Oddly enough, the people I most enjoy discussing politics with are neither those who agree with me, nor those who don’t, but rather those who have well-thought-out positions based on reason and evidence. I am generally considered to be a “liberal,” but I have enormous respect for commentators like George Will and David Brooks, who […]
Rep. Mark Udall did it, and so did Rep. Diana DeGette. Click below to read what Rep. Doug Lamborn had to say on the issue… Mister/Madam Speaker, I rise in opposition to this resolution. There are many flaws in this resolution. One of the most serious is that while it gives lip service to a […]
Yesterday Rep. Mark Udall made remarks on the House Floor against sending additional troops to Iraq, and Friday Rep. Diana DeGette was scheduled to do the same. Click below for the full remarks… “Thank you, Madam Speaker. “I rise in strong support of House Concurrent Resolution 63. I fundamentally disagree with the President’s plan to […]
Republican Sen. Dave Schultheis, who never met a foot he didn’t like to stick in his craw, lost another battle at the legislature yesterday when his religion in schools bill was killed. As Colorado Confidential reports: In the end it didn’t matter how earnestly state Sen. Dave Schultheis claimed that his proposed bill, to require […]
UPDATE: Click below for the full text of Udall’s comments on the House floor. Colorado Rep. Mark Udall, also a candidate for U.S. Senate in 2008, will speak on the House floor today in favor of a resolution opposing President Bush’s plan to send more troops to Iraq. According to a press release: Udall will […]
I’ve read the comments in Coloradopols about the article in the Durango paper. http://durangoherald…. As far as I’m concerned, when you read between the lines, what you really see is that Schaffer has written in crayons that he’s NOT running for U.S. Senate, at least not in 2008. So Rayburn should be pulling the trigger […]
Everybody may love Dick Wadhams, but the new speakerbox of the Republican Party in Colorado still needs to figure out a way to make some of the other GOP members, um, stop talking. Like Republican Sen. Scott Renfroe, for example. As 9news reports: To Colorado State Senator Scott Renfroe, one of the main sponsors of […]
O.J. Simpson won his case. And Doug Lamborn won his race. Yet how much has each fallen from grace? It appears increasingly moreso every day that Doug Lamborn is in dire trouble in El Paso County Republican politics based on recent elections for El Paso County Republican officers and bonus members, and, like O.J. Simpson, […]
One major talking point out of the Bush White House early on in the war in Iraq was that George Bush was not going to be another Neville Chamberlain. “We would take out Iraq before it started a much larger war.” To a large degree Hitler, and Chamberlain’s appeasement of him was the fundamental argument […]
Well, this was certainly a surprise. Click below for the full letter sent by Gov. Bill Ritter to the legislature explaining his veto of HB-1072… Ladies and Gentlemen, I am returning to the House of Representatives House Bill 07-1072, “Concerning the Elimination of the Requirements for a Vote Ratifying an All-Union Agreement.” I vetoed this […]
As the Denver Post reports: House Speaker Andrew Romanoff said Sunday he will ask the legislature to seek Colorado Supreme Court guidance on a bill being drafted to ensure Amendment 41 doesn’t ban things such as scholarships for government workers’ children. It’s a somewhat unusual move, Romanoff said, but one that would make it easier […]
Republicans staged an impressive showing of togetherness yesterday by attempting to filibuster HB-1072 (the Labor Peace Act) in the state Senate. As the Rocky Mountain News reports: Democrats steamrolled a controversial pro-union bill through the Senate on Friday, but Republicans made them work overtime for it. For eight hours Republicans staged a filibuster, denouncing the […]
It’s getting worse for CD-2 hopeful Jared Polis every day as the sob stories about kids who can’t accept their scholarships accumulate. Amendment 41, which he originally intended to use as a resume-builder for his congressional race, may well become an unsalvageable debacle for him now. In the Denver Post today, Sen. Peter Groff reiterated […]
Eminent South Florida humorist Dave Barry decided that the best way to handle Rep. Tom Tancredo is to have some fun with him. Reprinted in today’s Denver Post: Welcome to Miami, Super Bowl visitors! You’re going to have a wonderful time, from the moment you arrive in our magical city, until the moment you discover […]
President Bush will deliver his State of the Union speech tonight, which got us thinking: What is the best State of the Union speech that you remember?
Ladies and gentlemen, please hold your breath while all the air is sucked out of the room. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton formally began her widely anticipated campaign for the White House, a former first lady intent on becoming the United States’ first female president. Clinton, D-N.Y., posted the decision Saturday morning on her official website: […]
In the days leading up to the election now Governor Ritter and other Democrats running for office assured the business community and many of us voters that they had nothing to fear or be concerned about if all of the houses went Dem. Less than two weeks into the session we have now seen a […]
Democratic Rep. Mark Udall released a statement yesterday in regards to his plans for 2008: Congressman Mark Udall (D-Eldorado Springs), released the following statement regarding his plans for 2008: “Senator Allard’s announcement yesterday renewed a lot of interest in my plans for 2008. It’s no secret that I would like to represent the people of […]
I said it months ago and repeat it now. Rayburn is the man to watch and the man the other Republicans should take most seriously–as wells as all Democrats. What he did in the 5th Congressional CD Republican primary with so very little time after his decommissioning from the Air Force and moving to Colorado […]
With Sen. Wayne Allard on his way back to the veterinarian’s office, who is the best Republican candidate for Senate? And we’re not going to include radio host Dan Caplis on the list, despite his attempts to be listed as a candidate as a PR stunt.
Rep. Tom Tancredo is expected to announce his candidacy for President any day now, and Colorado Republicans are preparing as though Tancredo won’t be back. Several Republicans are already preparing campaigns for congress in CD-6 under the assumption that Tancredo will make a full-fledged run at the Presidency and not double back to run for […]
The Rocky Mountain News reported on Thursday about two conflicting efforts emerging to “fix” the perceived problems with Amendment 41, the “ethics in government” initiative approved by Colorado voters last November — now known by its new name, Article XXIX of the Colorado Constitution. The “clarifying” bill from supporters of 41, drafted by attorney Mark […]
In an interview with The Denver Post, former Republican gubernatorial candidate Bob Beauprez compared himself to former Denver Broncos starting quarterback Jake Plummer: “I heard one of the Denver sportscasters say the best reason you can come up with for going with Jay Cutler is that he hasn’t had an opportunity to offend anybody yet,” […]
The Rocky Mountain News has a good Q&A with Governor Bill Owens today, which focuses more on politics than on policy stuff. Click below for some of the highlights: In your first two years as governor, you cut taxes, improved roads, reformed schools. Then you lost Referendum A, the legislature went Democrat and your own […]
Nobody can read Tancredo’s mind, not even him, it seems. But chances are he won’t run for the senate because the corrupt big contributors who profit from enslaving illegal immigrants and don’t care about the country’s future won’t fund his campaign. And you can’t run for the senate without the big bucks provided by 527s […]
