    He wouldn't have to steal off America and take lobby money like the rest of them... He's obviously running for the power... It goes without saying that he would probably want both anyhow...

    Actually his predecessors earned it the hard way, the young'uns just happen to be fortunate enough to reap the rewards of those before them. Capitalism at it's best.
    Either way, he's going to be hard pressed to beat pearlmutter.

    Clearly, but for the past 100 years or so it's been the lucky sperm club. I've got no problems with the Coors family or their capitalist roots.

    Clever commercials don't disguise the fact that he'd be the 2nd richest member of congress. Do we need more of THAT?!

    Sadly, it DID concern him. He sits atop one of the largest beer brewing & distributing companies in the worls. Any time he can keep a union down, he makes a few percent more on his fortune...

    Just one more case of when the ultra rich can buy their way into office. Makes me sick. However, that being said, Coors seems like a decent candidate and so long as there is an (R) after his name then I'll support him if he is the candidate.

    No matter what you think of California politics- we watched as two very wealthy titans of Silicon Valley spent more (personal) money than most people can count, only to lose their elections. Let's keep that trend goign in Colorado this time- don't let the rich buy this election!

    I could really care less how much money a candidate may or may not have.

    I care that they have the best interest of the people, State and Country in mind.

    Yeah, but that won't get you anywhere because it doesn't fit the Marxist/Democrat/Union narrative that all rich people are out-of-touch evil white robber barons and capitalism is unfair (a lie that even people on the right seem to believe).
    Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

    I agree 100%, however, sometimes THAT person doesn't get in office because their wealthy opponent outspent them in ads. I would prefer to see a matched funds campaign, no candidate can outspend the other in the final outcome - this would be a huge hit considering independents won't have the bucks and a lot of thought would have to be put behind this because there are so many ins and outs of it, but it would even the field at least a little.

    Which "beer brewing & distributing company" does Joe sit atop of?
