Words Matter: Anti-LGBTQ Rhetoric Starts New Call for Resignation of State Party Chairman

UPDATE: Do you hear the words coming out of your mouth?   Post by @kyleclark9news View on Threads   —– The Colorado Republican Party as we know it ended its life on May 21, 2024 when it issued a call to all Republicans to withdraw their children from public schools on account of a bonkers […]

Colorado GOP’s Call To Do Hate Crimes Meets Muffled Condemnation At Best

On Monday, the Colorado Republican Party sent out a blast mail to mark the beginning of Pride Month with an over-the-top serving of unvarnished anti-LGBTQ+ vitriol closely resembling the message of the infamous Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kansas, whose protests at the funerals of soldiers killed in action during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars […]

Big Business Playing Heavily in Democratic Senate Primary

Mike Weissman is not the kind of Democrat who should have much trouble winning election to the State Senate in 2024.  Weissman is running for the upper chamber in SD-28 (North Aurora) after serving four terms in the State House (HD-36), where he was elected and re-elected by an average margin of about 22 points. […]

Gabe-ish Evans Lands Trump Endorsement in CO-08

Republican State Rep. Gabe-ish Evans, who is hoping to defeat former State Rep. Janak Joshi in the Republican Primary Election in CO-08, picked up a boost on Monday from America’s most prominent porn star payoff-maker. That’s right: Evans has received the “Complete and Total Endorsement” from Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump. As Ernest Luning explains […]

Boebert’s Latest “Beetlejuice” Excuse Is A Major Disaster

  Last Thursday night, 9NEWS hosted a debate of the candidates vying to succeed retired Rep. Ken Buck in the June 25th GOP primary election, including carpetbagging Rep. Lauren Boebert–who as the nominal frontrunner in a race she seeks to win by a plurality instead of a majority was the principal target of attacks from […]

Republicans Lose Candidate in Targeted State House Race

Readers of Colorado Pols know that Colorado Republicans have no chance at taking back control of the State House of Representatives in 2024 (or, really, in 2026 or 2028). It’s unlikely that Republicans will even be able to dent the current 46-19 Democratic advantage in the House when ballots are counted in November, but they […]

Friday Updates: Donald Trump is a Convicted Felon

[NOTE: We’ll update this space to continue discussing Thursday’s historic verdict in New York that made Donald Trump the first former President in American history to become a convicted felon.] The verdict is in, and the whining has begun. —– He’s #1! He’s #1! —– As The Washington Post reports, Trump is getting an outpouring […]

BREAKING: Trump Found GUILTY on All Charges

UPDATE #2: Gov. Jared Polis responds: No one is above the law. Coloradans have faith in our justice system and the guilty convictions from a jury of his peers show the former President lacks the moral capacity to lead our country. Rep. Diana DeGette: The wheels of justice turn slowly, but they do turn. No […]

If You Lie Down with Trump, You’ll End up Orange

“Qui cum canibus concumbunt cum pulicibus surgent.” If you don’t speak Latin — and there’s really know reason you should — you might not recognize that this is a statement that should seem quite familiar. The English version is often attributed to Benjamin Franklin: “He that lieth down with dogs shall rise up with fleas.” […]

Jenna Ellis Finally Loses Colorado Law License–For Three Years

As 9NEWS reported yesterday evening, former 2020 coup plotter and member of Donald Trump’s “Elite Strike Force” legal team that sought to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election Jenna Ellis accepted a second disciplinary agreement from the Colorado Supreme Court Office of Attorney Regulation Counsel following Ellis’ guilty plea to a felony charge […]

Caption This: Ryan Armagost’s Man Cave Office

Republican State Rep. Ryan Armagost of Larimer County was one of the most valuable members of the Democratic caucus during the 2024 legislative session thanks to his uncanny ability to barf out half-baked talking points on issues such as the GOP’s perplexing attempt to impeach Secretary of State Jena Griswold. Armagost is also quite the […]

Congressman Joe Neguse Getting National Attention for “Meteoric Rise”

Colorado Rep. Joe Neguse (D-Boulderish) was first elected to Congress in 2018 and just turned 40 this month. His resume is already that of someone much older, and national news outlets are increasingly figuring out what Colorado has known for awhile now: Neguse is a rising star. Neguse was just 36-years-old when he served as […]

Tanc In The Tank For Ron Hanks

Ernest Luning of the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog reported over the weekend on an endorsement anyone could have predicted as the conservative freakroots of the Colorado Republican Party coalesce around the official party-endorsed slate in the upcoming June 25th primary: former presidential candidate and congressman Tom Tancredo, who defined the ragged outer limits of […]

Primary Election TV Ad Spending is Pretty Weak Thus Far

Political campaigns have always been a fascinating mix of art and science when it comes to figuring out how to both influence and catch the attention of potential voters. Honing a message and finding the right talking points can be a difficult process, though there are some decisions that should be easy (like not placing […]

Cause for Concern? Colorado’s Top Business Group Goes Dark Following Property Tax Deal

(After what Colorado Concern pulled, we wouldn’t want people to know our names, either — Promoted by Colorado Pols) In the 48 hours following the close of Colorado’s legislative session, the state’s most prominent business group, Colorado Concern, had a board member resign publicly while citing policy disagreements, and scrubbed the names of member companies and […]

Crow, White House Team Up To Rip Boebert Taking Credit For More Stuff She Voted Against

One of carpetbagging-for-dear-life Rep. Lauren Boebert’s most criticized habits in her going on four years in Congress representing the Western Slope has been her first-audacious and now doggedly insistent taking of credit with constituents in her soon-to-be former district for projects that Boebert voted against–the overwhelming majority of votes in her first term, and even […]

Reminder: Don’t Show Your Candidate Next to a Horse’s Ass!

Despite several challengers over the years, the owner of “Worst Political Ad in Modern Colorado History” has continued to hold that imaginary title since 2006. You know the one… That’s former Republican gubernatorial candidate Bob Beauprez, whose infamous 2006 campaign ad showed him talking to the camera while literally standing next to a horse’s ass. […]

Boebert Follows MTG Down Trump Assassination Rabbit Hole (UPDATED)

THURSDAY UPDATE: Oh, look! President Biden also attempted to kill…President Biden? This comes via a White House Correspondent for Fox News, no less: Perhaps now we can turn our attention to the next stupid thing from MAGAland. —– UPDATE: The ex-President leans in to the newest Big Lie: This feels like a very, very bad […]

Trump’s Third Reich Rhetoric is No Accident

Here’s a simple question: How many times in your life have you “accidentally” used language similar to the rhetoric familiar to Nazi Germany and the Third Reich? We’re guessing the most common answer would be “never.” Talking like a Nazi isn’t at all similar to mistakenly hitting “reply all” on an email. Heck, most people […]

Trump Hush Money Trial: The Defense Snoozes

As NBC News reports, the witness testimony phase of the criminal trial against former President Donald Trump for allegedly covering up a “hush money” payment to porn star Stormy Daniels is over, and closing arguments will get underway after the upcoming Memorial Day weekend: Judge Merchan explains that the jury won’t return to court until […]

Proponents of Anti-Trans Ballot Initiatives Falsely Claim ‘Furries’ Run Rampant in CO Public Schools, Biting and Scratching Other Students

(Catshit crazy? — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Rumors of furry-identified students using litterboxes in public schools have been thoroughly debunked. But that has not stopped anti-LGBTQ activists in Colorado from repeating the claims in an attempt to stir up outrage. “A lot of children now are identifying as a cat or dog or an animal,” […]

Tuesday Open Thread

“Patriotism is when love of your own people comes first; nationalism, when hate for people other than your own comes first.” –Charles de Gaulle

Ramey Johnson’s State House Campaign Epitomizes Colorado GOP in 2024

Republican “Zombie” Ramey Johnson has long been a recurring character in this space because of her seemingly never-ending quest to win election to something. Her sad sack 2024 campaign is her 11th such effort since 2000, which makes running for office more of a hobby than a serious undertaking… And that makes her the perfect […]

Janak Joshi is Having a Moment in CO-08

Janak Joshi is having himself a moment. The former state legislator from Colorado Springs is trying to make a political comeback in northern Colorado (CO-08), and he might just have a shot at pulling an upset in June. After just barely making it onto the ballot via the Republican congressional assembly process (literally by one […]

Marxists and Pedophiles: Republicans React to Legislative Session

(And bears, oh my! — Promoted by Colorado Pols) This story originally appeared on coloradotimesrecorder.com In media appearances and at townhall events, Colorado Republicans are reflecting on the recent legislative session which saw bills addressing housing, property taxes, and gun control. “Even being 19 Republicans to 46 Democrats in the House, we came in with […]
