UPDATE: But wait, there’s more! Because of course there’s more! Can’t make this up: Joe O’Dea’s defense of his voting for the 2020 ballot measure on abortion that did not have exceptions for rape or incest was that he didn’t write it, he just voted for it #cosen #copolitics pic.twitter.com/fTMC7aRal7 — danny (@dabbs346) September 9, […]
Republican State Sen. Dennis Hisey is all over the place…literally. And it looks like he may have broken the law as a result. As Marianne Goodland reports for the Colorado Springs Gazette, Hisey appears to have been playing musical residences in an effort to maintain his eligibility to remain a candidate for Senate District 11 […]
As NBC News’ Marc Caputo reports, embattled Florida Republican congressbroham Matt Gaetz, despite an ongoing federal investigation into alleged human trafficking and other assorted sex crimes, emerged victorious Tuesday night in his primary that featured heavy spending on lurid ads attacking Gaetz: Rep. Matt Gaetz defeated his Republican primary opponent Tuesday in one of Florida’s […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) During a wide-ranging interview with conservative pundit Jon Caldara, Colorado congressional candidate Barb Kirkmeyer said she’d reduce federal spending, in part, by transforming Medicaid into a block grant system, a move that could lead to cuts for low-income Coloradans who rely on the federal-state health care program, say experts. “I think […]
As the Pensacola, Florida News-Journal reports, embattled Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz, under investigation for child sex trafficking while fighting off a primary challenge in next Tuesday’s primary, barnstormed his northwest Florida district this week in the company of Colorado’s freshman GOP outrage manufacturer Rep. Lauren Boebert: Rep. Matt Gaetz finds himself playing defense in his […]
UPDATE: Joe O’Dea blames 9NEWS for the mistake of airing their now off-message pre-primary ad: Update: Campaign says TV station erred. “@9news made an innocent trafficking mistake. We love the ad and we know the station will make it right. No harm, no foul. Sorry Colorado’s small army of left wing Twitter trolls had to […]
If Colorado Republicans are to have any hope of winning a majority in the State Senate in November, they probably need to win State Senate District 3 in Pueblo. The Republican candidate in the race, Stephen Varela, is already going to be digging himself out of a hole after numerous media reports focused on calls […]
denverpost · Listen: Lauren Boebert’s neighbors’ 911 calls describe threats, husband running over mailbox [mantra-pullquote align=”right” textalign=”left” width=”50%”]“There’s about to be some s— going down here,” the second neighbor told dispatchers. “It’s Lauren Boebert’s jackass husband, Jayson Boebert.”[/mantra-pullquote] As the Denver Post’s Conrad Swanson reports–have you ever had the pleasure of neighbors on your block […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) by Logan M. Davis and Amber Carlson (This article was originally published in the Colorado Times Recorder) The top Republican in the Colorado House of Representatives worked to conceal his involvement with a political consulting firm from his colleagues in the legislature, according to hundreds of pages of never-before-published sworn testimony. The […]
As Colorado Newsline’s Sara Wilson reports, yesterday most of the upper slate of Colorado Republican candidates up for election this November came together for a rally to showcase their united front going into the 2022 midterm elections–a redux of the original much-maligned “Commitment to Colorado” rally one year ago organized by Colorado Republican Party chair […]
As readers know, the state has enjoyed a healthy temporary bounty of revenue over the last couple of years, and under the 1992 Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights, revenue arbitrarily determined by TABOR’s Byzantine formula to be “excess” must be refunded to taxpayers through a variety of prescribed means. This year, the Democratic majority in the […]
Republican Erik Aadland announced this week that his campaign for CO-07 has received the endorsement of former Congressman and Presidential candidate Tom Tancredo. This is not much of a surprise given that Tancredo endorsed Aadland for U.S. Senate back in September 2021 (Aadland dropped out of that race to run for CO-07 in December 2021). […]
FRIDAY UPDATE #2: Attorney General Phil Weiser calls for this video to be pulled down and for candidates on both sides to condemn its violent rhetoric: Political ads suggesting gun violence have no place in Colorado or our political discourse. This out-of-state dark money group should pull this ad down. I urge elected officials and […]
Several absurd recount requests filed by sore-loser Republicans are scheduled to be completed on Thursday. But many of these candidates, including former Secretary of State candidate Tina Peters, are now trying to stop the recounts that they have already paid for because they don’t like how the recounting is being recounted…or something. This is all […]
We posted yesterday about an interview this week of GOP freshman calamity on wheels Rep. Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert of Colorado by leading right-wing fringe mouthpiece Sebastian Gorka, in which Boebert asserted that a “disarmed populace” would lead to the eating of dogs. An explanation of the sequence of events between the disarming of the people […]
Marianne Goodland of the publication formerly known as the Colorado Statesman reports on a very weird fundraising story involving Mesa County Clerk and Recorder Tina Peters, who was soundly defeated on June 28th in her bid to be the Republican nominee for Secretary of State: Campaign finance reports show embattled Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters […]
We haven’t heard a lot about the race for State Treasurer in 2022, which is not all that unusual. For one thing, few Coloradans understand what the State Treasurer actually does – and that may include the Republican candidate seeking the office this fall. Incumbent Democrat Dave Young is running for re-election against Republican Lang Sias, […]
As readers know, we have adopted a policy of screening the daily firehose of foolery from freshman GOP outrage singularity Rep. Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert for only the most relevant or newsworthy items, lest we become a blog wholly dedicated to cataloguing the misdeeds of any one politician–which would certainly gratify Boebert’s ego, but quickly become […]
Republican gubernatorial candidate Hiedi Heidi Ganahl’s campaign was in trouble long before the debacle that consumed most of her July, when Ganahl’s first choice for lieutenant governor all too publicly rejected her, and then her second choice Danny Moore plunged the campaign into fresh crisis due to Moore’s well-known conspiracy theorizing about the results of […]
As Marianne Goodland reports for the publication formerly known as The Colorado Statesman: In a surprise move, state Rep. Edie Hooton announced on Saturday she would not seek reelection to the state House.

State Sen. Barbara Kirkmeyer, the Republican nominee in Colorado’s newest Congressional district (CO-08), used her social media accounts today to celebrate “Colorado Day,” the 146th anniversary of the founding of the 38th state. This would be a completely fine and non-controversial statement for virtually any other Colorado politician to make. The problem in this case is […]
If you are a regular listener of The Get More Smarter Podcast, you know that the show often includes a segment called, “What the Buck?” This is a feature about Republican Rep. Ken Buck (R-Greeley-ish), who has gotten inexorably weirder the longer he has been in Congress. Buck was never what you would call a […]
The Hill reports on legislation reauthorizing federal enforcement efforts against human trafficking that passed the U.S. House yesterday by a lopsided 401-20 vote, with the teensy minority against nonetheless including two Republican members from Colorado: The legislation, titled the Frederick Douglass Trafficking Victims Prevention and Protection Reauthorization Act, passed in a 401-20 vote, with all […]
The election denialism trend that was sparked by former President Donald Trump doesn’t appear to be going away entirely, but at least we might have reached a stage where the election truthers aren’t trying that hard to explain their cockamamie theories. For example, we ran across this story from the right-wing “Gateway Pundit” about alleged […]
