( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Yesterday, SEIU released a report (PDF) on rising health care costs and the value of reform in Colorado. The facts speak for themselves – in a state like Colorado, health care reform is not just about improving the health and safety of Americans, it’s also a bottom-line, balance sheet […]
( – promoted by redstateblues) Wondering why, your intrepid reporter hit the streets of Colorado Springs to ask why we were still there. . First respondent: “We have to win this one, or else. If we don’t beat them overseas, it won’t be long before the communists islamofascists are invading this country and forcing all […]
Last Week, Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar made a bold proclamation about wind energy. “The idea that wind energy has the potential to replace most of our coal-burning power today is a very real possibility…It is not technology that is pie-in-the sky; it is here and now.” Wow, that is good to hear. But […]
A blog by Stanley Fish, on the NYT, reviews Churchill’s academic crimes and misdemeanors in another light at http://fish.blogs.nytimes.com/… Maybe Churchill’s real offense was to reveal some heretofore hidden qualities of the CU faculty. In any case, how often does CU get to perform on a national stage?
Should we be praising or cursing our Moderate Senators (like CO’s Bennet) for their no vote on Cap and Trade? Are they being smart and diplomatic or blocking the President’s agenda? This is the set of questions and opinions being tossed around. But there is something we are missing in the equation. this If people […]
(A cautionary meta-tale – promoted by Colorado Pols) Why do I ask, you say? Let’s start with who is missing from what is commonly called by the MSM the “progressive voice” of the liberal wing of the Democratic Party. John Cusack: Began posting May 2008. Last posted on June 20, 2008. Now blogs at Huffington […]
When US Attorney Troy Eid decided not to prosecute three men who said they were going to assassinate Senator Obama during the Democratic National Convention here in Denver, some people wondered if Eid had biased his decision. Considering Eid’s background and history, it wasn’t surprising. Eid’s appointment was, if you’ll remember, controversial. He had lobbying […]
Over 1.3 million new low-income, minority, and young Americans registered nationwide! Yesterday, as voter registration deadlines passed in most states, Project Vote, the nation’s leading nonpartisan voter participation organization, and the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), the country’s largest community organization, held a news conference to announce the completion of a joint […]
The Bailout: Why Are President Bush and the Democrats Working Against Congressional Republicans? In Washington, it’s a showdown between the representatives of Wall Street and the representatives of Main Street. But have you noticed that the old partisan alliances are reversed? It’s the Democrats who are now the Wall Street Party. And Republicans-with the conspicuous […]
Wow. Some other gems… Party elders also believe the Obama camp is in denial about warnings from Democratic pollsters that his true standing is four to six points lower than that in published polls because of hidden racism from voters – something that would put him a long way behind Mr McCain. He rammed home […]
From the Colorado for Obama blog. Today marks the 88th anniversary of women’s suffrage. In honor of that and all the incredible ways women have been transforming politics, we are dedicating the day to women and issues that are important to us. We started this morning with a women’s economic round table, where Michelle and […]
Obama fans should read this info, because Americans will be deciding whether they want their next president to be the son of a Communist. IBDEditorials.com says Obama’s attacks on Corsi’s ‘Obama Nation’ are backfiring: Link is here. http://ibdeditorials.com/IBDAr… Obama, for example, for the first time has acknowledged that the mysterious “Frank” in his 1995 autobiography, […]
Note: Steve emailed me his post and asked me to post for him. 27-year veteran and Colonel of Marines, defending America’s security in Iraq, Afghanistan, the Pentagon and elsewhere around the globe. Easily the most substantive experience in national security and defense of any candidate in this race. Strong legislative record in the Senate – […]
Here’s a thread about Colorado’s legislature. Does the Colorado senate have a senator as hard left and focused on racial issues as Sen. Obama was when he was in the Illinois Senate? The Weekly Standard reports on Obama’s hidden career in Illinois here (warning, some literacy required): http://www.weeklystandard.com/… Multi vote poll.
Yes, it is true. As you read below, an exerpt from Dr.Leroy Vaughn, allow me to give it more power. My nephew, a bi-raicial offspring, has blond hair and green eyes. If he so chose, he would never have to say he is black. He has as much Black in him as I do. My […]
Yesterday, we talked about how local politics can create a change in the way our cities and even states use energy, so much so, that we can change the policy of the utility companies themselves. AnotherMassachusettsLiberal commented on an interesting program in his community,called ‘Green Start’ and described it like this : I pay extra […]
Welcome to Part 2: Local Energy Initiatives: This will cover some of the ways citizens have gotten involved in passing laws to change their options for energy use, effectively giving a level playing field fo renewable energy. Now, although this post seems to be Colorado focused, the fact is, in part due to the location […]
This past week there has been a lot of talk from both Bush and McCain about the necessity for the Congress to start permitting new drilling sites for Oil companies in the face of high oil prices, as seen in this video from the BBC, even though there is plenty of evidence that the real […]
From Mike Stark at HuffPo Lets jump to the meat of the conversation between Mike Stark and John McCain: Stark: “Well have you always been faithful to Cindy McCain?” Deer-in-the-mother-fucking-headlights. McCain: “Oh no… that’s not what I’m going to talk about.” Stark: “Have you been faithful to your wife? You won’t answer? C’mon – how […]
( – 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 […]
Betsy McCaughey’s article in The New Republic took Hillary Clinton’s 1993 health insurance plan apart so decisively that it never recovered. Now, she’s published questions for Clinton and Obama about their health care plans. The questions probably won’t be asked at Thursday’s debate, but why not have Jared and Joan give their answers here? These […]
Jeff Crank wants to ban members of congress from inserting Earmarks for anyone the member has ever accepted a campaign contribution from. For once I agree with Crank. But why stop there. Why not just require Earmarks be publicly disclosed in advance, or voted on line item, or allow the president a line item veto […]
The Denver Post examines the latest weapon in the arsenal of campaign consultants: The 501(c)4: …as federal regulators have tried to clamp down on 527’s – the independent group of choice in the last two campaign cycles, named for the tax code under which they file – a new variant is fast gaining popularity: a […]
A handful of Trancredoites on this site would like us to believe that his campaign against immigrants (now conflated with fear of foreign terrorists) isn’t fueled at its core by racism. One reader of ColoradoPols has advised me to check out the FACTS instead of “throwing around” the term racism. Fine. Here are the facts: […]
Finally tonight, as promised, a Special Comment on the meaning of the story of former U.S. Acting Assistant Attorney General Daniel Levin. It is a fact startling in its cynical simplicity and it requires cynical and simple words to be properly expressed: The presidency of George W. Bush has now devolved into a criminal conspiracy […]
