Janak “Dr. Nick” […]

You can read the text of “Cory Gardner for […]
As the Glenwood Springs Post-Independent’s John Stroud reports, Republican commissioners in Garfield County are determined to be part of the not-really-existent Planned Parenthood “backlash” story, and don’t you dare tell them they can’t be: Citing what one Garfield County commissioner called “partisan emails” from political action groups advocating for Planned Parenthood, commissioners Monday eliminated 2016 grant […]

UPDATE: CNN’s Jeremy Diamond notes the irony as well: Gardner also deflected questions about Rubio’s poor voting attendance record, citing a “double standard” between Rubio and past presidential contenders running from the Senate. But Gardner took a very different stance toward voting absences last year in his election fight against Sen. Mark Udall, the Democrat […]
As the Colorado Springs Gazette’s Tom Roeder reports: The man who neighbors say shot three people in Colorado Springs on Saturday made a rambling post to a brand-new blog two days earlier that railed against his father, religion and government. Noah Harpham, whose blog begins with the address where Saturday’s shooting started, rages against a […]
As the Grand Junction Sentinel’s Charles Ashby reports: Planned Parenthood of Colorado told a group of conservative state legislators last week to take a hike over its planned hearing on fetal tissue trafficking.

GOP Rep. Kit Roupe of Colorado Springs doesn’t want you to forget that Daylight Savings Time ends at 2:00AM this coming Sunday: Hey, wait a minute! That’s Texas high school student Ahmed Mohamed, who built a clock for a high school science project that made national news after being not-really-but-sort-of mistaken by school officials for a […]
Colorado Pols first reported in August that former Aurora city council member Ryan Frazier was trying to generate support in Washington D.C. for a potential 2016 U.S. Senate campaign. We reported the Frazier rumor with tongue firmly planted in cheek, because Frazier has actually proven that he cannot run a competitive race for…well, anything. As we wrote […]

Famous rich person Donald Trump, the frontrunner in the Republican Presidential Primary, has accused opponents Jeb! Bush and Ben Carson of being “low energy” for slightly different reasons. Bush has appeared to be a “low energy” candidate in large part because it seems like he doesn’t even want to be running for President. Trump goes after […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Advancing Colorado’s Jonathan Lockwood has this to say to conservatives who trashed him anonymously in a Oct. 26 Colorado Indpendent article: “If you have something to say, just say it.” The Independent’s Kyle Harris reported that “few conservatives are willing to go on record about Lockwood — he’s either too powerful, or […]

The Boulder Daily Camera’s Charlie Brennan and Sarah Kuta recap the action outside yesterday’s Republican presidential debate at the University of Colorado at Boulder–in particular, one detail that didn’t come together quite the way the coverage leading up to yesterday’s events had us all expecting: Boulder played an improbable starring role at the center of the […]
As the Greeley Tribune reports, Colorado’s foremost right-wing ideologue in Congress, Rep. Ken Buck, is not happy about a long-term fiscal deal reached between congressional Republican leaders and the White House to put an end to the pitched battles over the federal budget that have caused major upheaval and uncertainty for several years. Buck’s statement is leading […]

(This could get juicy – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Prior to last night’s Republican debate, Politico reported that some of the candidates were less than thrilled with their “green-room” assignments. These are rooms where the presidential aspirants waited prior to and after their appearances on the debate stage in Boulder. New Jersey Govenor Chris Christie’s […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) On KNUS 710-AM’s Weekend Wakeup with Chuck Bonniwell and July Hayden Saturday, embattled Jeffco School Board Chair Ken Witt continued his attack on Jeffco teachers and students, saying that students are essentially pawns, “brought into this kind of thing” to advance the agenda of teachers and unions.
