has also suffered during the past two years, perhaps underscoring the time spent on a tough re-election race. She missed 73 votes in 2007 and 2008, more than double the number of votes she missed in her previous four years in Congress."

    I thought we were paying her to do a job. Apparently the Wall Street and oil money was to good for her to pass up by acctually doing that job.

    "Musgrave also continues to be a loyal foot soldier in the House Republican Conference.

    Musgrave rarely breaks with her party, voting with Republicans 93 percent of the time during the past two years, according to a tally of votes compiled by the Washington Post."

    Well that would require her to do some work and research the issues. She's way to lazy for that. Let the party do the thinking she'll stamp it.

    Colorado needs a voice not a sheep.
