Buck: Republicans are also to blame for 'mess' in Washington

[ccharles000]

The Republican nominee for Senate in Colorado said Wednesday that Republican frustration with both parties in Washington politics is driving grassroots victories over establishment candidates in GOP primaries around the country.

"I think Republicans realize that Republicans are every bit as much to blame for the mess that we are in in D.C. as the Democrats," Ken Buck told CNN's John King in an interview set to air at 7 p.m. on John King USA. "And we can't send this kind of Republican to Washington, D.C. to fix this mess."

Buck said he doesn't think the Republican Party has a national leader at the moment, and he expects the GOP's 2012 presidential nominee to be selected through "a wonderful process" whereby one contender emerges from a large pool of candidates-much like he has.

"I think we're going to see a number of people get into the race," Buck said. "We'll see who has the stamina, who has the financing, who has <…> the grasp of the issues to attract voters."

2. He's not being a 'realist' here.

He believes that the GOP's 'responsibility' resides in being far too lax in dealing with Democrats in Congress. And he DOES agree with Tancredo's opinion of Obama. Buck is no statesman. He is a bigot with a contemptible agenda.

3. Ken Buck is a teapartier. Michael Bennet must win at all cost over this asshole.

You're quite right about Buck. And Tancredo is a nut, too.
