Happy to relay a public service announcement from U.S. Army Gen. Ray Odierno to all the “good citizens” brandishing firearms outside local military recruiting centers in the wake of the Chattanooga shootings–as the Colorado Springs Gazette’s Tom Roeder reported yesterday from Odierno’s press availability in Colorado Springs: “I’m concerned we’re really on the razor’s edge […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Jeffco School Board member Julie Williams hopped on her Facebook page July 14 and shared a link titled, “How did the Nazis control education?” “Controlling education was a way of taking over the minds of children from kindergarten to university,” reads the article, published by Yad Vesham The Holocaust Martyrs’ and Heroes’ […]
We’ve been having some confounding technical problems lately, culminating in a lot of downtime for Colorado Pols on Thursday. We are working on moving to a new server/host — which is about as much fun as cramming a box of toothpicks in your ear — and we’re really, really, really hopeful that we can finish […]
The Colorado Independent’s Nat Stein reports on legislation co-sponsored by Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet, along with Reps. Ed Perlmutter and Jared Polis in the House: Sen. Michael Bennet joined 21 other senators to introduce a bill on Monday that would reinstate honor for the estimated 100,000 military service members discharged since World War II for […]

This weekend, GOP Rep. Gordon “Dr. Chaps” Klingenschmitt participated in the El Paso County Republican Party Cowpie Throwing Contest at the El Paso County Fair. Unfortunately, El Paso County’s most (in)famous state representative did not win this prestigious competition, reportedly on account of his chunk of manure disintegrating in mid-flight–but his mere participation was enough […]
(Birds of a feather and so forth – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Failed state senate candidate Tony Sanchez, who lost the SD-22 Jeffco race last year to Democrat Andy Kerr, is now directing an organization whose registered agent, Barry Arrington, has a history of making anti-LGBT comments and working for extremist groups. Sanchez’s organization, Freedom […]
As the Colorado Statesman’s Vic Vela reports today, organizers of the petition drive to recall three right-wing members of the Jefferson County Board of Education are running way ahead of schedule, bringing in the 15,000 required Jeffco voter signatures to recall each school board member in a matter of a couple weeks instead of their nominal September […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) UPDATE 5 p.m.: Here is the letter referenced below, without any deletions, as provided via the Secretary of State’s Office. It’s from Richard Westfall, not Ryan Call, as alleged below. A couple items of note are 1) a matter under investigation by the Federal Election Commission and 2) a matter involving the […]
In a note circulated earlier this afternoon, business reporter Mark Jaffe, an experienced journalist with particular expertise covering oil and gas issues in Colorado, announced he will take the buy-out offered by management of the rapidly-declining Denver Post. Prior to working for the Post, Jaffe was a business correspondent for Bloomberg News and the Philadelphia […]
Late last week, a Pols commenter wrote a post titled, “Who’s Perry Haney, Again?” The question is particular valid because you’d have to be a super-seasoned Colorado politico to recognize the name “Perry Haney.” But to truly understand Perry Haney, you need to ask a second question: Where is Perry Haney? Before we get to […]
How else are we to interpret what the Colorado Statesman reported yesterday? Republican Rep. Doug Lamborn called Friday for Colorado State University to stop using fetal tissue from abortions in its research while CSU defended its work as above reproach both legally and ethically. In a letter to CSU President Tony Frank, Lamborn cited documents […]

TOP OF MIND TODAY… ► The Coffmangate Scandal rages on as infighting in the State Republican Party […]
From the very beginning, the Coffmangate Scandal has been a right-on-right slugfest of competing accusations with varying degrees of vitriol. Numerous Republicans have simultaneously tried to downplay the growing story while also making sure to sneak their own jabs into the commentary, and a new post today from the right-wing blog Politichicks makes it clear […]
As the Grand Junction Sentinel’s Charles Ashby reports, a much-anticipated confrontation between backers of a northwest Colorado coal mine and Interior Secretary Sally Jewell this weekend didn’t go off with quite the bang expected: Interior Secretary Sally Jewell reassured northwest Colorado officials and U.S. Rep. Scott Tipton, R-Colo., that the U.S. Department of the Interior […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) During her June 26 testimony before a Republican committee, which was investigating numerous allegations against Colorado’s GOP chair, State Attorney General Cynthia Coffman was unable to present “significant facts” because of time restrictions. That’s the allegation in a post today on the conservative Politichicks blog. In the post, Kathryn Porter claims to have […]
This morning, 9NEWS aired Kyle Clark’s latest Balance of Power interview with Colorado Sen. Morgan Carroll, who is running for Congress against Rep. Mike Coffman in the swing Sixth District. In today’s must-watch interview, Carroll gave an able preview of the issues in this race, demonstrating a willingness to go directly after Coffman that will […]
We’re going to take just a quick moment to note the latest offensive nonsense to emanate from GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump’s mouth: Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said he does not owe John McCain an apology for saying the Arizona senator is only a war hero “because he was captured.” Trump told Martha Raddatz on […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) So who is this Perry Haney guy who’s going to challenge Morgan Carroll for the CD6 Democratic nomination? 1. A Chiropractor, who has had his medical license restricted in two different states (IA and CO) because of unnecessary massage therapy, and overcharging patients. Pols, 12/13/1, quoting from the IA board findings. […]
Yesterday, in the immediate aftermath of the tragic attacks on a military recruiting station and a separate reserve post near Chattanooga, Tennessee, Colorado Sen. Laura Waters Woods of Arvada swung into action on Facebook: The biggest problem with this claim, says Media Matters for America, is that it isn’t true: Four Marines were killed when a […]

(Naturally – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Rep. Mike Coffman came out swinging against Planned Parenthood yesterday, telling KNUS 710-AM’s Dan Caplis, “It’s just one thing after another with Planned Parenthood.” Then why did Coffman feature a Planned Parenthood logo in a campaign ad just last year, Caplis should have asked Coffman. Coffman’s 2014 ad stated that Coffman “was […]
“You can’t stop it, you can only hope to contain it.” – Unknown origin If you close your eyes and squeeze them tightly…if you hold your breath and hum loudly to yourself…for a few moments, then, you can make the Coffmangate Scandal go away. But just for a moment. In today’s Washington Post, the Coffmangate […]
