Reporters looking for another source to counter senatorial candidate Cory Gardner’s contention that “there is no federal personhood bill” can turn to gubernatorial candidate Bob Beauprez, who cosponsored federal personhood legislation and acknowledges his own support for it. And while he’s talking, Beauprez should explain what his federal personhood bill would do. Both Gardner and […]
'Tis the season for newspaper editorial board endorsements. As always, we want to make clear that we won't be posting links to every endorsement published by every newspaper in Colorado, despite the perennial requests we get each election cycle to do so. There's far too many, and frankly, most of them are not newsworthy. But we did […]
FRIDAY UPDATE: Cory Gardner earns the dubious honor of Factcheck.org's Whopper of the Week, via Politico: FACTCHECK.ORG WHOPPER OF THE WEEK: Rep. Cory Gardner, the Republican Senate candidate in Colorado, grabs this week’s honor for insisting “there is no federal personhood bill.” Gardner is a co-sponsor of the Life Begins at Conception Act. The bill […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) POLS UPDATE: Cory Gardner goes all broken record again for MSNBC's Morning Joe today: —– If you've been following my blog, you know that I can't shake this question out of my head. Why did senatorial candidate Cory Gardner drop the state personhood amendments but remain a co-sponsor of the federal personhood […]
(Everyone agrees but Cory – promoted by Colorado Pols) Fox 31 Denver's Eli Stokols repeatedly tried to convince senatorial candidate Cory Gardner last week that there is such a thing as a federal personhood bill, and Gardner is a co-sponsor of it. In so doing, Stokols cited Factcheck.org, which reported not only that the bill […]
Congressman Cory Gardner’s willingness to butcher the truth in order to get elected to the U.S. Senate is on full display this week as he's been grilled in an interview for lying about a federal personhood bill, called out for citing an organization that doesn't exist, and now, lying about his record on clean energy. […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) In a post on RhRealityCheck.org today, I reported that a mailer produced by senatorial candidate Cory Gardner refers to the “American Association of Obstetricians and Gynecologists” as a backer of his proposal to sell contraception over-the-counter. But this group apparently does not exist. An organization with a similar name, which Gardner […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Fox 31 political reporter Eli Stokols tried hard last week to extract an explanation from senatorial candidate Cory Gardner for his decision to withdraw from "personhood" legislation at the state level but, at the same time, to remain a co-sponsor of a federal personhood bill, which would ban all abortion, even for […]
UPDATE #3: The full interview is now available on Fox 31's website. —– UPDATE #2: Watch Cory Gardner's complete refusal to back up dubious claims about his "cancelled" insurance policy: —– UPDATE: Watch the full devastating exchange between Eli Stokols and Cory Gardner on contraception and abortion rights: —– In mid-October 2010, Democratic Sen. Michael […]
(Stay tuned – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Fox 31 Denver is teasing interview with Cory Gardner to be broadcast 9 a.m. Sunday on reporter Eli Stokols' "#COPolitics from the Source." Judging from the short exchange between Gardner and Stokols broadcast by Fox 31 last night, it appears Stokols pressed Gardner for a factual explanation from […]
(The next logical question – Promoted by Colorado Pols) In the wake of this week's revelation that Bob Beauprez once said he'd sign a bill outlawing abortion in Colorado, even for a 16-year-old who was raped, you have no choice but to ask yourself this bizarre question: If Beauprez were governor, and Rep. Cory Gardner's […]
We've been waiting for many weeks now for the Denver Post to revisit the story of GOP U.S. Senate candidate Cory Gardner's ongoing support for the federal Life at Conception Act–legislation in Congress with functionally similar language to the state Personhood abortion ban ballot measures Gardner disavowed support for soon after entering the Senate race. As […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) In a piece on Colorado's Senate race today, veteran Denver Post political reporter Lynn Bartels misleads readers into thinking a 2007 state personhood bill, sponsored by senatorial candidate Cory Gardner, wouldn't have banned "contraception" when, in fact, the bill would have prohibited the use of common forms of birth control—as well […]
We've talked many times in this space about Republican Congressman Cory Gardner's campaign for U.S. Senate and their obvious confusion about finding the right message for attacking Sen. Mark Udall. Apparently Gardner is still looking for that message. In his latest ad, revealed today, Gardner goes after Udall for having the audacity to have family […]
As the Greeley Tribune's Bridgett Weaver reports, Republican U.S. Senate candidate Cory Gardner has moved his congressional Weld County service office inside a county court house annex building, citing protest activity this summer by immigration reform proponents: Jennifer Finch, county spokeswoman, said Gardner’s move into a county building does not mean the county is taking a […]
MSNBC's Steve Benen reports on the deadline missed by Rep. Cory Gardner last Friday, as noted by our friend Jason Salzman, to remove himself as a co-sponsor of the federal Life at Conception Act before the November elections: No issue has dogged Rep. Cory Gardner’s (R) Senate campaign in Colorado more than a policy known as […]
(The die is cast – Promoted by Colorado Pols) The House of Representatives adjourned at noon today, meaning Colorado senatorial candidate Cory Gardner has officially missed his chance to withdraw his name from the Life at Conception Act, a federal personhood bill, prior to the Nov. election. To uncosponsor the bill, Gardner would have had […]
(Will he or won't he? Does it even matter now? – Promoted by Colorado Pols) It's a big week for senatorial candidate Cory Gardner, as the clock ticks down on his opportunity to withdraw his co-sponsorship from a federal personhood bill, which aims to ban all abortion, even for rape and incest. To get his […]
(Afraid to go on Caplis? Seriously? – Promoted by Colorado Pols) KNUS radio host Dan Caplis said this morning that during 21 years on air, he's "never had trouble booking Cory Gardner." But he said, "we have had, on a regular basis, trouble booking Cory Gardner for the last three-or-four months," even though his show […]
The last few weeks have been very hard on GOP U.S. Senate candidate Cory Gardner, with numerous objective news sources debunking claims Gardner has relied on to escape his unsightly past record on reproductive choice and contraception. The latest this past Friday was from CBS4's Shaun Boyd: Key excerpts: GARDNER: I believe the pill ought to be available […]
SUNDAY UPDATE #2: The Denver Post's story on Tom Ready's comments was corrected late this morning, though their 180-degree misquote of what he said is unfortunately what their print subscribers are reading today: *Editor's note: The article has been edited to correct the statement "There is still question about whether it really happened, Sal." The previous edit stated […]
A new ad running in Colorado from Planned Parenthood Action Fund tears into GOP U.S. Senate candidate Cory Gardner's "alternative plan" for over-the-counter sales of oral contraceptives, meant to replace the Affordable Care Act's guarantee of no-cost access to birth control for insured women once Gardner's stated goal of "repealing Obamacare" is achieved. From PPAF's […]
New polling out today from SurveyUSA conducted for the Denver Post shows incumbent Sen. Mark Udall with a steady four-point lead over GOP challenger Cory Gardner. Lynn Bartels reports: U.S. Sen. Mark Udall leads Republican challenger Cory Gardner by 4 percentage points in a new Denver Post poll that shows the Democratic incumbent is ahead […]
A press release from Sen. Mark Udall's campaign on their new TV spot hitting GOP challenger Cory Gardner over last year's shutdown of the federal government–which occurred just after major flooding along the Front Range of Colorado, requiring an emergency federal response. After several weeks of skirmishes on the issue, Udall takes the proverbial gloves […]
9NEWS political reporter Brandon Rittiman has done a commendable job this election season with a series of Truth Tests of political TV spots running in Colorado. We haven't always agreed 100% with Rittiman's analysis, but the simple act of looking at the claims made this year, like Americans For Prosperity's bogus Obamacare attack ads, has been invaluable […]
