(Promoted by Colorado Pols) For an RH Reality Check post today, I collected the responses of pro-choice activists to last week’s court appearance by the accused Planned Parenthood domestic terrorist, during which he shouted, “I’m a warrior for the babies.” Were his outbursts further proof that extreme anti-choice rhetoric contributed to the November 27 murders in Colorado Springs? “I […]
The Washington Post’s Mary Jordan reports today on the liberal pushback underway against Republican “Latino outreach” efforts ahead of the 2016 elections. As the GOP and allied major funders like the Koch brothers pour millions of dollars into bettering their performance among America’s fastest-growing demographic bloc of voters, the Latino activists the community has grown […]
December has not been a very good month for Rep. Mike Coffman (R-Aurora). Coffman has been taking a lot of heat for repeatedly refusing to speak out against anti-Muslim comments made by Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump, and he’s now facing increased scrutiny for missing a vote on restricting gun sales for people who are on the “no-fly list.” […]

If there was ever a time in which the sudden push for a “fix” for Colorado’s arguably unbroken system of redrawing congressional districts we’ve seen in recent weeks made sense, that time is rapidly passing as questions about the timing and true purpose of a “bipartisan” ballot initiative grow. As the Colorado Independent’s Marianne Goodland […]
UPDATE: Er, maybe not? As Mark Matthews reports for the Denver Post: But in a follow-up email to Tipton’s office on Monday, spokesman Josh Green said the official word was a definite maybe.

Reviewing recent traffic in the realm of conservative social media, sometimes affectionately known as the “fever swamp” by those tasked with monitoring them, we took note of this Facebook post by former Republican Colorado Rep. Robert Ramirez of Westminster: Well, folks? “Are we foolish to believe” that President Barack Obama has a plan to become […]
A few weeks ago we discussed a new redistricting/reapportionment proposal that was making its way toward the 2016 ballot. The so-called “Initiative 55” redistricting proposal popped up almost out of nowhere in late November, and language for a new constitutional amendment was rushed out for review. It was clear from the jump that there were severe problems with […]
Roll Call reports today–you think Democrats are being unfair to Rep. Mike Coffman by linking his past words and votes to controversial Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump, do you? Well folks, Coffman’s doing his best to make it stick like glue: In Colorado’s 6th District, where Rep. Mike Coffman is facing a competitive re-election, his likely […]
(Let the infighting begin – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Rep. Jon Keyser, the latest Republican considering a run for U.S. Senate, is drawing fire from fellow Republicans, as they wrestle to replace top GOP candidates who’ve dropped out of consideration for the Senate race. In a Facebook post yesterday, Rep. Justin Everett wrote that Keyser is backed […]
UPDATE #2: 9NEWS just posted a fascinating original email exchange from last summer between a number of Eastern Plains county clerks, most of them very upset at the prospect of having to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples–including the email from Elbert County Clerk Dallas Schroeder where he explains his reasons for posting his discriminatory poster.

Elena Schneider of Politico has a new story up this afternoon about the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) turning its short attention span to 34-year-old freshman State Rep. Jon Keyser as the newest bright shiny object in a quest to defeat incumbent Democratic Sen.

Politico’s Darren Goode reports on a splashy hearing this week chaired by Texas Senator and GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz, taking shots at climate science that Republican primary voters (and energy lobbyists) love even as smart Republicans cringe: Ted Cruz took a break from the campaign trail on Tuesday to dive headlong into an aggressive […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) UPDATE: In response to my question of whether he thinks there’s any difference between the Planned Parenthood domestic terrorist and Planned Parenthood executives, Klingenschmitt said via email, “I’ve been consistent in my statements calling for an end to ALL of the violence, not just half of the violence as the pro-abortionists […]
Here’s a fun sentence that actually appeared in The Hill this morning: On Wednesday, Democrats on the House Select Committee on Benghazi released an unredacted email showing that the Defense Department had identified military forces to send to Benghazi to assist American officials under attack. Republicans quickly fired back, however, accusing the minority party of trying to undermine their investigation […]

As the Durango Herald’s Peter Marcus reports, Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado is very, very upset with President Barack Obama’s handling of the campaign against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), especially after last week’s apparent terror attack in San Bernardino carried out by persons at least passively radicalized by ISIS propaganda.

The political world this week is still rotating around Donald Trump’s statements on Monday that the United States should temporarily bar all Muslims from entering the country — even if they are American citizens (though Trump later clarified this part).
