(And before you give me a hard time about using Democrat, please explain to me what is democratic about moving away from a secret ballot to a ‘card check’ when union organizing). One of my far, far left buddies was trying to find a metaphor for the Bush Presidency and said it was like a […]
On the left, Westword gave its 2008 “Best of” in this category to: Best Political Spinner – Left (2008) ProgressNow.org An outgrowth of the Rocky Mountain Progressive Network, ProgressNow.org and its sister site, ProgressNowAction.org, have been burrs under the conservative saddle for several years, and if Michael Huttner and his cohorts have their way, the […]
(It looks like Iraq is moving into a phase of heavy fighting – and so it will now impact all of our federal elections big-time. – promoted by DavidThi808) Whether you think the Iraq war was the biggest foreign policy blunder since the war of 1812 or not, examining the operation in Basra has value […]
The plot thickens now that Jeff Crank has hired one of Colorado’s dirtiest politicians as his new campaign manager. Why do I consider Alan Philp as one of the dirtiest politicians in Colorado? Why do I consider Alan Philp a man with no moral compass? Just look at his documented track record. 1) Alan […]
Good morning class. Settle down and consider this math for the superdelegates: http://tpmcafe.talkingpointsme… Answer in advance: To reach the Magic Number, Obama needs ABOUT 75 more supers than are committed now; HRC needs ABOUT 200 more. Any gamblers out there wanna take a long shot? Bonus Update: Obama 50% Clinton 42% (Gallup. http://www.gallup.com ; click […]
Standing on the podium last week with fellow progressive Democrats running for U.S. Congress, introducing our plan to end the war in Iraq, was both exciting and solemn; inspiring because we have a plan that offers hope both at home and abroad, but solemn because of the massive toll that includes the 4,000 U.S. troops […]
Maybe you saw yesterday’s “spend” diary by GOPPundit complaining – get this – about a $5m increase to a $17.6B budget. Using that famous fuzzy math, he figures that equals $4,000 per Colorado citizen. (I think with a population of over 3 million, that’s more like $1.50 per person. Think you can give up one […]
As the Rocky Mountain News reports: Republican U.S. Senate candidate Bob Schaffer will appear today in Denver with John McCain, the GOP presidential candidate that he indirectly dissed a year ago on a local TV show. Schaffer said he disagreed with some GOP presidential candidates’ views, and had to consider the possibility of running for […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) For a candidate whose entire argument for winning the primary now relies upon the superdelegates overturning the popular and pledged delegates votes, this is not good news for Senator Clinton: At a time when Sen. Hillary Clinton is increasingly relying on superdelegates to vault her to the Democratic Party’s […]
( – promoted by Haners) Dear American Republican brothers and sisters, I know that you totally disagree with many things that raving Liberals like myself believe in. But I am asking myself right now, “What the hell am I doing in the Democratic Party?” I see the Clinton’s, who I used to respect, totally […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) [With a couple of late updates–Thanks Pols!] In addition to helping the oil and gas industry spread rumor and threat about the economic havoc they are willing to visit on Colorado should the state implement some changes to how the industry operates here, CO’s Senate Republicans are moving to […]
Not that this is a surprise, but at least somebody thinks Rep. Doug Lamborn is doing a good job. From a press release: Today, the Club for Growth PAC endorsed Republican Congressman Doug Lamborn in Colorado’s Fifth Congressional District. Rep. Doug Lamborn has one of the best voting records in the House of Representatives, voting […]
If Bill Richardson is “Judas,” as political operative James Carville has called him for supporting Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton, that would make Hillary… No. Good God. That’s too unbelievable a metaphor for me to even get my brain around. http://trailblazersblog.dallas…
( – promoted by Haners) Okay the title doesn’t match the story perfectly but it’s an ode to DavidThi and his “Sucks to be a Republican” diary entry. (One of these days, David, we should get a beer together). A friend of mine just forwarded this story to me and I am quite impressed with […]
Ok, Will charged Jared with incomplete donor filings. Jared raised Will with fradulent donor filings. Now Will raises Jared with stealing their donor list and violating the CANSPAM act. It has come to our attention that you may be receiving unsolicited emails from the Jared Polis campaign. We believe their campaign may have illegally obtained […]
The DCCC has released it’s list of targeted races for the 2008 election and our own Marilyn Musgrave once again is on the list. The list has 59 Republican held seats plus 31 Democratic held ones that they want to keep. Needless to say, they can’t pour money into 90 races. So I would say […]
From Huffington Post Sean Hannity Confronted Over His Relationship With Neo-Nazi Hal Turner. The folks over at NewsHounds have been watching their Fox News Channel quarry dither over Senator Barack Obama’s associations with pastor Jeremiah Wright, and noted Fox’s own Sean Hannity getting himself tripped up in the guilt-by-association tango. Seems that one of Hannity’s […]
In case you were wondering, Here’s How. Sundays Colorado Springs Gazette – Letters THE GOOD FIGHT Bruce alone in his struggle to rein in big government When Americans are asked who they respect and trust least, politicians, lawyers and members of the major media always slide off the tongue easily. They become successful by […]
I just got this e-mail from the Lois Court for HD-6 campaign. Apparently, Tom Russell, who withdrew this week from the campaign to replace Andrew Romanoff, has endorsed Lois. Full text of the endorsement after the bump. Earlier this week, I withdrew from the District 6 race. My plan was to get out of politics […]
Form The Denver Post This should be no surprise, we’re in another Bush recession (wow – 2 of them now – he must be so proud). That means state revenues are down and expenses are rising. The legislative budget office released the estimate Thursday, saying the state will be $700 million short of previous projections […]
Story behind the story: The Clinton myth By: Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen March 21, 2008 One big fact has largely been lost in the recent coverage of the Democratic presidential race: Hillary Rodham Clinton has virtually no chance of winning. Her own campaign acknowledges there is no way that she will finish ahead in […]
Richardson Endorses Obama By JEFF ZELENY and PATRICK HEALY Published: March 21, 2008 Gov. Bill Richardson of New Mexico, who sought to become the nation’s first Hispanic president this year, plans to endorse Senator Barack Obama for the Democratic nomination on Friday at a campaign event in Oregon. Joshua Lott for The New York Times […]
From the Boulder Daily Camera we have: Denver just announced the results of their drawing and apparently a fair shake is not sufficient for some groups. Denver could face a “dangerous situation” on the first day of the Democratic National Convention, war protesters said Thursday, after losing a coveted permit for Civic Center to the […]
OK let’s review. Last Spring, Bush said their was no recession. This summer, ‘a few bumps in the road’ – this fall, “Stormy weather”, now, well their might be a depression, but my tax break will fix it. My opinion of these changes reflect that there is indeed a serious recession and possible depression occurring, […]
Last night, the Colorado Springs Women’s Republican Club sponsored a candidate forum for 5th Congressional District Candidates. General Bentley Rayburn and Jeff Crank attended. Much like my recent post about the county assembly, I would like to offer some general information followed by what I view as the winners and losers of the debate/forum. The […]
