Today, I laid out a comprehensive policy to help all American working families pay for high quality child care – click here to watch my video announcement. I will push for a federal guarantee of help with paying for child care for families earning below $40,000 a year; a sliding scale of assistance for families […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Last night, I wrote a diary here on ColoradoPols highlighting complaints filed against Initiatives 53 and 59, as well as Amendment 47, for alleged fraud during the petition gathering process. Today, the whole petitioning situation got even more, well, criminal. According to 9News, some companies hired to gather signatures […]
You all remember McCain’s hit joke to “Bomb Bomb Bomb… Bomb Iran!” Well he’s back with another zinger! It’s a good thing McCain knows so much about the middle east and has his Maverick style of diplomacy at the forefront of his campaign.
As State 38 writes: Watch out, racing fans. According to an article in Politics Magazine posted yesterday, one of the owners of NASCAR tracks, the International Speedway Corporation (ICS), has declared that no campaigning will take place at any of the tracks they own – including those in Daytona and both candidates’ home states. Interesting, […]
Just wanted to check in with you wacky lefties and see if the fact that Obama is now changing his position on things like NAFTA, Iraq, and FISA was troubling you at all. Obviously, it’s good politics to move to the center for the general, but for him it’s a much longer slide. Thoughts? Here’s […]
Sen. Obama is preaching public service, which is all he and Sen. McCain know because they have spent little meaningful time in private enterprise and consider anyone who works for profit a crook. Obama’s proposal is getting a good going over by Powerlineblog.com: http://www.powerlineblog.com/a… What’s clear to anyone who looks at Obama’s proposal is that […]
UPDATE: Fitz-Gerald campaign denies they are the source of negative phone calls against Polis. This past week saw the first negative retail campaigning in the CD-2 race. Candidate Joan Fitz-Gerald’s campaign has apparently been making phone calls to targeted voters directly attacking opponent Jared Polis, though it’s unclear whether these were simply “robocalls” or live […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Breaking his long silence, in which he has only recently bothered to lay out a few vague talking points positions, Not Indicted Yet Bob has finally opened his mouth. Seizing on the now tired Republican talking point that reducing the price of a gallon of gas by a […]
In keeping with the “State of the World” diary… No effort is too arduous for your on the spot reporter. So this morning I was at the annual 4th of July parade in Kailua, Hawaii. It’s a rough assignment but I sucked it up and flew out here for 10 days. First let’s talk awesome […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) It is that time again. It is the 4th of July weekend; everyone’s feeling patriotic and that’s good. Yet, while election rhetoric rages and partisans pontificate, it is hard to get straight answers from anyone. In the midst of domestic and political turmoil we here on ColoradPols remember […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) From somewhere far away (Houston? Tulsa?) where 70% of the dollars generated from Colorado’s gas drilling boom flow, energy companies are starting to fund the effort to defeat the severance tax ballot initiative. Colorado’s effective severance tax rate is far lower than all of our neighboring states, many of […]
It’s been a little while since we’ve heard much about John McCain and Barack Obama’s VP selection. But as the conventions for both parties approach fast, it’s a pretty safe bet that there is a lot going on behind the scenes as we speak. As such I would like to offer my opinions on the […]
Made you look, though the Denver Post reports not too far off the mark: Brewing scion Pete Coors, who stuck a fork in Bob Schaffer’s GOP senatorial bid in 2004, will be playing [Pols emphasis] the spoons for Schaffer at a honky-tonk fundraiser this month at The Stampede in Aurora. “You see, a few months […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Doug Lamborn has the appearance of a man running for office but terrified of the press’s ability to publicize news he doesn’t want reported. Salida’s Mountain Mail reported here http://www.themountainmail.com… today, July 1, in regard to Lamborn’s race for the 5th Congressional District Seat in Colorado that Despite requests, […]
In today’s Colorado Daily, an article appeared that again exposes a clearly partisan group with a partisan agenda parading around as a do-gooder, non-profit outside the reach of partisan influence. The article stresses the importance of CU students affiliating with a political party to participate in the primary election. Instead of quoting the Democratic Party […]
Lots of new laws go in effect today, including Sunday Liquor Sales! Click below for a list of notable laws that go into effect today, as provided by the House Democrats’ communications office. Bills that become effective July 1 include: SB 221 protects our forests and reduces fire danger. Local communities will get the help […]
I feel sorry for the Republicans in this state. Many of their elected officials are mediocre and they appear to have a monopoly on cringe-inducing ones. Now add to that the comparison of state chairs, Pat Waak vs Dick Wadhams. It’s like the L.A. Lakers against a middle school basketball team. Pat is the party […]
Sundays Colorado Springs Gazette Editorial STATE RACISM DOESN’T WORK AFFIRMATIVE ACTION ON THE ROPES Remove all the political pettifoggery, obfuscation and claptrap, and one thing becomes clear: decisions based on race and gender are racist and sexist. Period. That’s why a recent poll regarding the November ballot issue that would end racial […]
Considering McCain’s history of mistreating his wife, and the context of the conversation he was having, this might have been the most inappropriate statement the republican nominee could make. In an interview with the Las Vegas Sun, columnist Jon Ralston asked McCain why he didn’t choose Gov. Jim Gibbons (in the middle of a messy […]
from Time Magazine we have an article titled Is Dobson’s Obama Hit Backfiring? It lists out the blowback Dobson has had from his comment. It looks like all he did was Help Obama. What an end, if we’ve reached the point where any statement by him only helps those he opposes. Quotes below the fold. […]
The Democratic candidates, the Democratic party, the netroots – all claim that while the Republican party does not provide the policies that most people want, that the Democratic party does. That voters are switching to the Democratic party because of what we offer. Except not. The actions of our candidates, the actions of our party […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) In a 5-4 ruling the Supreme Court of the United States struck down the provision popularly known as the “Millionaires Amendment”. (Ref. The News Hour) This was a case brought by New York Democrat Jack Davis who argued that it unfairly rewarded his opponent when he self funded his […]
We did the first round of our “Political Draft” in honor of April’s NFL Draft. Tonight is the NBA Draft, so we thought it would be a good time for Round 2. We took the top vote-getters (anybody who received more than 4 votes) from the first draft poll and put them in a poll […]
Welcome to part 5 of the series on Renewable Energy. This next installment could easily be a stand alone story, but I wanted to keep it in the context of the entire problem. (especially in light of the Supreme Court’s ruling reducing the penalty to Exxon for the Valdez oil spill – an average […]
The editorial board of The Denver Post thinks Colorado’s budget constraints need fixing, and offers encouragement for House Speaker Andrew Romanoff’s SAFE plan: The latest economic forecast from Gov. Bill Ritter’s office paints a fairly gloomy picture of state revenues over the next five years. Yet it also underscores the wisdom of a drive by […]
