Where are our CD-4 folks? So Cory Gardner is back home lending an ear to his peeps but ColPol doesn’t have any boots on the ground? Coloradoan.com’s Divide on display at Gardner meeting is being raked for having a too friendly write up. Seems the crowd was majority 65+ in age and were denied hearing […]
We’ve regularly discussed in this space the problems that Republicans face in 2012 as they try to maneuver between Tea Partiers who want strict adherence to far-right ideals and Independent voters who don’t want big cuts to programs such as Medicare. As Bob Moore of the Ft. Collins Coloradoan reports, Republican Rep. Cory Gardner was […]
(“Do you need a study to be intellectually honest?” Uh, yes. It’s a lot better than “watch TV” as backup. – promoted by Colorado Pols) In an old column for the Rocky, I asked KOA radio-host Mike Rosen about his oft-repeated opinion that The Denver Post has a “liberal bias on its news page.” Can Rosen cite a study to […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Rep. Cory Gardner told Al Malmberg on KCOL Radio (AM 600 in Loveland) today that he wasn’t sure how he’d vote on the bill negotiated by President Obama to extend the debt limit. But Gardner said he’d like to sit on the committee, established under the legislation, to find […]
Back in June, we had some fun with the…unusual defense of freshman Rep. Cory Gardner’s vote in favor of the GOP 2012 budget proposal (known as the “Ryan Plan”) offered by Gardner’s spokesperson Rachel Boxer. Despite the undisputed agreement that the 2012 GOP budget would result in large reductions in coverage for Medicare beneficiaries starting […]
After reading yesterday’s brief update in the Fort Collins Coloradoan, you might have thought that freshman Rep. Cory Gardner of Colorado was in the bag as far as Speaker John Boehner’s latest (and so far unsuccessful) debt-ceiling legislation was concerned: Gardner participated in a press conference [Thursday] morning with other GOP freshmen to express support […]
A report worth noting from the Greeley Gazette’s Jack Minor: Supporters of the McConnell proposal say that Tea Party expectations for spending reductions has always been unrealistic. The reasoning is, that by giving Obama the authority to raise the debt limit, he will own the issue… Tea Party members have expressed outrage over the McConnell […]
Politico’s David Rogers updates on the collapsing GOP debt-ceiling front lines: Washington’s political mood darkened dramatically Tuesday, as the debt ceiling crisis showed signs of spinning out of control and Republicans began looking for an escape path from the default showdown they helped create… Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) set the day’s tone early […]
Fox News and the rightiesphere swung into action today at an apparent live one: The chief economic culprit of President Obama’s Wednesday press conference was undoubtedly “corporate jets.” He mentioned them on at least six occasions, each time offering their owners as an example of a group that should be paying more in taxes. “I […]
A fascinating story from the Loveland Reporter-Herald’s Alicia Stice: responding to criticism of Rep. Cory Gardner’s vote for the “Ryan Plan” 2012 budget, a textbook deception: A group of about 50 people gathered Thursday outside of U.S. Rep. Cory Gardner’s Fort Collins office to protest his recent vote for a budget proposal that would make […]
Discussing the surprise victory this week by Democrat Kathy Hochul in New York’s CD-26 special election, for which credit is broadly being attributed to the Republican 2012 budget proposal and its replacement of Medicare with a voucher system in ten years, we posted video clips of Colorado freshman Reps. Cory Gardner and Scott Tipton defending […]
Both Colorado House Minority Leader Sal Pace and Senate President Brandon Shaffer are strongly considering runs against freshman Reps. Scott Tipton and Cory Gardner in 2012. This isn’t news to us, of course, and it’s not likely to be news to most of our readers. But the confirmation by Chuck Plunkett of the Denver paper […]
UPDATE: In case you weren’t completely sure about the extent to which Colorado’s freshman Rep. Cory Gardner had committed himself in support of the Paul Ryan 2012 budget plan, here’s his floor speech–with Gardner’s introduction from Rep. Ryan himself: No denying it now, is there? —– As the Washington Post reports: Anxiety is rising among […]
This morning, I noticed that Cory Gardner’s official website was in violation of House Ethics rules in linking to his campaign Twitter account. It seems like a little thing, but he was using his official site to advertise and connect people to campaign material. Well, less than 8 hours later, he removed the offending links […]
Interesting sidenote from Politico’s Kasie Hunt–will Cory Gardner requite the love? Building good will on the Hill for his expected White House run, Mitt Romney is sending more cash to congressional Republicans. Romney’s Free and Strong America PAC sent $83,500 to 40 members of Congress Tuesday, for a total of $208,000 sent to lawmakers’ campaigns […]
(Thou shalt not touch the third rail – promoted by Colorado Pols) The 10 Commandments always make for good conversations. For example, do you prefer the version that includes “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife?” Or the version that shortens this to “Thou shall not covet?” Trouble is, most everyone I ask, except my […]
(Gardner probably meant to say buyer’s remorse. Or something. – promoted by MADCO) I read Pols’ post yesterday about Cory Gardner’s co-sponsorship of H.R. 3 with both interest and no small amount of outrage. As a woman and a CD-4 voter, these things are of obvious concern to me. I don’t think it needs much […]
There’s a very interesting fight building in Congress around recently-introduced legislation that would tighten federal funding restrictions on abortion procedures. The bill, H.R. 3, is sponsored by over 170 mostly GOP members of Congress, including Colorado Rep. Mike Coffman, Doug Lamborn, and freshman Rep. Cory Gardner—Scott Tipton is not listed among the bill’s cosponsors, and […]
Photo Credit: DOE/NREL. The picture shows smoggy haze near Denver, CO. Thanks to our friends at Alternet for a story about H.R. 97. That legislation would declare various gasses not to be ‘air pollutants’ so EPA couldn’t regulate them. Introduced by Rep. Marsha Blackburn [R-TN7] Free Industry Act – Amends the Clean Air Act to: […]
Raw Story’s Eric Dolan reports: Rep. Fred Upton (R-MI), who will become the chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee this week, indicated Sunday that he would block Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) greenhouse gas regulations. “We are not going to let this administration regulate what they’ve been unable to legislate,” Rep. Upton told Fox […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) While CD-4 residents will lose an incredibly effective advocate in Betsy Markey come January, her replacement certainly seems to be hitting the ground running, so to speak. Rep.-elect Cory Gardner was named to the Repubs Transition Team by Oregon Rep. Greg Walden. http://www.nationalreview.com/… How this compares to last year […]
I came across Markey’s most recent release and thought it exemplified my frustration with the CD-4 race. One of the most irritating parts of watching this race is hearing Gardner say nothing of substance. Even the Denver Post criticized his lack of substance in an editorial, despite their endorsement of him. I watched the NoCo5 […]
UPDATE: More details from Fox 31. Apparently Gardner’s campaign has pulled the ad from every station on which it had been running: Apparently, the ad mistook the vote of Massachusetts Rep. Ed Markey, who did vote yes on the budget, for that of Markey, the first-term Democrat who is fighting hard to defend her seat […]
“Right now the only person talking about social issues in this campaign is Betsy Markey.” That’s what Cory Gardner told Al Malmbert Oct. 5 on KCOL Fox News Radio AM 600 in Loveland. You’d think Malmberg might have pointed out to Gardner that, hey, Malmberg himself had just asked Gardner about social issues, so it’s […]
