(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Pueblo County's Republican Chair, Becky Mizel, isn't known for pulling her punches, but she hit particularly hard at her fellow Republicans in a recent interview on KNUS' Peter Boyles Show. The fight roiling the state GOP is reaching a frenzy leading up to the March 14 vote on whether to retain Republican State […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) On KLZ 560-AM’s “Wake Up with Randy Corporon” Friday, former Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve House officially announced his bid to dislodge Ryan Call from his job as Chair of the Colorado Republican Party. “My phone rings all the way until 10 o’clock at night with people calling me the last three or four […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) During this year’s GOP primary, top Colorado Republicans, including Colorado GOP Chair Ryan Call and Attorney General John Suthers, claimed to have no knowledge of a GOP-funded campaign attacking Republican candidates Tom Tancredo. Matt Arnold, who runs Campaign Integrity Watchdog, has a hard time believing this, and he thinks two campaign-finance lawsuits he’s filed have a […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Last week I reported that Tea-Party radio hosts Ken Clark (KLZ 560-AM) and Peter Boyles (KNUS 710-AM), along with Colorado's GOP State Senate Caucus Chair Vicki Marble, believe undocumented immigrants, as Marble put it, "bring the diseases. They bring whatever from across the border — things we haven’t seen in decades and thought we eradicated. Our whole […]
(Your Senate majority leadership in action – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Warning: KLZ talk-radio host Ken Clark tells me the following blog post is a "hit piece consisting of lies and deceit in order to continue to manipulate the public and your readers at the expense of an elected official who is simply tying to protect […]
The Denver Post's John Aguilar reports: Republican officials conceded Friday morning that they won't be able to gain enough seats to take majority control of the Colorado House. They have scheduled elections to choose minority leadership positions at 1 p.m. Friday. House Minority Leader Brian DelGrosso, R-Loveland, said he was gratified the party picked up […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) In exit polling after the 2012 election, voters said they backed President Barack Obama over Mitt Romney because they thought Obama cared more about "people like me." Republicans in Colorado apparently didn't learn anything, because they've made the same mistake again this year, failing to show that they care for regular […]
(Babblin' Beauprez strikes again – Promoted by Colorado Pols) As reported by The Denver Post Wedneday, gubernatorial candidate Bob Beauprez told KNUS-radio yapper Peter Boyles that he would not allow young immigrants from poverty-stricken Central American countries to be housed anywhere in Colorado while they await deportation decisions. But Beauprez's explanation for his young-migrant ban, which […]
(Um, what? – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Remember this Denver Post headline, after the June 24 Republican primary: "In Bob Beauprez, Colorado GOP goes with mainstream contender." I rolled my eyes at the time because, I'd been following Beauprez for years and knew him to be far outside the mainstream, as seen in his support for replacing […]
Craig Silverman returned to Denver’s radio waves a couple weeks ago, as you may know if you saw my recent blog post criticizing him for failing to challenge senatorial candidate Cory Gardner’s assertion that Sen. Mark Udall is simply “trying to distract voters” by attacking Gardner for his extreme anti-choice record, which isn’t “top of […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Talk-radio hosts like to think of themselves as a voice of the people, because anyone can call in (and get slapped around, if you're on the wrong show). But there's some truth to the notion that talk radio can give average people a platform. So you hate to see a guy […]
A last-minute plea from Rocky Mountain Gun Owners executive director Dudley Brown today touts endorsements for Senate District 19 Republican Senate candidate Laura Woods, as the clock winds down to next Tuesday's GOP primary elections: For the past several weeks, you've received many e-mails from me urging you to vote for conservative Republican Laura Woods […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) I've been too busy listening to talk radio to notice news reports that talk radio anchored the defeat of GOP House Majority Leader Eric Cantor. Politico reported Wednesday: Brat’s surprise victory is a powerful reminder, as if any were needed, of the immense influence talk radio has over conservative politics — […]
FOX 31's Eli Stokols reports on the continuing reverberations from Tuesday's stunning ouster of U.S. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor by an underdog Tea Party-backed challenger: With precious days left to sway primary voters, three of the four Colorado Republicans seeking their party’s gubernatorial nomination are aligning themselves with the anti-establishment wave that just toppled the second […]
“We love this guy,” said KNUS radio host Peter Boyles, as he introduced gubernatorial candidate Tom Tancredo and asked him about the demise of House Majority Leader Eric Cantor. “If I were a drinking man, I’d have been drunk last night,” Tancredo told Boyles. “I’d have been celebrating like crazy. I still went to bed […]
Republican gubernatorial candidate Scott Gessler launched an ad yesterday attacking his rival Tom Tancredo as a loser because Tanc lost his 2010 campaign for governor. The conservative radio world isn't buying Gessler's attack. In a conversation with Tancredo a couple weeks ago, here's what KNUS' Dan Caplis had to say on the topic: CAPLIS: I like Scott, […]
As you have read here and elsewhere, a group of Republicans who really don't want to see Tom Tancredo as their Party's nominee for Governor are doing everything they can to try to convince him to exit the race. But the calls, warnings, and threats from Republicans aren't working on Tancredo, who has his own […]
CORRECTION: I missed a May 7 Denver Post article, by Lynn Bartels, reporting that Tancredo “has been told conservative outside groups will spend money to make sure he doesn’t win the primary for governor, rather than helping him afterward.” ———————— Reacting to Lynn Bartels’ Denver Post article today reporting that Republicans are trying to push […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) I was all set to write a blog post this morning about Scott Gessler saying on the radio that his Republican gubernatorial opponents are all losers, including Mike Kopp who, Gessler said, presided over the Republicans' disastrous legislative-election collapse in 2010. Gessler told KNUS talk-radio host Jimmy Sengenberger a couple weeks ago: […]
UPDATE #6: Los Angeles Times: The problem is the photograph was taken two days after the July 2012 mass shootings at an Aurora, Colo., movie theater, when Udall and Obama visited a hospital to console the injured and families of the victims. Gov. John Hickenlooper, who was also on the scene, was cropped out of […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) ColoradoPols has called on gubernatorial candidate Tom Tancredo to address rumors that "GOP power-brokers" are pushing for him to be Superintendent of Jefferson County Schools. Pols didn't get into whether Tancredo, who's currently leading the gubernatorial GOP primary field, would be a logical selection for the Tea-Party-controlled Jeffco School Board. No […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) If you really want to understand the dynamic playing out right now among conservative candidates battling each other to defeat their primary-election opponents, I might suggest you tune to conservative talk radio, even if it's only for the next couple of months while the primary process unfolds. You might ask, as […]
(How ingratiating – Promoted by Colorado Pols) I wrote a blog post a while back regurgitating rocker Ted Nugent's appearance on KNUS Peter Boyles' show, where Nugent said Colorado is the poster child of "moral dereliction" and the Republican Party has "no balls" because someone cut off "their scrotum with a rusty shiv.” Exciting stuff that […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Just after gubernatorial candidate Tom Tancredo departed from from KNUS' Peter Boyles show this morning, where Boyles told his listeners, "If there's a god, [Tancredo] becomes governor," Tancredo talked about immigration with Dan Caplis, whose KNUS radio show starts right after Boyles'. Caplis: If you had that power, right now, what […]
(Let's set reality aside for a moment – Promoted by Colorado Pols) POLS UPDATE: Apropos to the original post, here's a flyer circulating for a Laura Woods event hosted by Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, who seems to be throwing down hard in the SD-19 GOP primary against Lang Sias: Come for the meeting, stay for the […]
