Fellow Polsters, The only news these days seems to be about nonstop political scandals. I have often been approached by my many supporters to run for public office, being such a good and highly competent guy and all. (I may have misunderstood them when they say, “Well why don’t you run for office?” I choose […]
Scott Gessler. Never forget Scott Gessler. Gessler was an ambitious Republican attorney who was elected Colorado’s Secretary of State (SOS) in 2010. His one term in office was marked by numerous scandals, a moonlighting controversy, and easily-disproved false claims about “voter fraud” that harmed Republican candidates and elected officials across the state. Gessler thought he […]
The Washington Post has been conducting interviews with female voters in the suburbs of Atlanta and Denver, and today published a long story looking at how women are shaping the 2018 election. In what was probably an unintentional side-effect, the Post story also laid bare the right-wing leanings of the Colorado Springs Gazette. Among the women […]
FOX 31’s Joe St. George has been doing a good job this year with a series of “Truth Check” fact-checks (everybody’s got their brand) on political ads running in Colorado. St. George’s latest effort last night takes a critical look at an ad running against Republican gubernatorial candidate Walker Stapleton criticizing his attendance record at the […]
We talk a lot about Republican gubernatorial candidate Walker Stapleton in this space. In fact, Stapleton was the subject of our first blog post today after his flabbergastingly-disastrous interview with CBS4 last night. It makes perfect sense that we would regularly discuss the GOP nominee for the top job in Colorado — after all, this […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Despite widespread condemnation of Trump’s mandate to separate immigrant children from their parents at the border, U.S. Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO) doubled down on his support for the Trump policy today, telling a radio host that the “children are being separated from their parents out of consideration for their own safety.” […]
Four states held Primary elections on Tuesday (Indiana, North Carolina, Ohio, and West Virginia), and perhaps the biggest takeaway from those results is this: 2018 is a terrible year to be an incumbent Republican. As the Washington Post reports: Republican members of the House fared especially poorly Tuesday in primaries across four states, offering fresh evidence […]
We’re asking seriously. Tell us for posterity in comments below.
Congressional Republicans were giddy in late 2017 when they finally did a thing after spending most of the year fumbling around with healthcare “reform” and generally accomplishing nothing. The Great Republican Tax Plan was touted as “rocket fuel” for the American economy that would spur American investments and corporate growth, which in turn would trickle […]
In every election cycle there is at least one high-profile campaign that, for whatever reason, appears to be snakebitten at every turn. We’re still more than six months away from the General Election, but the gubernatorial campaign for Cynthia Coffman is the clear frontrunner as the biggest dumpster fire of 2018. Here’s more proof for that […]
USA TODAY’s Nathan Bomey reports: Dick’s Sporting Goods is banning sales of assault-style weapons across all its stores after the Parkland, Fla. school shooting. The nation’s largest sporting goods retailer announced the move in an open letter and an appearance by CEO Ed Stack on Good Morning America. The retailer will also end sales of […]
The Trump administration has been blasting a firehose of bullshit for more than a year now. The sheer amount of complete nonsense emanating from Washington D.C. is so overwhelming at times that it is natural to want to shrug off a few untruths if only for the sake of preserving some level of sanity. But not all […]
(Walkin’ it on back – Promoted by Colorado Pols) U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) is continuing to soften his threat to block Justice Department nominees if U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions won’t reverse his decision to undermine pot legalization in Colorado and elsewhere. In a radio interview Wednesday, Gardner called U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions […]
Colorado Attorney General Cynthia Coffman has almost been running for Governor for an entire month now. She’s still not getting any better at this politics thing. We’ve talked before in this space about Coffman’s amazingly-terrible campaign for Governor, and the Colorado Independent gives us yet another example this week: Days after it was reported that Cynthia Coffman, who […]
President Trump says that the Republican tax proposals represent the largest tax cuts “in the history of our country.” This is not even close to being true, unless perhaps Trump is talking about the benefits to his own family. As NBC News reports: President Donald Trump has insisted, for months, that the Republican tax plan […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) This diary is about small victories, local heroes, sweet stories, random kindnesses, unexpected grace, cold justice served up on a hot plate. As always, your interpretation of what is “good news” is probably different than mine, and categories often overlap. Attorneys General across the country (including Colorado’s Coffman) are claiming that […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) This diary is about small victories, local heroes, sweet stories, random kindnesses, unexpected grace, cold justice served up on a hot plate. As always, your interpretation of what is “good news” is probably different than mine. This week, it’s all about healthcare and the resistance to the BCRA Wealthcare bill. We’ve […]
(Because Lord knows we can use some – Promoted by Colorado Pols) This was a hard week to write “Good News” for. Still, there was some. Small victories, local heroes, sweet stories, random kindnesses, unexpected grace, cold justice served up on a hot plate…that’s what this diary is about. As always, your interpretation of what […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Small victories, local heroes, sweet stories, random kindnesses, unexpected grace, cold justice served up on a hot plate…that’s what this diary is about. As always, your interpretation of what is “good news” is probably different than mine. And that’s fine. Something I’m missing? Add it in the comments. LGBT: Massive Marches […]
(Get More…Gooder! – promoted by Colorado Pols) This diary, which I hope to publish every Friday, will be all about small victories in the big battles: People doing the right thing for the right reasons. Stories of bravery, generosity, caring, and integrity. Where possible, I’ve connected this to Colorado politics and stories. This is a […]
(There are good things happening? — Promoted by Colorado Pols) U.S. Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO) said on a Denver radio show Friday that it was “premature” for the Trump Administration to appoint a special counsel to investigate Russian interference in the last election–and that it’s “just very difficult” at his town halls to get his positive […]
Colorado Capitol observers are still getting their collective heads around a fairly surprising development in the Republican-controlled Colorado Senate: House Bill 17-1186, a bill requiring insurers to cover dispensing 12 months worth of contraceptives to women with insurance coverage, has passed the chamber and is now awaiting Gov. John Hickenlooper’s signature. Similar legislation died in […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Republican leaders at the Colorado State Capitol are trying to improve their media relations, with off-the-record happy hours, weekly press briefings, and more, according to Feb. 6 report by Rocky Mountain Community Radio’s Bente Birkeland (included below). That’s great news! I’m serious, because journalists can actually help facilitate good policy making, if […]
Noted for the record by Valerie Richardson of the right-wing Washington Times: Donald Trump’s momentum with gay Republicans grew Tuesday with the endorsement of the Colorado Log Cabin Republicans, the latest affiliate to defy the national organization’s refusal to back a presidential candidate. The Colorado chapter joins state groups in Georgia and Texas as well […]
9NEWS’ Brandon Rittiman tried to get Colorado Republicans on the record in response to hotly controversial remarks from GOP presidntial nominee Donald Trump this week, about the possibility of “Second Amendment people” stopping a potential President Hillary Clinton from “abolishing” the Second Amendment–you know, doing what “Second Amendment people” do. He didn’t have much success: […]
