Next month Republican Cory Gardner will be sworn-in as Colorado's newest U.S. Senator. This story is not about that. In fact, let's forget about the outcome of the 2014 Election altogether (at least for the purposes of the words that follow). Regardless of what happened in November, one of the biggest political stories in Colorado […]
We were recently forwarded an email that State Sen. Owen Hill sent to supporters this week, and we must admit to being impressed; when it comes to self-promotional nonsense messaging that ignores history, Hill is a true talent. Hill spends most of his email discussing Republican victories in the 2014 election, though he adds unnecessarily, […]
From Pulitzer Prize-winning fact-checker Politifact–no shortage of lies on the campaign trail in 2014, but here's what they chose as the biggest whopper of this almost-concluded midterm election year: [Since the first Ebola case in America], more Americans — at least nine, and likely many more — have died from the flu. Yet fear of the disease […]
Senators Cory Gardner (R-Colo.), David Perdue (R-Ga.), Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), James Lankford (R-Okla.), Steve Daines (R-Mont.), Mike Rounds (R-S.D.), Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), and Ben Sasse (R-Neb.). “Small businesses and the American people cannot afford President Obama’s countless new regulations and tax increases. There is a right way and a […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Yesterday, Rep. Cory Gardner voted to halt Obama's program to defer deportation of millions of immigrants who have children in our country. Gardner voted in Aug. (during the election campaign) against halting Obama's program to defer deportations of young immigrants. The two votes weren't exactly identical, but they're close enough to make you wonder how Gardner […]
UPDATE #2: Salon.com's Luke Brinker: Endorsing Rep. Cory Gardner’s campaign against Democratic Sen. Mark Udall of Colorado this fall, the editorial board of the Denver Post assured readers that Gardner was not the extremist Udall and Democrats depicted… It turns out that maybe Gardner didn’t really mean all that stuff about being warm and fuzzy […]
(Joke's on you – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Warning to Washington DC reporters: Here comes Senator-elect Cory Gardner! Gardner tried to slither past Colorado reporters by answering questions with falsehoods (See personhood.) or responding to queries with predictions about the future, instead of answers to the actual questions (See immigration.). Now Gardner is trotting out […]
GOP Sen.-elect Cory Gardner appeared on This Week with George Stephanopoulos yesterday, in one of his first national media appearances since his victory last Tuesday. For many viewers who haven't followed the Colorado U.S. Senate race closely, this was a chance to see the much-balleyhooed Colorado Republican wunderkind in action: “I think it’s important that Republicans show that we […]
Most media outlets have a policy that prohibits them from doing any hard-hitting news stories about a campaign once we reach the weekend before Election Day [insert obvious joke here]. It is a practice that we don’t disagree with, because it would be unfair to drop a bombshell accusation on a candidate in a news […]
(Ouch! – promoted by Colorado Pols) Here's my favorite Halloween costume. I only wish I'd actually seen it. @BigMediaBlog what do you think? My costume this year is a knife in my back with a "cg" on the side…. — Keith Mason (@Keith1Mason) November 1, 2014 We all know senatorial candidate Cory Gardner stabbed the […]
I truly believe NPR's Mara LIasson has Stockholm Syndrome from being a Fox News Analyst for many years. That's exactly what Roger Ailes wanted by hiring her and Juan Williams way back when, and when she clearly spouts Republican rhetoric over the People's airwaves on all those "liberal" NPR stations it becomes quite clear: Morning […]
UPDATE: SurveyUSA released its final poll of 2014 today for the Denver Post, showing the gubernatorial race tied and the Senate race within two points: A poll conducted this week shows Gardner at 46 percent and Udall at 44 percent — a narrow edge within the four-percentage-point margin-of-error. The poll surveyed those who are likely to […]
Colorado’s Catholic Bishops, speaking through the Colorado Catholic Conference, announced their “neutral stance” last week on Colorado’s latest personhood measure, Amendment 67. The Bishops’ announcement came in a news release denouncing an anti-personhood media campaign by Catholics for Choice, a national organization that challenges the “Vatican on matters related to sex, marriage, family life and […]
A press release from NARAL Pro-Choice America announces a $450,000 ad buy for the above ad targeting young voters–attacking Republican Cory Gardner on issues he's been hit with before, except a lot funnier: “Cory Gardner tries to deceive Colorado voters on his opposition to birth control and his belief that politicians have a right to interfere […]
The Denver Post’s Lynn Bartels wrote yesterday: “Almost everyone but Congressman Gardner agrees that the federal bill is similar to state ‘personhood’ measures that Coloradans overwhelmingly defeated and Gardner supported until just weeks after entering the Senate race in February.” More proof came the night before, when Gardner’s told 7News’ Marc Stewart (at the 50-second mark here) that the […]
A new poll from local consultant outfit Strategies 360 offers a different look at the Colorado U.S. Senate and gubernatorial races, with a polling sample they consider to be more representative of the 2014 electorate in Colorado than most public polling we've seen–in particular, a more accurate sample of Latino voters. From their memo today: Strategies […]
New polling from NBC/Marist College shows…you guessed it, a continuing nail-biter in Colorado's U.S. Senate race: In the race for U.S. Senate in Colorado, Republican Cory Gardner, 46%, and Democratic incumbent Mark Udall, 45%, are in a virtual tie among likely voters including those who are undecided yet leaning toward a candidate or have voted early. Five percent […]
The Colorado Independent's Susan Greene has a must-read story out today, discussing the late-game turn by GOP U.S. Senate candidate Cory Gardner to an overtly fear-based foreign policy message against incumbent Democratic Sen. Mark Udall: WITH a week until this off-year election, Republicans had two options to prod their party members to vote. One was…to […]
(Makes you wonder… – Promoted by Colorado Pols) A friend snapped these strange-bedfellow signs while cruising around Colorado Springs last week. And he sent me a bunch more. How many Republicans will vote the ticket of Gardner, Beauprez, Coffman, and…Halter?
The Denver Post's Lynn Bartels reports with the San Diego Chargers playing tonight at Mile High Stadium–ouch! Catfishing is phenomenon of a person pretending to be someone they are not by fabricating an identity to lure someone into a relationship. One of the San Diego Chargers is Manti Te’o, the Notre Dame linebacker duped into an engagement […]
A "flip" statement from Republican U.S. Senate candidate Cory Gardner in last week's 9NEWS debate is coming in for harsh criticism from Pulitzer Prize-winning fact-checker Politifact: As fears over Ebola reached a crescendo, Rep. Cory Gardner, R-Colo., took a shot at the federal government’s handling of the disease during a debate with Democratic Sen. Mark […]
(The con is full-on – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Colorado senatorial candidate Cory Gardner took his falsehoods about the government shutdown to a new level this week when he told PBS’ Guen Ifill: Gardner: “I voted for every measure that would have avoided the shutdown. I supported efforts during it to make sure we were finding ways […]
The Denver Post's Lynn Bartels catches Republican U.S. Senate candidate Cory Gardner in yet another…well, if it's not a straight-up lie, we'll be very surprised. Following up on this week's pivotal 9NEWS debate: Republican Senate hopeful Cory Gardner can’t recall voting for a single Democrat although he was one for eight years. Yuma County election […]
UPDATE #2: Talking Points Memo: Colorado GOP Senate nominee Cory Gardner has been confronted before by journalists when he has tried to deny that a federal bill he sponsors is in effect a personhood bill, which could significantly limit abortion access. But at a debate Wednesday night, moderator Kyle Clark of KUSA in Denver put […]
We're seeing a full-scale revolt by journalists against senatorial candidate Cory Gardner's obnoxious denial of the simple fact that the Life at Conception Act, which he co-sponsored last summer, is federal personhood legislation. The latest confrontation occurred last night during 9News' senatorial debate between Gardner and Democrat Mark Udall. 9News Anchor Kyle Clark: You continue […]
