I’m going to name three political figures, and you tell me how they became embroiled in mini-media frenzies over digitally altered images or websites. Marc Holtzman Scott McInnis Andrew Romanoff Here are the answers: GOP gubernatorial candidate Marc Holtzman’s photo was altered in 2006 to make him look taller than Reagan. GOP gubernatorial candidate McInnis’ […]
– access to birth control is like Hitler and genocide and euthanasia – President should enforce imaginary anti porn law – gas prices up (from supply and demand): It’s Obama’s fault! – S&P/DJIA/NASDAQ up (recession is ended – see “demand” problem above): It’s because of breaking a union – Re-nig? Really? How does this count […]
AP via 9NEWS, the story today on every channel: U.S. employers added 227,000 jobs in February to complete three of the best months of hiring since the recession began. The unemployment rate was unchanged, largely because more people streamed into the work force. The Labor Department said Friday that the unemployment rate stayed at 8.3 […]
As the Colorado Independent’s John Tomasic reports: “I really have no idea what he is talking about,” Republican Mesa County Clerk and Recorder Sheila Reiner told the Colorado Independent. Reiner was referring to allegations made again recently by Secretary of State Scott Gessler that non-citizens are registered to vote in the state. Reiner said she […]
We’ve been talking for some time–longer, we realize, than some of our better-placed readers would prefer–about the recent passage of legislation in the Colorado General Assembly implementing a 22% raise in the daily per diem compensation paid to legislators representing districts outside Denver. As we’ve reported, passage of this in-effect pay increase for 41 of […]
(Translation: Mitt Romney needs to not be Mitt Romney anymore? Go figure – promoted by Colorado Pols) Mike Coffman appeared on KNUS’ morning show, Kelley and Company, yesterday, and he came out swinging at Mitt Romney, saying that Romney “needs to have a more conservative message that appeals to the base of the Republican Party,” […]
To Democrats, moderates, progressives, liberals and independents, i.e. 60% of America; it is, indeed, a confusing political time. While many of us want Obama to win re-election, most of us concede that any incumbent President running for re-election with 8.5% unemployment is highly vulnerable and likely to be defeated. So it just seems weird that […]

( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Should polls turn out to be right, and Newt wins the South Carolina GOP primary, what then? Like the proverbial dog that is surprised to finally catch the firetruck, will Newt have a clue how to transform his apparent speaking/book tour into a real campaign for the Presidency? […]
Politico–relax, it’s not plagiarism (that we know of): Mitt Romney said at Thursday’s debate he’ll release his tax returns in April – but the booing that drew suggests Republican primary voters don’t appear willing to wait. It’s not that they have problems with his record at Bain Capital – Romney has effectively neutralized many of […]
(As long as nobody’s actually glowing… – promoted by Colorado Pols) Rep. Scott Tipton said in a radio interview last week that Japan’s Fukushima nuclear reactors “held up reasonably well” after being struck by an earthquake and Tsunami. So they could have been flattened, yes. But did they really hold up reasonably well? It’s widely […]
‘Tis the season! As Tom Lehrer put it: “It’s always seemed to me, after all, that Christmas, with its spirit of giving, offers us all a wonderful opportunity each year to reflect upon what we all most sincerely and deeply believe in. I refer, of course, to money.” So: what’s the most effective fund-raising ask […]
For months, I’ve been begging reporters to ask Secretary of State Scott Gessler for evidence when he claims there’s actual, real-life, happening-now election fraud in Colorado. Reporters should also show Gessler evidence when he makes claims that contradict facts that are admittedly obscure but should be known inside and out by the Secretary of State. […]
UPDATE: The Colorado Supreme Court has moved the deadline for filing briefs up to Thursday. —– The Durango Herald’s Joe Hanel updates today: Colorado Republicans are furious at the chairman of a commission that voted Tuesday to draw state legislative districts in a way that greatly benefits Democrats. Mario Carrera, the lone unaffiliated voter on […]
Passing this along to the list – Please forward to anyone who you think would like to submit an essay. http://adaedfund.org/2011/11/w… Americans for Democratic Action Education Fund is preparing to host the 3rd annual “What Would Martin Do?” panel discussion. A diverse panel of progressive leaders will share their thoughts on how Dr. Martin Luther […]
The Colorado Independent’s Scot Kersgaard: “if we keep talking about the economy, we’re going to lose.” With those words, Mitt Romney launches an ad campaign against President Obama. In the already famous ad, Romney uses video of Obama saying “if we keep talking about the economy, we’re going to lose.” What the ad doesn’t tell […]
How about that foreign policy debate last night? CNN’s Peter Hamby recaps: Perry answered several questions with confidence. He drove the discussion on foreign aid commitments when he said he would zero out all foreign aid and start again from scratch, including close ally Israel. Plus, he stole the show when he made a discussion […]
Last Friday, we noted a story from the Pueblo Chieftain’s Peter Roper that struck us with its misdirections and questionable conclusions–as you know, the rate of ballots returned by “inactive-failed to vote” voters this year was substantially higher statewide than in prior years, and in Pueblo County, the percentage of these ballots returned by “inactive” […]
Hi all; Big favor to ask. Anyone who has run numbers for a large campaign, say Governor, U.S. Congress, or an expensive state race – can you please tell me what functionality you need in a Business Intelligence tool? We are seriously considering creating a general B.I. tool and I want to make sure it […]
Throughout the history of civilization we have come up with “natural” civil rights that we believe are self-evident. But these rights are not self-evident. If they were, society would have been enshrining them in law 2,000 years ago. When our country was founded it enshrined the civil rights that society at that time believed constituted […]
We get a lot of press releases here at Colorado Pols, but this is the first we can remember that involved gypsies. Naturally, we had to post it. From the Colorado Attorney General’s office: Attorney General announces indictment of self-proclaimed gypsies suspected of burglarizing the homes of elderly Coloradans Colorado Attorney General John Suthers announced […]
That would be, according to this report from Lynn Bartels of the Denver paper’s blog this weekend, straight-up, bare-knuckles, in-your-face partisan objectives. And control of the elections. Bartels has a lengthy excerpt of Scott Gessler’s remarks at the GOP Capitol Club’s luncheon last week in her blog post–here are just a couple of nuggets that […]
“There is no honor in this. Why are you hurting innocent people! These are Americans, how do you sleep at night! I won’t let you hurt these people! If you want to be tough and kill unarmed people go to war in Iraq! What is wrong with you, you are sworn to protect us not […]
from The Great Stagnation: How America Ate All The Low-Hanging Fruit of Modern History,Got Sick, and Will (Eventually) Feel Better For healthcare, insurance coverage may not improve anything: The famous RAND Corporation study of the 1970s gave thousands of Americans 100 percent free medical care, while the control group had to face insurance co-payments for […]
(Accidentally dumped PCG’s promotion, restored – promoted by Colorado Pols) It’s difficult to understand who Occupy Movement protesters are, and what they want, simply by watching main stream media coverage of their events. I spent some time with the Occupy movement in Colorado, to find out who they are, why they are demonstrating, and what […]
