Miklosi Will Challenge Coffman in CD-6

From the Associated Press: DENVER-Democrat Joe Miklosi of Denver says he’s made up his mind and will challenge Republican U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman in the Denver suburbs next year. Miklosi has filed paperwork to run against the two-term incumbent. Miklosi currently lives in southeast Denver, not the 6th Congressional District. Miklosi, who has been mulling […]

Miklosi to Take On Coffman?

That’s the word today from Lynn Bartels at the Denver newspaper’s blog, confirming a not-very-well-kept secret that Democratic state Rep. Joe Miklosi is weighing a challenge for Mike Coffman’s CD-6 seat. Rep. Miklosi is not yet term limited in his state house seat, so this isn’t a must-make decision for him at this point in […]

Licking the “Third Rail” With Gardner, Tipton, Coffman and Lamborn

UPDATE: In case you weren’t completely sure about the extent to which Colorado’s freshman Rep. Cory Gardner had committed himself in support of the Paul Ryan 2012 budget plan, here’s his floor speech–with Gardner’s introduction from Rep. Ryan himself: No denying it now, is there? —– As the Washington Post reports: Anxiety is rising among […]

On radio, Brophy first said Coffman would lose under Dem map then said Coffman probably could win

On Sunday, State Sen. Greg Brophy said the darndest things about congressional redistricting on Ross Kaminsky’s Backbone Radio, and Kaminsky, who will challenge his conservative guests sometimes, said not a word. So I emailed this note to Kaminsky: Hi Ross – I’m considering a blog post on Brophy’s appearance on your show, where he made […]

Mike Coffman Responds To Bipartisan Screwing…Badly

There’s a lot of misinformation today about the status of Rep. Mike Coffman’s residence, and how his district may be affected by redistricting maps from both parties that were made public for the first time yesterday. AP misreported, just as one example: U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman said Friday he was upset after Democrats drew up […]

Bipartisan Support for Screwing Mike Coffman

TUESDAY UPDATE: Lynn Bartels of the Denver paper has a useful update on proposed changes to Mike Coffman’s district. As we noted above, none of the Democratic maps move Coffman’s registered Aurora home out of CD-6; both of Republican Dave Balmer’s would do this. On the matter of voter registration, the Democratic map proposals create […]

Coffman: End the Draft, Cut Defense Budget

We’ve always believed in giving credit where credit is due, and we think there will be bipartisan praise for this budget amendment from GOP Rep. Mike Coffman—Air Force Times reports: After 31 years of symbolism, the time has come to end draft registration in the U.S., says Rep. Mike Coffman, R-Colo., a retired Marine Corps […]

Coffman – Make Government Workers Broke

It does not look like Rep. M. Coffman’s version of attack government workers has made the big time in Denver yet.  His great idea to reduce the federal pay by a munificent $5.5B is to force every federal employee to take two weeks off each year without pay. Besides the inane idea, and it is […]

Coffman and Udall Butt Heads

denver and the west Udall to Congress: United we should sit for Obama’s speech By Allison Sherry The Denver Post WASHINGTON – Sen.

Mike Coffman, Westword’s “Schmuck of the Week”

Westword’s Jonathan Shikes reports: Colorado food banks have seen “a staggering increase in need,” the Denver Post reported this week, and 12.2 percent of households “were categorized as food insecure in 2009.” The answer, according to Republican U.S. Representative Mike Coffman: cut off food stamps. “The current food-stamp program is a contributor to childhood obesity, […]

Doug Lamborn: Charter Member (Coffman arrives in time for tea)

In yet another sign that the apocalypse may soon be upon us, the GOP leadership has formed and officially registered “The Tea Party Caucus.” http://i306.photobucket.com/al… The founder and chair?  Not a difficult guess — Congresswoman Michele Bachmann. http://www.tennessean.com/arti… and http://www.cleveland.com/natio… And, good news, as stated by Ms. Bachmann during yesterday’s press announcement — this will […]

Coffman Votes Yea, But Really Meant Nay?

I am so confused. On April 29, Congress voted on H.R. 2499: Puerto Rico Democracy Act of 2010. It’s to allow the people of Puerto Rico to make 2 votes. First they vote whether they like their current status with the U.S.A. Then, if the majority votes against their current status, they will vote whether […]

Mike Coffman admits Republican Party has not been fiscally responsible

(zOMG! – promoted by Colorado Pols) I attended a town hall meeting that Representative Mike Coffman held last Saturday in Evergreen. I was impressed with the fact that this Republican whom I voted for in the last election is finally out talking to his constituents. I was further impressed when Mike Coffman let the audience […]

Coffman does it again

Republican Congressman Mike Coffman has done it again. This time he is spreading lies about health care reform in the Denver Post. http://www.denverpost.com/head… Compare his arguments with facts: http://www.whitehouse.gov/issu… Mike Coffman has consistently shown that he has no concern for working people and their very real struggles to care for their families.  

Coffman Says Single-Payer Government Health Care “Works”

(“Super Robot GOP Talking Point” Mike Coffman may not understand what he just said. – promoted by Colorado Pols) There’s no other way to read this story from Politics Daily and the Denver Post than to read it as Colorado Republican Rep. Mike Coffman admitting that government-sponsored single-payer health care “works”: Coffman, a former Marine […]

Will Mike Coffman Apologize to Governor Bill Ritter for Questioning his Patriotism?

When Governor Bill Ritter signed a bipartisan bill last year to put the brakes on the Army’s use of eminent domain to steal ranch land from Coloradans and turn it into a mini-Afghanistan right in the middle of our square state, Mike Coffman fired off an official press release calling the governor a terrorist sympathizer. […]

Mike Coffman, Patriotism P.I.

For those of you out there who might consider calling yourselves patriotic, I have one question for you:  Have you ever served in the military?  If not, don’t even think of pretending like you give a shit about the U.S. of A.  At least, not in Congressman Mike Coffman’s book.   In his recent Phaseline-Written […]

Coffman argues against Penry’s stand…

There are a number of things wrong with Penry’s position on Pinyon Canyon and Coffman’s oped piece is one of them.  Penry, HB 1317 shortchange America’s troops | Colorado Statesman.  Has anyone at ColoradoPols actually read HB-1317?  It might be worth your time.  It doesn’t really say or do what Penry claims.

Coffman, Lamborn…Polis Join Together To Disparage Health Reform Bill

Last Thursday night, Colorado Reps. Mike Coffman and Doug Lamborn spent an hour on the floor of Congress logging their opposition to health reform legislation into the record.

Ritter Campaign Returns Coffman Fire Over “Terrorist Sympathizer” Dig

The reelection campaign for Governor Bill Ritter just sent a sharply-worded blast mail to supporters, asking them to contact Rep. Mike Coffman and tell him “to stop using taxpayer dollars to smear Governor Ritter.” We’re pretty sure this marks the first direct intervention by the Governor’s campaign so far, responding to Coffman’s remarks earlier this […]

Mr. Coffman’s Credibility

(Rep. Coffman, feel free to respond and we’ll promote – promoted by Colorado Pols) In my campaign to win the Congressional seat in Colorado’s 6th District, I make three pledges; to run a respectful campaign based on the issues, to support the President’s agenda and to provide leadership with clear priorities. My priorities are security […]

Coffman: Ritter Would Be “More Sympathetic” To “Terrorist” Army

Oh boy, as the Colorado Independent reports: U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman minced no words in a bizarre, Cheney-esque attack on Gov. Bill Ritter as a “terrorist sympathizer” for signing a new state law that stymies future expansion of the Army’s contentious Piñon Canyon training site proposal. The accusation of Ritter’s treason can be found in […]

BREAKING: Ethics Commission Clears Coffman

( – promoted by redstateblues) RSB UPDATE: Colorado Independent reports: Coffman’s attorney, Doug Friednash, said the complaint was part of a “scorched-earth public relations campaign” to harass the Aurora Republican, who stepped down as secretary of state after winning election to Congress last fall.
