The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) is taking fire this afternoon after an extremely ill-advised Twitter attack on Rep.

In another edition of our long-running feature, “At Least He’s Not Your Legislator,” we visit our idiot neighbors to the East.

Sen. […]
ThinkProgress reports on a Maryland Republican doing his best Jim Welker impersonation: Appearing at a town hall meeting Wednesday night, Congressman Andy Harris (R-MD) argued that Washington, D.C. should not be a state because its residents make “irresponsible decisions.” District residents have been engaged in a decades-long fight for statehood in order to gain representation […]
Welcome to another edition of one of the longest-running features here at Colorado Pols: “At Least They’re Not Your Legislator“ (or Governor, or Senator, or whatever).

In another edition of our long-running series, At Least They’re Not Your Legislator, we take you to Toledo, Ohio, where we hope not to get smote for speaking ill of Opal Covey.

CBS News–tell us how you really feel, GOP Rep. Don Young of Alaska: Alaska Rep.

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Appearing on KNUS 710-AM’s Jimmy Sengenberger Show Saturday, Colorado GOP Chair Ryan Call emphasized his support for Colorado’s 2013 recall campaigns, when, in fact, Call flat out opposed at least one recall effort. “From a tactical perspective, frankly, the worst thing that I could do is to get to the head of […]
Republican Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin, a darling of conservatives since his campaign to weaken public sector unions after winning office in 2010, has been working to raise his profile lately in advance of a possible run for the presidency in 2016. We took note last week of Walker's comments in response to Rudy Giuliani's statements […]

On the subject of the protests raging across America over police brutality against African Americans, Roni Bell Sylvester, who Colorado political trivia aficionados will remember was a minor candidate in last year's Republican gubernatorial primary, has a very simple suggestion: What a great idea–why can't we just keep these uppity urban protesters busy in the […]
CNN reports on South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham's all too candid remarks at a private club in Charleston this month, recorded without his knowledge: South Carolina Sen.

FOX 31's Eli Stokols reports on a weekend political "robocall" with high dirty-tricks potential that failed rather spectacularly: Numerous robocalls purporting to support U.S. Senate candidate Gaylon Kent went out to voters late Saturday night and early Sunday morning, but the Libertarian candidate says his campaign was not behind them… The calls seem to be […]
Our neighbors in Kansas have got a real pickle on their hands trying to sort out that state's U.S. Senate race–a situation that could endanger Republican hopes of taking control of the U.S. Senate this year. The Democratic candidate, prosecutor Chad Taylor, withdrew to avoid splitting votes with independent candidate Greg Orman–a popular candidate with […]
Unless you live in Colorado Springs, that is, in which case we're sorry–as the Gazette's Jakob Rogers reports: Helen Collins has a unique approach to helping homeless people in Colorado Springs: Give them a bus ticket out of town and "make them work."

No, I'm not talking about Eric Cantor. And I'm not talking about Cory Gardner, either. Tonight's diary award winner is blowhard Texas Representative Steve Stockman. Stockman challenged Sen. Jon Cornyn in his state's primary and lost, which means that – fortunately – he won't be haunting the halls of Congress next year. But today we […]
From St. Petersburg, Florida, comes a story that would be an excellent April Fool's Day story…except it's not, as far as we know.

Ted Yoho in […]
As Laura Hancock of the Casper Star-Tribune reports: Wyoming’s newest legislator stands by a book he wrote nearly 30 years ago that claims many gay people demand the right to have sex with children and people with AIDS should be quarantined if they continue having sex.

The bill, which the […]
We've received the results of a new poll from Quinnipiac University, and to put it bluntly (pun intended), we learned very little. Quinnipiac is one of our favorite polling outfits in general, but this poll about Colorado Super Bowl parties and marijuana is, well, not particularly informative: Thinking about their Super Bowl buzz, 6 percent […]
As reported by Latino Rebels, the Texas Republican Party's Executive Committee has at least one member who might be better suited for another organization, perhaps one with a uniform featuring pointed white hoods: Legvold, a naturalized U.S. citizen of Cuban descent, supported her argument by posting links from StormFront, the pro-racism forum described by the Anti-Defamation league […]
