(That’s pretty low–Mike “Glenn Beck” Coffman, anyone? – promoted by Colorado Pols) Yesterday I suggested in a blog post that reporters should look again at Rep. Mike Coffman’s reasons for opposing the repeal of the military’s Don’t-Ask-Don’t-Tell policy, in light of extreme statements Coffman made on the radio. On the same radio program, KHOW’s Caplis […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Now that Rep. Mike Coffman’s congressional district is widely regarded as more competitive, reporters should take another look at Coffman’s media appearances over the past years, and ask questions where none were asked before. Of course, the low-hanging fruit is on local talk radio, where questions about Coffman pile […]
Here’s a news release from earlier this month from the Department of Health and Human Services, announcing the scheduled implementation of an important provision of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (so much easier to just call it “Obamacare”): Today, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) issued a final regulation that will […]
(Yikes! Coffman still hasn’t gotten the message that he’s not in Tom Tancredo’s old district anymore, has he? – promoted by Colorado Pols) Talk-radio host Michael Brown, of Heck’ve-a-job Brownie fame, felt no need whatsoever to challenge Rep. Mike Coffman Tues. as Coffman explained to Brown that America should have an “active counter-intelligence effort, to make sure that […]
(Good stuff from the memory hole – promoted by Colorado Pols) In late September, on KNUS’ Kelley and Company, Rep. Mike Coffman said Social Security was “obviously” a ponzi scheme. Kelley let it fly by, but I thought this should have been picked up by journalists, since it came from Coffman, especially given that Rick […]
These are not the headlines one wants Beltway moneymen to be reading–New York Times: “[The Sixth District] goes from fairly safe Republican to probably competitive,” said Professor Ken Bickers, the chairman of the political science department at the University of Colorado at Boulder. The seat is held by Representative Mike Coffman, a Republican, who replaced […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) I like watching how Tea Party radio plays a role in the care and feeding of radical ideas. Here’s a small example. This summer, I had a good honest conversation with Ken Clark, co-host of Grassroots Radio Colorado (KLZ 560AM), about what would happen to kids if the state […]
DCCC “robocall” targeting Rep. Mike Coffman. From the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee’s release today: The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee today launched a new paid and grassroots “Drive for 25” campaign to hold 30 vulnerable Republicans accountable for forcing the Super Committee to fail by demanding more tax breaks for billionaires while insisting the Medicare guarantee […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) The Colorado Statesman went where no other media outlet dared go last week and asked Colorado’s congressional delegation whether they support the personhood initiative, born again last week at a Denver press conference. One could argue that the 2012 personhood initiative isn’t actually “born,” or alive in any way, […]
Top priority, says the American Independent’s Andy Birkey: Colorado Republican Reps. Doug Lamborn and Mike Coffman joined Rep. Michele Bachmann and 83 other members of the House as signers of a letter to the U.S. Senate urging that body to pass an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act that would prohibit gay members of […]
As noted in the Colorado Statesman late last week: Texas Gov. Rick Perry recently announced key members of his Colorado leadership team. U.S. Congressman Mike Coffman will serve as the state chair, with House Majority Leader Amy Stephens and state Rep. Larry Liston serving as state co-chairs. Liston will also serve as the Perry state […]
As Lynn Bartels reported in her blog at the Denver newspaper, Rep. Mike Coffman raised more than $800,000 for the NRCC thanks to a visit from House Speaker “Orange” John Boehner. Coffman’s fundraising could be a big problem for Democratic challenger Joe Miklosi, who scraped together just $130,000 in the third quarter reporting period. Miklosi […]
(As we discussed in February, once he gets through Doug Lamborn it’s a laudable proposal – promoted by Colorado Pols) I may disagree with Rep. Mike Coffman about some things, but he has a lot of guts to call for Pentagon cuts, like he’s been doing, especially since he represents a district near Colorado Springs. […]
( – promoted by ProgressiveCowgirl) With the partisan glow emanating ever more brightly from Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler, it’s worth taking a moment to think back on another SOS conflict-of-interest brouhaha that spilled out of the Secretary of State’s office in Colorado in recent years. The local media hasn’t done much of this, […]
(Doubling down on the crazy? – promoted by Colorado Pols) In a Post titled, “It’s Alive! Despite GOP Warnings, Ponzi Scheme Meme Is Alive and Well on Capitol Hill,” Talking Points Memo’s Evan McMorris-Santoro reports today that Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WIS) has joined Rep. Mike Coffman in saying, on the radio, that Social Security is […]
(Seriously — is Mike Coffman trying to lose his seat? Or is he just hoping to make sure he can never win a statewide race again? – promoted by Colorado Pols) Update: Politico’s David Catanese posts Coffman’s Ponzi-scheme comment and reports: Even as recent as today, Democrats are attempting to link GOP candidates to Perry’s […]
CD-6 Rep. Mike asshat Coffman comes home from China all fired up against US Peace Corps. ThinkProgress.org has the story at GOP Rep. Declares War On Peace Corps, Demands End To Program In China. The takeaway is that Rep. asshat Coffman is threatening an amendment to eliminate the Peace Corp Chinese placement (which costs […]
(Coffman is embracing his inner Tancredo – promoted by Colorado Pols) POLS UPDATE: Mother Jones picks up the story: [I]s there anything to it? Jason Salzman, a Colorado blogger, took Coffman’s suggestion and looked into it. The short answer is no. That’s the longer answer, too. As Salzman notes, undocumented immigrants can’t be moved through […]
Most of you probably don’t remember deep gouges in vinyl musical records. The scratch would cause an infinite and irritating repetition. With the exception of rattling sabers towards the Chinese regarding rare earth, he rarely misses an opportunity to remind us of his Olympian heroism in a month long ground war. That he came away […]
UPDATE #2: By request, close-up of Larimer County after the jump below the metro Denver detail. TUESDAY UPDATE: Bigger Democratic maps–click them to see high-resolution versions for statewide (below), and Denver metro-area detail after the jump. —– Click to view higher resolution That’s the word today as Democrats have filed their proposed congressional redistricting map […]
A press release from the Colorado Democratic Party hammers Rep. Mike Coffman’s proposal this week to eliminate a section of the 1973 Voting Rights Act providing for ballots in languages other than English–with the whole Democratic delegation and state party chairman Rick Palacio taking a swing. Remember when we called this a horrifyingly bad idea […]
Republican Rep. Mike Coffman is putting forth legislation to repeal a section of the 1973 Voting Rights Act that allows districts with high percentages of non-English speakers to print ballots in different languages. From Talking Points Memo: Coffman said Wednesday that his legislation would repeal Section 203 of the Voting Rights Act, which requires states […]
GOP Rep. Mike Coffman: All Ballots Should Be In English Only per TPM. Coffman said Wednesday that his legislation would repeal Section 203 of the Voting Rights Act, which requires states or districts to provide bilingual voting materials if more than 10,000 or more than 5% of voters “are members of a single language minority […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) If you follow my blog, you know I’m often critical of talk-show hosts who fail to ask obvious follow-up questions. In their defense, it’s easy for me to listen to a recording of an interview, ponder it, do research, and then say how stupid they were for not thinking […]
A fascinating guest opinion piece from GOP Rep. Mike Coffman in stout defense of the 2012 GOP budget proposal authored by Budget Committee chairman Paul Ryan–as published in the Lone Tree Voice this weekend, excerpts presented without additional comment. Thoughts? The Medicare Board of Trustees conservatively places 2024 as the date when the Medicare trust […]
