(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Rep. Mike Coffman voted again Wednesday to defund Planned Parenthood, making it seven times that he’s voted to strip funding from the women’s health organization. So you wonder, what does Coffman have to say to the 2,200 women who would no longer be able to go to the Aurora Planned Parenthood […]
Last night, President Barack Obama held a televised town hall meeting at Virginia’s George Mason University to discuss his recent action to tighten up background checks on gun sales and better track disqualifying mental illness among prospective gun buyers. In the audience at yesterday’s town hall was a Colorado woman who was sexually assaulted at […]
FRIDAY UPDATE #2: Liberal group ProgressNow Colorado slams Sonnenberg in a statement: “The right wing’s all-consuming hatred for President Obama is well known, but Sen. Jerry Sonnenberg has taken disrespect for the President too far this time,” said ProgressNow Colorado executive director Amy Runyon-Harms. “During President Obama’s term in office, our nation has been rocked […]

That’s 20 names, just off the top of our head, of Republicans who made some […]
It sucks to be a meteorologist these days. Weather forecasters in Colorado are petrified to make specific predictions on snow accumulation — probably because it’s becoming damn near impossible to guess correctly with Climate Change. It’s time to Get More Smarter with Colorado Pols. If you think we missed something important, please include the link in the comments […]
As the Denver Post’s John Frank reports–the hard-right faction in narrow control of the Colorado Senate, working closely with well-funded conservative action group Americans For Prosperity, are on the verge of scuttling a critical bipartisan agreement on a fiscal matter that’s been the subject of a year of negotiations: The political arm of the Koch brothers’ conservative […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) NARAL Pro-Choice Colorado issued a report yesterday exposing the legislative influence in Colorado of two national anti-choice organizations, Americans United for Life (AUL) and Alliance Defending Freedom(ADF), as well as the state-wide network of “crisis pregnancy centers.” During the last legislative session, five bills and one resolution were modeled on AUL […]
It’s difficult to remember everyone who sought the Republican nomination for President in 2015, but just for fun, let’s see how you fare before you read any further; can you name the 17 (seventeen!) GOP Presidential candidates who participated in the first big debate in early August? We’ll give you a hint: There was something […]
As the Denver Post’s John Frank reports, conservative Republican U.S. Senate candidate Tim Neville officially kicked off his run yesterday, charging ahead while other prospective candidates are still piecing their campaigns together: “We all know we have a lot of problems in Washington. When an organization like Planned Parenthood ignores the law, kills the unborn, […]
We’re one week out from the opening day of the Colorado legislature. We’re downright giddy with anticipation. That’s right, giddy. It’s time to Get More Smarter with Colorado Pols. If you think we missed something important, please include the link in the comments below (here’s a good example). TOP OF MIND TODAY… ► State Sen. Morgan Carroll (D-Aurora) is bringing […]
We don’t post all of the blast emails we get from political candidates, but we wanted to take a moment to highlight a very smart action alert sent out yesterday by Democratic CD-6 candidate Morgan Carroll, in response to President Barack Obama’s executive actions to tighten background checks for gun sales: I remember the horrific day […]
Right Wing Watch, we’ll admit that even we were a little surprised by this one: It seems that at least one more GOP lawmaker has come out in favor of the seizure of a federal building by Ammon Bundy’s makeshift militia in protest of the resentencing of Steven and Dwight Hammond for arson on federal […]
UPDATE: Raw Story reporting, Cory Gardner isn’t the only Colorado Republican catching hell for his knee-jerk response to President Barack Obama’s action on guns today: Rep. Mike Coffman (R-CO) wrote, “.@POTUS just showed w/ #guncontrol that he has no respect for rep. government nor the limitations that Constitution places on his powers.” The congressman represents […]

(Probably don’t want this guy on the “team” – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Nate Marshall, a former Republican state house candidate who was found to have ties to white-supremacy groups, has acccepted an offer from Colorado Springs County Commissioner Peggy Littleton to back her possible U.S. Senate run against Democrat Michael Bennet. In response to Littleton’s […]
CNN reports from the White House today: President Barack Obama grew emotional Tuesday as he made a passionate call for a national “sense of urgency” to limit gun violence. He was introduced by Mark Barden, whose son Daniel was killed in the 2012 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut. Obama circled back to […]
By far the biggest defeat suffered by Colorado Democrats in 2014–and arguably the biggest loss for Democrats in this state since retaking control of the state legislature in 2004 and starting their roll toward political dominance here–was the narrow election of Cory Gardner to the U.S. Senate. Gardner’s defeat of Democratic incumbent Sen. Mark Udall was […]
Republican Presidential frontrunner Donald Trump released his first campaign advertisement today. Think about that for a moment: The man who has consistently polled at the top of the Republican field of Presidential candidates hasn’t produced a single TV advertisement until now. Trump earns so much free media coverage that he hasn’t really needed to go up with his […]
One of the principal arguments made by opponents of gun safety legislation like the universal background checks law passed by the Democratic-controlled Colorado General Assembly in 2013 is that additional laws to regulate access to guns are unnecessary–and that if the government would simply focus on the enforcement of “existing laws,” we could reduce gun […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Some Colorado Republicans aren’t happy about the state vice chair’s request that fellow Republicans stop publicly dissecting the work of State Chair Steve House “word-by-word, line-by-line in an effort to demonstrate his incompetence (at best) or corruptness (at worst).” In a sharp response to GOP Vice Chair Derrick Wilburn’s Dec. 28 […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) On December 23, 2015, Cargill Meat Solutions Plant in Fort Morgan fired 150 mostly Somali Muslim employees after forbidding Islamic prayers at work, saying, “If you want to pray, go home”. The employees are not eligible to be rehired for six months. The meat processors, some of whom had worked at […]
(Bad advice. Don’t take it. – Promoted by Colorado Pols) After a surreal year of infighting, including a failed coup led by Cynthia Coffman, Tom Tancredo and others, the vice chair of the Colorado Republican Party is pleading with fellow Republicans to stop obsessing on state party leader Steve House–and to lay off attacking each […]
In 2015, Republicans retook control of the Colorado Senate for the first time since 2004. This impressive-sounding feat is tempered by the reality that their control of the chamber was won by a single seat, in a race decided by well under 1,000 votes. In 2010, the GOP wrested control of the Colorado House from […]
