Here’s a radio ad airing in Colorado Springs (details of ad buy not released) in response to a $100,000 TV and radio buy slamming Bob Schaffer. The ad, paid for by the El Paso County Republican Party, takes issue with outsiders running negative ads “designed to make a good man look bad.” (Thanks to PolitickerCO […]
I received an email about an hour ago from the El Paso County Republicans: EL PASO COUNTY, CO REPUBLICANS PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 5-15-08 The El Paso County Republicans went on air Wednesday with a strong radio commercial squaring off against radio ads by a 527 Group heavily backed by the liberal George Soros. […]
In reporting McCain’s projection that “most” American troops would be home by 2013, McCain is quoted today as saying that by the end of his first term “the Iraq War has been won.” At the risk of being repetitious and boring, I can think of no more dangerous, misleading, and damaging phrase than “the Iraq […]
We have a huge opportunity this year to turn Colorado into a very blue state. We can elect a wonderful woman, a progressive by both values and political beliefs, and we can defeat Marilyn Musgrave. Defeat Marilyn? Yes We Can! It takes a fabulous candidate, in the name of Betsy Markey, and hard work […]
The warming that allowed the Vikings to farm in Greenland 1,000 years ago was surely natural. But we are now told that warming in Greenland today is surely manmade. Glaciers retreating in western Canada have revealed evidence of previous forests, showing that warming and cooling cycles do indeed occur, even without SUVs. Yet the SUV […]
(Told you so – promoted by Colorado Pols) According to a recent news article Huckabee is one of the top choices for VP. Mike Huckabee, the former governor of Arkansas and defeated contender for the GOP presidential nomination, is currently at the top of John McCain’s short list for a running mate. At least that’s […]
The end-of-session posturing continued over the weekend with an inspiring op-ed in The Denver Post from Republican legislative leaders, Sen. Andy McElhany and Rep. Mike May. But a diatribe that was framed as how Democrats talked and didn’t deliver was oddly devoid of anything itself: In the 2008 legislative session, it was not the ruling […]
So does that mean that McCain supports the repressive Junta of Burma? The one that is killing the people of Burma by not letting aid in. Everytime McCain brings up Hamas, he needs to explain why Burma is paying his campaign staffers. Does that Burma supports the election of McCain? Of course not. Lobbyiests support […]
( – promoted by Haners) SALEM, Ore. – Some English-speaking firefighters are losing their jobs because of an Oregon state law that requires them to be bilingual. The Department of Forestry enacted a law three years ago that requires them to be bilingual, but this year they’re actually enforcing it. 2002 was such a devastating […]
I’ve never done any favors for anybody – lobbyist or special interest group – that’s a clear, 24-year record. – John McCain The New York Times and the Washington Post reported McCain’s abuse of power in the Senate to broker land deals for his big money friends who have an undue influence with him. Sen. […]
I just received the Fitz-Gerald press release about the Convention results. It definitely follows the “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade” line of thought. To date I have viewed all three candidates as very good candidates and I would be happy with any of them in office. I prefer Jared but I don’t dislike […]
Dan on the grocery bill, ethanol, ANWAR, and other Liberal boondoggles It is the first of the month and as is her habit, my wife, Rocky, went to the grocery to do her “stock-up” shopping. As the term implies, this is when we do the majority of our grocery and necessity shopping. We will do […]
I saw an interesting article today on PolitickerCo… Dueling Crank, Rayburn polls show each in second place By Jeremy Pelzer Who’s Doug Lamborn’s worst nightmare in the CD-5 GOP primary? The answer depends on which opposition campaign you ask. The campaigns of Jeff Crank and Bentley Rayburn each released polls this week showing their candidate […]
From the JedReport At this point, the public has heard more vetting of Obama than they ever wanted to hear. (Wright, Ayers, Rezko, Hamas, bowling, bitter, cling and did you know he’s African-American?) But there hasn’t been much about John McCain other than a weak story about his relationship with a female lobbyist. He’s got […]
You tell us — check out this “View From the Newsroom” blog entry from Grand Junction Sentinel editor Dennis Herzog: Newspaper editors and political reporters don’t need a calendar to tell them that it’s an even-numbered year. Even-numbered years are election years. We can tell that because those are the years when we get complaints […]
Republican Party Chair Dick Wadhams is really mad that he can’t get the press to do his bidding, so he’s resorted to bullying and threats in hopes of getting the media to pretend his candidate for Senate, Bob Schaffer, doesn’t have any warts at all. Wadhams and Schaffer shamelessly attacked and belittled a blog reporter […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) We’ve seen the “opinions” of some so-called reporters and op-ed writers, but I believe the Rocky did a relatively good job of breaking down the 2008 Democratic goals and results. I highlighted a few of my favorites. Looking back at the 2008 legislative session Here’s how Ritter and the […]
Warning this is long Much has been written about the ethical implications of Senator McCain’s involvement in the Keating 5 scandal where McCain attempted to influence a federal regulator at the Federal Home Loan Bank Board to ease off on the investigation of Charles Keating’s Lincoln Savings & Loan. McCain received over $100K from […]
I first met Neghin Sobhaini last year while doing an interview on the subject of Darfur. There I learned of her heritage as an Iranian American, and of her work in Iran with the U.N. When McCain started touring the country with Joe Lieberman and continued to hint at another War – this time with […]
UPDATE: Catholics United just sent a press release thanking President Bush for signing Marianas immigration reforms into law, and expressing relief that “the efforts of Bob Schaffer and Jack Abramoff to deny workers in the Northern Mariana Islands basic human dignity in the workplace did not prevail” (ouch). Release after the jump. You’ll recall that […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Here is a link to their radio ad. El Paso County Republicans are gathering support for a Lincoln Day Dinner fund-raiser. Last year was fun… this year should be good too. If you’re in the greater Colorado Springs area and you are of the conservative bent, you should come! […]
Susan Greene in the Denver Post says this term was a “do-nothing session.” She concludes with this powerful one-two punch: The Democratic majority ends its session tomorrow having punted on most of its priorities. Still, it has the nerve to whine about reporters (read Marter’s martyrlike rant about the veggies). If lawmakers want coverage of […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) I’ll admit, McSame isn’t the only one beating his/her chest over the Rev. Wright flap, but there is a difference between candidates here girls and boys. While Obama denounced the former pastor of his church for some of his controversial statements, McSame actively pursued the POLITICAL endorsement of this […]
Took a lil’ trip down Memory Lane tonight. Watched Mississippi Burning, about the murders of James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner on June 21, 1964 in Philadelphia, Mississippi. (You can watch it on Comcast’s Free Movies On Demand if you have that service.) Made me think about the Reverend Doctor Jeremiah. He’s old enough […]
(Moderate Mark has emerged from the witness protection program – and he’s kicking ass & taking names – promoted by DavidThi808) Rep. Mark Udall (D-CO), the presumptive Democratic nominee for the Senate in the energy-producing state of Colorado, issued this scathing statement in response to Hillary Clinton’s demand yesterday that all lawmakers support her pathetic, […]
