Sorry for the caps, but I am officially renouncing Libertad and asking him/her to spank it down or leave. Just because we agree on a cross-section of issues does not give you my endorsement to call people names in lieu of debating them, even if they’ve done it to you first. There. Now the next […]
(We have some very knowledgable people here on Pols – thank you for posting this Danny. – promoted by DavidThi808) Short selling has long been a scapegoat for market failures, but any trader worth his salt will tell you its not short selling that is the problem. Part of the bailout plan is a set […]
This is Your Nation on white priviledge By Tim Wise 9/13/08 For those who still can’t grasp the concept of white privilege, or who are constantly looking for some easy-to-understand examples of it, perhaps this list will help. White privilege is when you can get pregnant at seventeen like Bristol Palin and everyone is quick […]
(Very well written – promoted by DavidThi808) While details are yet to be hammered out, the little in the released draft proposal make three things are clear: the proposal as outlined gives the treasury immense police power, it will call for an immense outlay of capital and there is no punishment of the idiots who […]
From Tanta: What I really really like is the idea of subjecting CEOs to the same petty humiliation everyone else gets treated to. I suggest that for every separate asset these CEOs sell to the government, they be required to write a Hardship Letter over a 1010 warning (that’s a reference to the statute forbidding […]
from FiveThirtyEight we have great news: And we apparently are very very important. I feel bad for Jake Jabs because the only ads on TV for the next 6 weeks will be political ones. First we have the tipping point states. Those are the states that decide if it’s a close election. But then they […]
The measure would allow the general assembly or voters in the cities that permit limited gaming to extend the hours of limited gaming operations; to add roulette, craps, or both to the allowed games; and to increase the maximum bet up to $100. The extra tax revenue generated by the changes would be required to […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) The current Sept/Oct edition of Contingencies, the magazine of the American Academy of Actuaries has an opinion piece by John McCain outlining his health plan: Opening up the health insurance market to more vigorous nationwide competition, as we have done over the last decade in banking, would provide more […]
According to poll results released by EMILY’s List (which has been less than effective in Colorado in recent elections, but nevertheless…), Democrat Betsy Markey leads Republican incumbent Marilyn Musgrave in CD-4 by a surprisingly strong 47-38 margin: Not only do a majority give her negative job performance ratings (31% positive, 55% negative), they don’t like […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) In a Senate race with an opponent who was recently all but booed off the stage at a John McCain campaign event in Colorado Springs, Mark Udall should be farther ahead than he is. The reasons for Udall’s inability to leave Bob Schaffer in the dust are numerous: Dick […]
-How can John McCain claim he plans to bring about change to the election process and Washington D.C. when he is working with the man known as Bush’s Brain and the architect behind the 2 Bush terms, Karl Rove? -Sarah Palin claims to be an advocate for special needs children but she cut the Alaska […]
We were copied on an email sent by the liberal activist group Progress Now to Rep. Marilyn Musgrave (follows), directing her to answer a YouTube question from a CD-4 resident: Progress Now’s “Misguided Musgrave” website has a form to submit your own question for Musgrave. The site looks a great deal like Musgrave’s campaign website, […]
I am going to post a diary a day, one for each initiative, so we can discuss each one in detail. In order starting with… Amendment 46 – The effect of this is very simple and straightforward – it will eliminate any form of Affirmative Action by the state, including admission at state Colleges. Further […]
It certainly looks that way. WHILE campaigning in public for a speedy withdrawal of US troops from Iraq, Sen. Barack Obama has tried in private to persuade Iraqi leaders to delay an agreement on a draw-down of the American military presence. According to Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari, Obama made his demand for delay a […]
http://online.wsj.com/article/… To those who don’t believe that the “sky is falling” perhaps they should have a heads up. The fact that Paulson permitted Lehman to go under disturbs greatly. AIG Seeks Huge Loan As Stock Dives 61% By MATTHEW KARNITSCHNIG and LIAM PLEVEN September 16, 2008 American International Group Inc., its shares in free-fall, struggled […]

Is this what we want for America? To date, independent, nonpartisan fact checkers […]
The Obama campaign launched the new McLOBBYIST.COM website which details McCain’s lobbyist run campaign, calling it the McCain Gamble. The Obama campaign is also running new TV ads on this issue. The Issues – What does this mean for you? What does a lobbyist controlled McCain-Palin ticket mean for you? It means lobbyists come first. […]
Washington Post: Democrat Barack Obama again shattered the monthly record for presidential fundraising, bringing in $66 million in August, according to figures his campaign released this morning. Obama also expanded his already enormous list of donors, adding more than 500,000 first-time donors in August and bringing to 2.5 million the number of people who have […]
From today’s NY Times. Did you hear about how Barack Obama wants to have sex education in kindergarten, and called Sarah Palin a pig? Did you hear about how Ms. Palin told Congress, “Thanks, but no thanks” when it wanted to buy Alaska a Bridge to Nowhere? These stories have two things in common: they’re […]
The Grand Junction Sentinel notes recent shifts that may bode well for Democrat Barack Obama in red rock country: Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama’s decision to stop in Grand Junction and Pueblo might seem a bit odd, given that most of Colorado’s voters are on the Front Range. However, political observers said Thursday that Obama’s […]
Crossposted from MY LEFT WING To call a spade a bloody shovel means more than speaking plainly; rather, it means saying something that is true but unpalatable — or impolitic. During an otherwise stellar appearance on David Letterman’s show last night, Barack Obama missed an opportunity to deliver a kidney punch to John McCain. In […]
Blowing a textbook dog whistle, every bit as much as the little blonde tart winking at Harold Ford, as the Denver Post reports: The latest attack ad in Colorado’s acrimonious Senate battle shows a hippie standing next to a VW van and talking about Democrat Mark Udall’s support for a Department of Peace. As the […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) As Colorado continues it’s record drilling spree–with the federal government leasing roadless forests, Roan Plateau, and pretty much any piece of public land that the industry asks for–we learned yesterday in sordid details about the sex/drug/graft ring fueling the Mineral Management Service. The MMS is responsible for returning money […]
I have a lot of Republican friends and alot of Obamaphile friends. My mother is a tax attorney, and I work in public policy. And one thing I am sick of hearing is that “Obama is going to raise my taxes!!!” So I was reading one blog today and came across a Business Week article […]
crossposted from MY LEFT WING “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” This election marks a potential turning point in American history. The American people will either […]
