It’s the summer of an off-year in American politics, a time when voters are about as tuned out to political subject matter as they ever are–which is always relatively tuned out, but even more so during vacation season 15 months from the next main event. But the political industrial complex remains fully staffed, and always looking for […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) KLZ 560-AM will install a new morning-show host this week, replacing Randy Corporon, who resigned in protest after station owner Don Crawford, Jr, temporarily banned former Rep. Tom Tancredo and (reportedly) GOP Chair Steve House from KLZ’s airwaves. “Yes, our man, Rush, will announce and introduce him Monday during his show,” […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Groups promoting hatred and fear of Muslims, gays, immigrants, unionized workers, and people of color are openly meeting in Colorado. These meetings are being promoted by mainstream Republican activists, and are aimed at influencing policy by informing local law enforcement and legislators of the “threats” these groups pose. The John Birch […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Colorado, summertime. The living is easy… Sure we have some of the best winter recreation in the world, and Color Sunday drives and hunting season make fall the busiest part of the season for many Colorado communities. But there is something about a Rocky Mountain summer that is hard to […]
Ed O’Keefe of the Washington Post reports on a fascinating angle to the Donald Trump for President show: While the national newscasts on ABC, CBS and NBC covered Trump’s visit to Laredo, Tex., coverage of the GOP presidential candidate dominated the national news broadcasts on Univision and Telemundo.

Happy to relay a public service announcement from U.S. Army Gen. Ray Odierno to all the “good citizens” brandishing firearms outside local military recruiting centers in the wake of the Chattanooga shootings–as the Colorado Springs Gazette’s Tom Roeder reported yesterday from Odierno’s press availability in Colorado Springs: “I’m concerned we’re really on the razor’s edge […]

How else are we to interpret what the Colorado Statesman reported yesterday? Republican Rep.

From the very beginning, the Coffmangate Scandal has been a right-on-right slugfest of competing accusations with varying degrees of vitriol. Numerous Republicans have simultaneously tried to downplay the growing story while also making sure to sneak their own jabs into the commentary, and a new post today from the right-wing blog Politichicks makes it clear […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) So who is this Perry Haney guy who’s going to challenge Morgan Carroll for the CD6 Democratic nomination? 1.

Yesterday, in the immediate aftermath of the tragic attacks on a military recruiting station and a separate reserve post near Chattanooga, Tennessee, Colorado Sen.

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Last week on Colorado Public Television’s Colorado Inside Out, Dave Kopel showed real independence, not allegiance to the ideology of the Independence Institute, where he works, when he called Democrat Morgan Carroll “formidable” and a “really excellent” candidate to take on Republican Rep.

From Williams’ press release this morning, released just after word spread on social media of Bartels’ decision to leave […]
All press is good press, as the saying goes, so long as they spell your name correctly. It’s a neat saying…but it really isn’t true. For example, take a look at this lede from ace political reporter Lynn Bartels in Sunday’s Denver Post: Extortion. Blackmail. Infidelity. Incompetence. Defamation of character. The soap opera surrounding Steve […]
