Ken Buck Comes Crawling Back To The Big Lie

One of the more surprising developments in the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election was the attempt by Colorado Republican Party chairman Rep.

Poll: 57% Of Colorado Republicans Win The Darwin Award

As the Colorado Sun’s Jesse Paul reports, acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccines now being administered by the thousands daily at long last in Colorado shows a stark partisan divide in a newly-completed poll–more so, to be frank, than we would have expected despite the well-earned cynical presumption many of our readers no doubt harbor: Getting […]

But if you thought Colorado Republicans might do a little soul-searching and try to figure out a […]
