( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Before liberals vomit and conservatives reach for the Vaseline, let me just say, “Relax.” Few weeks ago, I attended a party in Briargate, northern Colorado Springs, which is the heart of Dobson Land. Focus Freaks everywhere and yet there I stood, at a gathering with my fellow Heebs on […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Well, here’s my take of the Lincoln Day Dinner, since I was ya know…there. First off, whoever said that the turnout was going to be low is waaaaaayyyyy off. There were a TON of people there, at least six or seven hundred. They were energized and pumped. Romney gave […]
So . . . I’m enquiring of someone about getting 2 seats for this Wednesday’s El Paso County, Colorado Lincoln Day Dinner, right? And she cracks a joke. “You’ll have to buy ’em from Rayburn. He’s got a corner on the market with 6 tables.” Says I, “Six tables!” Says she, “Yeh. It’s his 5th […]
FYI – Senate votes are expected soon (aka. today or later this week) on various proposals related to the Iraq War. Head on over to Working Assets for an update later today. – D John Kerry had a bad case of it in 2004. The consultants, operatives and self-described strategists in the Democratic Party’s Washington […]
In 2005, I wrote a national op-ed for Knight Ridder newspapers that showed how when right-wing congressional politicians return home as governors from the fantasy land known as Washington, D.C., they often drop their conservative economic elitism in the face of reality. Last week, I wrote that the conservative movement in the Rocky Mountain West […]
We are hearing persistent rumors about a coordinated effort by Republicans to target Democrat and liberal independent county commissioners for November recall elections. We’ve held off posting about it up to now, but reports are starting to pop up all over the Western Slope. In Eagle County, a recall bid was announced last week against […]
This Saturday, global warming is going to be the talk of the town. In fact, it’s going to be the talk of the world as the Live Earth concerts – spanning 24 hours and all seven continents – turns the eyes of the world toward action on global warming. While the world is thinking globally […]
(This is a user-created diary. Post your own by creating an account using the menu to the right. – promoted by Colorado Pols) There is a story that warms the heart of every Washington-based pundit, liberal or conservative, Republican or Democrat, a story that hearkens back to the heady Boys on the Bus days – […]
(This is a user-created diary. Post your own by creating an account using the menu to the right. – promoted by Colorado Pols) I ask because I do not have an informed opinion. I am a conservative and will vote for Musgrave in the next election. I’m actually excited about “Musgrave 2.0”, anytime you have […]
(This is a user-created diary. Post your own by creating an account using the menu to the right. – promoted by Colorado Pols) What fascinates/disturbs me so much about the concept of longtime Washington lobbyist Fred Thompson as a frontrunner for president with cross-regional, “outsider” political appeal is not anything the Tennesssee Republican has said […]
Every once in a while, an attorney will give us a little straight talk –sometimes at his or her own risk.1 For example, Denver attorney Gary Tucker wrote, in a comment published in a 2006 issue of the First Judicial District Bar Association newsletter regarding South Dakota’s judicial immunity ballot initiative: This topic deserves more […]
That’s the rumor. I was holding off passing that along until I had more information and now that I do, I must say that I personally believe this to be true. Rayburn is waiting to declare and reportedly will use Will Perkins’ recruiting him as the “excuse” for so doing. What Rayburn apparently doesn’t know, […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) This is, as will soon be obvious, not a diary on Colorado politics. But it touches on important ideas about government and our future that are fundamental to our core beliefs; it is something that we cannot avoid and should not shun away from discussing. The committees of the […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) This is my first post at ColoradoPols – a site I’ve been reading since well-before I moved to Denver from Montana two weeks ago. It’s good to be here – and I’m excited to contribute! – D Politically, I don’t usually agree with the Denver Post’s David Harsanyi – […]
As the Boulder Daily Camera reports: Congressional candidate Jared Polis sent an e-mail this week to members of the gay and lesbian community asking for financial support based on his sexual orientation. In the appeal, Polis encouraged recipients to “make history” by helping in an effort to send the first-ever “non-incumbent openly gay man” to […]
Best wishes to Sen. Steve Johnson. As The Fort Collins Coloradoan reports: Sen. Steve Johnson, R-Larimer County, was admitted into Poudre Valley Hospital Tuesday morning suffering from a heart attack. Johnson, a member of the powerful Joint Budget Committee and a long-time elected official from the Fort Collins area, said he is feeling better and […]
There’ll be no official penalties for Colorado Concern lobbyist William Mutch stemming from his deceitful robocalls to targeted house districts over a homeowner’s protection bill in the legislature this spring, as the Rocky Mountain News reports: State House and Senate leaders have accepted an ethics panel’s recommendation not to punish a lobbyist, even though fact- […]
(Note: The Cliff’s Notes version is here: http://www.coloradop….) There is no question that Mike Nifong got what he deserved, for prosecuting an alleged “crime” for which he knew there was no credible evidence, due to the identities of the alleged victim and perps (and how the case might reflect on his political ambitions). As the […]
So Obama admits it was wrong and then says all those bad things we said about Hillary, well I’m for that too! Not to mention he now has made it a three day story instead of a one or two. I believe that your concerns with the memo are justified. To begin with, the memo […]
This is part 2, I suppose, of my earlier diary on this subject. The role of fathers in American society seems to be diminishing and, at the same time, the evident harm of his decline is everywhere. That decline has been recognized here in Colorado with, for example the Governor’s Initiative on Responsible Fatherhood. It […]

According to the Washington Post blog “The Fix”: 1. Colorado (R): The race between former Rep. Bob Schaffer (R) and Rep. Mark Udall (D) for the seat being vacated by Sen. Wayne Allard (R) is likely to be won by the candidate best able to define his opponent as being out of the state’s mainstream. […]
As the Pueblo Chieftain reports: As lawmakers prepare to debate the 2008 Defense Department military construction bill, Reps. Marilyn Musgrave, R-Colo., and John Salazar, D-Colo., have joined forces in offering an amendment that would ban the Army from spending any money next year on the proposed expansion of the Pinon Canyon training site, including money […]
(6/15 – As seen at Westword.com – promoted by Colorado Pols) Pols update: this video appears to have been removed by YouTube, most likely for copyright infringement reasons… When your campaign ad looks like it was cobbled together by a 16-year-old using buggy freeware and a pirated DVD, that ain’t a good sign: And talk […]
Why was Doug Lamborn not included as a signer on the letter requesting a review of the Army’s plans for Pinon Canyon? Three other members of the House Armed Services Committee signed the letter. Could it be that Doug Lamborn is not actually “on leave” from the Armed Services Committee and that he once again […]
