(Promoted by Colorado Pols) This diary is about small victories, local heroes, sweet stories, random kindnesses, unexpected grace, cold justice served up on a hot plate. As always, your interpretation of what is “good news” is probably different than mine, and categories often overlap. Attorneys General across the country (including Colorado’s Coffman) are claiming that […]
We’re obliged to bring to our readers’ attention a distressing situation affecting one of our longtime readers and guest bloggers, Paonia-based environmental activist Pete Kolbenschlag. For years, Kolbenschlag has provided our community with insightful commentary on energy and conservation issues affecting Colorado’s energy-rich Western Slope. But as the Grand Junction Sentinel’s Dennis Webb reported this week, […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Richard Drake, the chair of the Saguache County, Colorado, Republican Party, has apparently removed an meme from his Facebook page depicting a castration device with the statement, “Make’em think twice before entering the ladies room. Share if you know what these are used for.” Drake’s decision to delete the meme came […]
MELISSA’S STORY In early October we were treated to Melissa’s Story. A story posted by ProgressNow Colorado and promoted by Colorado Pols. The story claims to have gone viral with 60,000 views is 48 hours. A story with that much interest deserves to be revisited in light of the November 8, election results. Coloradans, heart […]
I’ve previously chronicled the various positions of Colorado Republicans on Trump, but this time I ran into problems categorizing their stances. As you’ll see below, there’s Never Trump, Dumped Trump, Maybe Trump, Love Trump, and many more. It’s confusing to be the bean counter (me), but it’s undoubtedly far more taxing to be them, trying to […]
UPDATE: From Gail Schwartz’s campaign via the Twitters: Let’s get 2 things clear: I deeply respect miners & families, & attacks on me won’t bring jobs back https://t.co/Hj95wXSwpm @coloradopols — GailForCongress (@GailForCongress) September 9, 2016 —– As the Grand Junction Sentinel’s Charles Ashby reports, GOP incumbent Rep. Scott Tipton is feeling the heat from Democratic challenger […]

(Very classy — Promoted by Colorado Pols) I called Raymond Garcia, a Republican candidate for Colorado state house, after I saw a couple memes he posted for his Facebook friends.

(Yeesh, another one? Here? Seriously? – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Otero County Republican chair Judy Rydberg Reyher says there’s no intended racism in her Facebook posts that appear to make sweeping unfavorable comments about African Americans, including, among other things, that African Americans are “hatred-filled beings” who are kept full of “hate and resentment” by […]
As the Grand Junction Sentinel’s Charles Ashby reports, a troubling red flag for incumbent GOP Rep. Scott Tipton’s campaign: Though she’s only been in the race for about three months, Democrat Gail Schwartz outraised the Republican she hopes to replace in Washington, U.S. Rep. Scott Tipton. Schwartz, a two-term member of the Colorado Senate whose […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) It was good to see 9News’ Brandon Rittiman and Kyle Clark press Republican U.S. Senate candidates last night about Trump’s racist comment that an Hispanic judge won’t give Trump a fair shake in court. And also, asking the candidates if they support the billionaire TV star. It seems sometimes that reporters […]
(If you are going to make ridiculous racist statements…would it kill you to double-check your grammar first? — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Delta County Republican Chair Linda Sorenson is under fire for sharing a Facebook post comparing Obama to a Chimp, as well as other posts in the same racist vein, including one in support […]

(The rush to save face – Promoted by Colorado Pols) UPDATE: Sorenson apologized today “being insensitive and not thinking of others in the heat of the moment” when she shared a Facebook meme comparing Obama to a Chimp, but she also complained that “the left is only about tolerance when they are demanding that YOU tolerate their […]
Republican Rep. Scott Tipton says there’s “no room for racism” in his party. But from Donald Trump to Delta County, Colorado, their words and actions prove that’s not true. Sign our petition demanding that racist Republicans in Colorado step down or are removed by party leadership if they refuse. Last month, Delta County Republican Party […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) UPDATE: U.S. Rep. Scott Tipton (R-CO) tolde the Colorado Statesman through a spokesperson that racism has “no place” in the GOP. But he did not call for Sorenson’s resignation. ——————- The Grand Junction Sentinel’s Charles Ashby reports today that not only is the NAACP calling for the resignation of Delta County Republican Chair Linda […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) The Grand Junction Sentinel is defending its decision to publish a Facebook post, shared by Delta County Republican Chair Linda Sorenson, comparing Obama to a Chimpanzee: …we’ve received several letters scolding us, in essence, for not sanitizing the news.
