( – promoted by Colorado Pols) If I were a conservative talk-radio host, I’d love it if my guest called Social Security a “Ponzi scheme.” The topic would keep your geriatric audience awake, plus it gives you a chance to say “Ponzi” a bunch of times. So why do talk-radio hosts love to sit there […]
As we get past the halfway point in the August congressional recess this election year, we’ve seen many members of the Colorado delegation holding town hall meetings. The availability of our members has varied, ranging from Rep. Jared Polis, who has held a truly commendable number of town halls this month, to Republican Cory Gardner’s […]
UPDATE: Just to clarify, as we didn’t see this in other reporting, today’s poll of CD-6 was paid for by Democracy for America, but conducted by Public Policy Polling. —– FOX 31’s Eli Stokols: Despite raising relatively little money, Democrat Joe Miklosi appears to be within striking distance of his well-funded GOP opponent, Congressman Mike […]
This is a pretty harsh indictment, folks. Rachel Maddow last night on the relationships between Colorado’s failed “Personhood” abortion ban initiatives and local politicians who supported them in the past such as Mike Coffman and Joe Coors, and implications for the avowedly pro-“personhood” Mitt Romney-Paul Ryan GOP ticket–both within and outside our swing state: Say […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Colorado has a lot of experience with politicians endorsing personhood, then trying to slide away from it when the eyes of everyday people turn toward them. It’s time for reporters to draw on this experience in questioning Rep. Paul Ryan, when the opportunity presents itself. Will Ryan, who supported […]
(Can’t hide it under a bush, oh no! – promoted by Colorado Pols) UPDATE: Coffman told The Denver Post late yesterday that, because he’s running for federal office, he would not endorse personhood or any state ballot measure this year. He also said he’s against all abortions, except when necessary to save the life of […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Obviously, the key news from today’s personhood press conference was that personhood supporters turned in 112,121 signatures to Colorado’s Secretary of State, hoping to get their measure on the November ballot. But the political ramifications of the personhood amendment should continue to be a key part of the coverage. […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) You may recall that Steve Kelley, host of KNUS radio’s morning drive-time show, got really pissed at Rep. Mike Coffman, after Coffman refused to appear on Kelley’s show and explain why, among other things, he felt the need to (sort of) apologize for saying Obama isn’t an American in […]
My husband received a flier in the mail yesterday from Congressman Mike Coffman. My husband is a died-in-the-wool Democrat and would sooner eat a box full of living ladybugs than vote for a Tea Party Congressman (and he’s a vegetarian!). Our home has four registered Dems — me, my husband, and our two college age […]
Rep. Mike Coffman (R-CO) ponders how to evade ProgressNow Colorado members outside a fundraiser in downtown Denver. ProgressNow Colorado, the state’s largest online progressive advocacy organization, and allies appeared yesterday outside a private fundraiser hosted for Republican Rep. Mike Coffman near Coors Field sponsored by the Western Energy Alliance and Newfield PACs–both funded by major […]
(No wonder he can’t find time to meet with the little people, he’s monitoring the tubz. – promoted by ClubTwitty) Congressman Mike Coffman just can’t catch a break. In his latest embarrassing moment, Coffman denies he and his staff had anything to do with the scrubbing of his Wikipedia page to remove his recent […]
Rep. Mike Coffman is still mostly avoiding reporters, after he went into hiding following his comment at a fundraiser that 1) he’s not sure Obama was born in the U.S. but 2) he does believe Obama is not an American “in his heart.” But Coffman is creeping into medialand ever so gently, with appearances on […]
( – promoted by ClubTwitty) For more than six weeks, since May 21, Rep. Mike Coffman’s constituents have been asking him for a Town Hall in Aurora so they can talk to him about the issues that matter to them. There are now more than 500 signatures on a petition that states, “We have been […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Mike Coffman’s been dodging reporters since his birther moment last month, when he said he didn’t know if Obama “was born in the United States of America,” but he did know that “in his heart, he’s not an American.” Coffman’s media avoidance tactics have turned his apology into a […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Last month, after Rep. Mike Coffman said he didn’t know whether President Obama was an American “in his heart,” KNUS morning show host Steve Kelley wanted to talk to Coffman. He told his listeners May 25 that, maybe, Coffman’s comments weren’t “worthy of a major apology,” and he wanted […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Thursday, a group of constituents presented Rep. Mike Coffman with a petition asking for a June town hall in Aurora. The petition has more than 500 signatures and comments requesting the Congressman meet with citizens and answer their questions. Rep, Coffman has yet to hold a public forum in […]
The story continues about Rep. Mike Coffman’s apology for saying Obama isn’t an American “in his heart.” And when an apology drags on, questions rise up, like did he really want to apologize? Did he mean it? Who’s pressuring him? What’s wrong with him? Etc. You recall that after 9News aired “Coffman’s Birther Moment,” Coffman […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) After Rep. Mike Coffman told supporters that “in his heart,” Obama is “just not an American,” some in the media debated whether Coffman’s statement, which he apologized for, was 1) a departure from Coffman’s image as a moderate or 2) a continuation of his alignment with extremists and fringe […]
FOX 31’s Eli Stokols, reporting on a story you saw here first: A few weeks after a video surfaced of Congressman Mike Coffman questioning President Barack Obama’s “American-ness”, his Democratic opponent is pushing another video of Coffman that was posted by the same person as the first. The new video shows Coffman speaking at the […]
(Mike Rosen: from respected pundit to cheap carnival barker – promoted by Colorado Pols) Just when you thought birthers were running away from their inner birtherness, a new birther jumps out of the closet on the op-ed pages of The Denver Post today. That would be the ever-rational Mike Rosen, of the Mike Rosen Show […]
(“…focusing on the birther question. God bless people that do that. I understand their passion.” Way to walk it back, Mike. – promoted by Middle of the Road) POLS UPDATE: Another clip from yesterday’s interview of Mike Coffman on the Caplis and Silverman Show–another wide-open shot to denounce “birthers” that Coffman doesn’t take. Can’t see […]
In the aftermath of Rep. Mike Coffman’s revised and significantly more contrite apology yesterday for his remarks asserting that President Barack Obama “is not an American,” we thought we would run back through our archives for anything else Coffman may have said at other points in his career that could be considered similarly disparaging–especially questioning […]
As a Republican, I have voted for you before, thinking I was preserving fiscal conservatism. But I never will again. There were many reasons to dislike you before, such as your voter purges, anti-women and anti-gay voting record, and smarmy personality. But your behavior in Elbert County and since then surpasses all of them. We […]
It seems that Mike Coffman of Colorado is doing his best to hand his congressional seat over to the Blue column, but for those not familiar with Mr Coffman, he is not just a dumb birther caught with a live microphone. Mike Coffman was Colorado’s former Secretary of State before running for Congress. And in […]
THURSDAY UPDATE: 9NEWS’ Kyle Clark and state Rep. Joe Miklosi on MSNBC last night: In a guest column published in the Denver paper’s opinion section earlier this evening, Rep. Mike Coffman revises his prior statements and abjectly apologizes for his “inappropriate and boneheaded comment” speaking before the Elbert County Republicans earlier this month–where he asserted […]
