“Tiger King’s” Carol Baskin Pours Big Bucks Into Big Cat Hunting Ban

Among the 14 statewide measures Colorado voters are working through on this year’s ballot is Proposition 127, which would ban the hunting of mountain lions, lynx, and bobcats, with exceptions for self-defense or defending livestock. It’s not a fight in which we in this space have a dog or a cat, but as FOX 31 […]

Gabe Evans: So Far to the Right He’s Almost in Kansas

Republican Gabe Evans has been letting his right-wing freak flag fly in recent weeks as Election Day gets closer and he is forced to elaborate further regarding his positions on a number of important topics. For example, his 111-word non-answer on the easiest political question imaginable: When is it okay to hit children in public schools? The […]

Down The Darkest Rabbit Hole To A Place Trump Calls Aurora

The dust has settled in the extreme northern smidge of the city of Aurora next to Denver International Airport where ex-President Donald Trump held a rally Friday to promote his fictional narrative of the “takeover” of this Republican-controlled city of 400,000 by migrant gangs, to be followed shortly by the overrunning of the entire state […]

Arizona GOP Confirms They’re Filling In For Dave Williams’ Nonfunctioning Colorado GOP

The Grand Junction Sentinel’s Charles Ashby ran down the scoop on the strange story we’ve been talking about for over a week now, mailers delivered in two competitive Colorado congressional races paid for by the Arizona Republican Party–a situation sufficiently unusual that we at first speculated it may have been some kind of printing error. […]

Arizona Republican Party Sends Second Mail Piece for Gabe Evans

Arizona has nine congressional districts…or 10 if you count Colorado’s eighth congressional district. As we noted last week, the Arizona Republican Party sent out a mailer in support of Republican Gabe Evans, who is trying to unseat Democratic Rep. Yadira Caraveo in CO-08. This was a strange expenditure that we have never seen in 20+ […]

Boebert Damns Her Would-Be Successor With Faint Praise

As Reuben Schafir reports for the Durango Herald, on Friday afternoon Colorado’s carpetbagging sensation Rep. Lauren Boebert did something that at first glance readers might not have expected: hosting a town hall in the southwest Colorado town of Ignacio, hundreds of miles deep in Boebert’s soon-to-be-former Third Congressional District, actually making good on a promise […]

“Dr. Phil” Jumps On Board The Aurora Crazy Tren

As Westword’s Bennito Kelty reports, the substantial viewership of daytime talk show host Dr. Phil McGraw, trusted by millions for the advice he dispenses on air but also with a record of controversies and legal trouble of his own manufacture, was infotained on Monday with yet another wildly exaggerated portrayal of Aurora, Colorado, a city […]

Arizona Republican Party Throws Down for Gabe Evans?

If you are a likely voter without a strong record of political affiliation, we don’t need to tell you that your mailbox is full of campaign advertisements. This is particularly true if you live in congressional district eight, which is home to the most visible 2024 race in Colorado between incumbent Democratic Congresswoman Yadira Caraveo […]

Poll: Is Trump Coming To Aurora Or Not?

As the Denver Post’s Seth Klamann reports, we’re coming up on two weeks since ex-President Donald Trump promised to visit what he describes as the war-torn streets of Aurora, Colorado, where roving Venezuelan “supergangs” are eating the dogs and cats… Sorry, we got the details mixed up. It’s Haitians eating the pets in Springfield, Ohio, […]

Dave Williams’ Colorado GOP Gets Back To Offending Everybody

Colorado Republicans today are still reeling from or celebrating (depending on what side you’re on) yesterday’s ruling by an El Paso County judge definitively rejecting the attempt by critics of state party chairman Dave “Don’t Need No Stinking Brandon” Williams to oust him and his elective leadership allies, and replace Williams with former U.S. Senate […]

Dave Williams Triumphs In Colorado Republican Party Leadership Battle

As Colorado Public Radio’s Megan Verlee reports, an El Paso County judge has once again upended the struggle to determine who is in control of the Colorado Republican Party, perhaps decisively this time–ruling that the vote to remove state party chairman Dave “Brandon Out” Williams organized by pretender-chairman Eli Bremer was not sufficient to accomplish […]

Republicans Misunderstand Leverage in Stupidest Shutdown Threat

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson is really not very good at this whole governing thing. Like, historically bad. With less than 50 days to go until the 2024 Election, Johnson on Wednesday tried to ram through a continuing resolution to fund the government tied to a proposal so idiotic that many House Republicans publicly […]

Local GOP Fundraiser Packs Both Heat And Meat

‘Tis the season for fundraisers by party organizations great and small, and without much help expected from the internally riven and cash-starved Colorado Republican Party, the Montezuma County GOP is getting creative with their gimmicks to coax open the wallets of the party faithful. Or maybe you won’t find it creative at all, but at […]

No Pets Were Eaten During the Making of this Episode (feat. Sen. Michael Bennet)

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast…with less than two months to go until the biggest election of our lives, Kamalamentum is still picking up speed…or is it?  The media, and apparently a decently large slice of the American electorate, are grading Donald Trump on a rollercoaster sized curve; we ask, ‘Why the hell […]

Pledge Ensures That Evans Will Vote Against Any Background Check for Guns, Says Libertarian

(The tail wags the Gabe — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder Libertarian Party congressional candidate Eric Joss dropped out of Colorado’s most competitive congressional race last week after his Republican opponent Gabe Evans pledged to abide by a set of principles, including, for example, “I will vote to always protect and […]
