Gardner denies plotting to stop Trump at secretive meeting

(The plot thickens – Promoted by Colorado Pols) In a radio interview this morning, U.S. Sen.

Cory Gardner Goes Full “Con Man”

Reid Epstein of the Wall Street Journal was in Detroit, Michigan last night for the Republican Presidential dick joke exchange debate, and he ran across Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) afterward in the “spin room” (Gardner is a vocal surrogate for Florida Sen. Marco Rubio). Epstein had to ask “Con Man Cory” seven times if he would back Donald Trump if His Hairness […]

Politifact Busts Gardner on Supreme Court Fiction

The partnership between 7NEWS Denver and Pulitzer Prize-winning Politifact made another big contribution to truth in politics Friday evening, demolishing a ridiculous claim from Sen.

[…]

Gardner Takes Neato Gitmo Field Trip

As the Denver Post’s Mark Matthews reports, Colorado’s junior Sen. Cory Gardner is taking a taxpayer-funded junket to the U.S. Navy base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to “see for himself” how the remaining 91-some odd detainees left in legal limbo there are getting on: U.S. Sens. Cory Gardner and Jerry Moran — two ardent critics […]

Sen. Randy Baumgardner Faces Tough SD-8 Rematch

GOP Sen. Randy Baumgardner of Hot Sulphur Springs, often mentioned in this space due to his “dressy Western” appearance at the Capitol and his penchant for similarly rough-hewn politics, is facing a serious challenge once again in 2016 from his 2012 general election opponent, Club 20 board member and Colorado Mountain College teacher Emily Tracy–from a […]

Do your job, Cory Gardner

Stay Classy, Cory Gardner (Hillary In Supermax Edition)

The Colorado Independent’s Corey Hutchins, Colorado’s freshman Sen.

So […]

Expect Gardner to co-sponsor Life at Conception Act soon

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Republican Sen. Cory Gardner spent a good chunk of his election campaign telling us that the Life at Conception Act was really nothing more than a symbolic statement, when, in fact, it is federal personhood legislation that would ban all abortion, even for rape. Gardner infamously described the Life at Conception […]

Cory Gardner Needs a Civics Lesson, Pronto

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 […]

Top Ten Stories of 2015 #7: Cory Gardner Makes Liars Of Everybody

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 […]

Gardner’s Uneasy Ride On Cruz’s Climate Crazy Train

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 […]

Cory Gardner Concern Trolls Obama On ISIS

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. So upset […]

Bennet Votes For CO’s Public Health; Gardner Supports Polluters

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) It’s fairly common for people to feel disenchanted with politics these days. Unfortunately, they’re not unjustified; our elected officials don’t always behave in accordance with the values we expect of them. However, sometimes we get to feel genuine pride for our politicians. For us, one of those came a week ago […]

Cory Gardner Loves Him Some Marco Rubio

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.

How to be a successful sitting duck. By Cory Gardner

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) It’s after Labor Day, and the thin lineup of Republicans even thinking about challenging Sen.

Brauchler Says He’s More Like Ken Buck than Cory Gardner

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Who’s most like you, Sen. Cory Gardner or Rep. Ken Buck? Many see Buck and Gardner as Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, one wearing a smile the other seething with anger.

Enough: Stop Terrorizing Colorado, Cory Gardner

UPDATE: The Fort Collins Coloradoan’s Jason Pohl reports some additional details today that both shed some light on the story and raise more questions–and either way, don’t make Cory Gardner’s hair-raising speculation via press release any more justifiable: A woman called Fort Collins Police Services on May 24 to report “two unknown Middle Eastern males” had approached her […]

Gardner’s Planned Parenthood Vote: Well, Pundit Class?

Denver Post reporter Joey Bunch contributes the local angle to the AP’s national wire story about yesterday’s failed attempt by U.S. Senate Republicans to defund Planned Parenthood, as the brouhaha over thinly-supported allegations of the organization “selling baby body parts” continue to provoke the usual reaction from the anti-choice crowd’s usual suspects. Including Colorado’s junior Sen. […]
