How are people are still making this amateur mistake? Buzzfeed: Last year BuzzFeed reported on how congressional staffers had been editing members’ Wikipedia pages. House offices all share the same IP address. This makes it quite easy to find when people who work in Congress airbrush Wikipedia pages. BuzzFeed found 13 new examples since the […]
(New Coffman® strikes again – promoted by Colorado Pols) From a post of mine on rhrealitycheck.org yesterday: Rep. Mike Coffman is on record opposing embryonic stem-cell research, but that didn’t stop the Colorado Republican from touring a stem-cell laboratory at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and tweeting, “Happy to get the chance to […]
A press release from health care advocacy group Protect Your Care Colorado that you'll find curious to say the least: Even as ads and right-wing OpEds are running praising Representative Mike Coffman for opposing Obamacare, and as Congressman Cory Gardner rails against it on television, their offices are helpfully referring constituents to Colorado’s marketplace, connectforhealthco.com, […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Over the weekend, The Denver Post's Allison Sherry reported Rep. Mike Coffman's position, as Coffman has said before, that undocumented adults should be given the opportunity to apply for U.S. citizenship, but only when the U.S. has an “independently verified secure border.” It’s fair enough to report that Coffman claims to […]
In case this star-studded event was left off your social calendar last weekend, Denver's Brown Palace Hotel hosted its annual champagne cascade. By all accounts a spectacle, with a swordsman hacking off the tops of champagne bottles and pouring the contents into a two-story "pyramid" of some 6,000 glasses. Present was none other than electorally embattled […]
Analysis from U.S. News and World Report's Lauren Fox: The showdown between Rep. Mike Coffman, R-Colo., and former speaker of the Colorado House of Representatives Andrew Romanoff is expected to play out in a demographically evolving district that once leaned Republican when Coffman was first elected in 2008, but because of a new wave […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) I try not to miss any of the fact-checks of political ads on local TV. But somehow 9News' Aug. 21 "Truth Test" of an ad attacking Rep. Mike Coffman got by me. It was the ad showing photos of ostriches and claiming that Coffman has his head in the sand about global warming. 9News' […]
Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank began yesterday's column on "the Cruzification of the GOP" thusly: When a poll came out this week showing that the government shutdown was putting Republican Mike Coffman in danger of losing his Colorado congressional seat, the lawmaker responded with the serenity of martyrs through the ages. “Whatever the consequences […]
UPDATE: So, um, yes folks, we are talking about the same Denver Post that published this editorial today: It's not easy in this era of hyperpartisanship in Washington, D.C., for federal lawmakers to reverse course on divisive issues. But Rep. Mike Coffman, R-Aurora, did just that when he said Tuesday he supports a "clean" spending […]
UPDATE: FOX 31's Eli Stokols: Rep. Mike Coffman, R-Aurora, reversed course Tuesday and vowed to support a clean continuing resolution to fund the government, breaking ranks with an obstinate House GOP bloc that has insisted on changes to Obamacare in exchange for passing a CR to end the ongoing shutdown… Last week, Coffman told FOX31 […]
(This is my first diary–and probably my last, if I mess it up!) PPP has a new poll out showing Mike Coffman with a 47% disapproval to 31% approval to 21% who-is-Mike-Coffman again, anyways? rating. I'll say it for the N3B–those Communist pinko lefties over at PPP did the polling. You know, those guys (and […]
The Hill's Alexandra Jaffe reports on a hard-hitting new shutdown-themed ad campaign from the Democratic aligned House Majority PAC. The goal of this campaign is straightforward: attach embattled Colorado GOP incumbent Rep. Mike Coffman's face and name indelibly to the enormously unpopular shutdown of the federal government presently dominating the headlines. House Majority PAC, the super-PAC […]
In the Craig Daily Press, a statement from GOP Rep. Scott Tipton on how he really tried, tried mind you, along with his fellow House Republicans, to avoid shutting down the government Tuesday: As I’ve said throughout this process, my constituents have sent a strong message that they do not want Obamacare because it’s raising health […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Last month, Rep. Mike Coffman told long-time KOA talk show host Mike Rosen that a lot of scientists can't get climate-change research grants unless they "submit" to the "orthodoxy of climate change by the radical environmentalists." Some media outlets quoted Coffman's radio comments, but not a single journalist has reported asking […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) How fun it would be to sit on a newspaper's editorial board and interview all the candidates who traipse by the office begging for an endorsement. Over the years, The Denver Post has dabbled with putting those interviews online, where they'd be a valuable public resource, but this isn't done in […]
Politico's Reid Epstein reports today that GOP Speaker of the House John Boehner has signed on to the President's request for congressional authority to attack Syria after that nation's alleged use of chemical weapons: Boehner announced his position after a Tuesday morning meeting with congressional leadership in the Cabinet Room. In a 90-second statement to […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Responding for the first time to a League of Conservation Voters' ad portraying him as an "Ostrich," with his head in the sand, for denying that humans are contributing to global warming, Rep. Mike Coffman told Denver radio-host Mike Rosen Wed. that "a lot" of the research grants on global warming […]
Here's Denver Post editorial page editor Vince Carroll in today's (7-31-2013) Denver Post: "The administration of Gov. Bill Owens, in a major blunder, lobbied for the (Colorado PERA) fire sale as a shortsighted way to encourage early retirement . . ." This action by Governor Owens (and the failure of the Colorado Legislature to pay […]
The Denver Post's Ryan Parker reports from Rep. Mike Coffman's packed event yesterday: Speaking in Spanish, Coffman said he had been reaching out to the Hispanic community to "better understand your challenges." "A comprehensive immigration reform proposal must include three essential elements; it must secure our borders and provide for effective enforcement of our immigration laws, […]
MONDAY UPDATE: NARAL Pro-Choice Colorado weighs in: Karen Middleton, executive director of NARAL Pro-Choice Colorado today questioned whether Colorado Attorney General candidate Cynthia Coffman could fairly represent the state’s voters and women after a video surfaced showing Coffman boasting that she helped deny funding for women’s health care. A video of Cynthia Coffman, an announced […]
Back during the 2010 GOP U.S. Senate primary, candidate Jane Norton faced an uphill (and ultimately unsuccessful) battle for the right wing of the party against Weld County DA Ken Buck. Buck appealed to social conservatives early in this race with his strident rhetoric against abortion–even volunteering unbidden that he opposes abortion even in cases of […]
Politico's James Arkin supplies the answer: Voters in seven GOP-held congressional districts would be less likely to vote for their current representative if he doesn’t support immigration reform, according to the poll from Public Policy Polling. The number of voters who would be less likely to support their current congressman ranged from 40 to 47 […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Does Rep. Mike Coffman see hypocrisy in drawing an annual $55,547 pension from the state of Colorado after suggesting in the past that Colorado should consider suspending pensions for people (editor's note: like him) who start a new job [in Congress making $174,000] after retiring from state employment? In her article […]
Take note of this brief report from Politico: Rep. Paul Ryan has committed to dramatically ramping up his fundraising appearances to help fellow House Republicans, a move that will help boost his political muscle among GOP lawmakers and bring piles of cash to the party’s election arm. Ryan, the former GOP vice presidential candidate […]
We've written before about how the various versions of CD-6 Republican Rep. Mike Coffman continue to battle each other for Coffman supremacy. Last week New Coffman® was a featured player in a story from the National Journal about members of Congress who are double-dipping (and we aren't talking about potato chips): To solve the debt […]
