The Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog reports on a mailing list-building gimmick from the nationwide conservative advocacy group Americans For Prosperity’s Colorado chapter, who is apparently giving away five (count ’em) $200 prepaid gas cards to five lucky winners who provide the group with their contact information: Jesse Mallory, the conservative organization’s state director and […]

Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert, the Republican candidate for Congress in CO-3, is very comfortable in the role of right-wing provocateur. Boebert has the Fox News shtick figured out, and she knows her talking points…but she doesn’t quite seem to understand how those talking points are supposed to fit together. Boebert was a guest on Fox Business […]

Gardner’s […]
