by RMR | 12:03 am, September 30, 2010

With Dan Maes sinking to an all-time low of 15% in the latest polling from Fox News, it’s important to put in perspective just how low these numbers are. Here are a few fun statistics from public polling on other subjects:

If Dan Maes’ angry declarations that he will stay in the race, constant claims that his ethical problems are non-issues, and insistence that we all need to stop focusing on his past and instead on his future plans all seems oddly familiar; that’s becau…

One of the largest question marks as we approach the August 10th primary in Colorado is just how many votes will be cast. We can get some idea of the scale of this election by examining the last major contested primary in the state as well as data f…

As Ed Perlmutter suddenly finds himself at a cash disadvantage, he is turning to the time-honored tradition among endangered Congresscritters of franking. Nothing like gouging the taxpayer to push out some free mailings (complete with a union print sho…

Liberal State Rep. Speaks His Mind About Evil, Colorado-hating Businesses

by RMR | 6:22 pm, February 16, 2010

 Liberal State Rep. Jack Pommer (D), fresh on the heels of a meltdown last week in a house committee, has now gone "off message" once again. In a rare moment of honesty, Pommer says what he really thinks about businesses – they are all out to swindle hard-working Coloradans and flee the state.

When the proletariat rise up against the capitalist pigs you can bet that Jack Pommer will be right there, AK-47 and bowie knife in hand, leading the glorious charge.

John Hickenlooper’s Flip-Flop on Global Warming

by RMR | 10:37 am, February 12, 2010

John Hickenlooper’s view on a variety of major issues are suddenly shifting now that he’s a declared candidate for Governor. While far-left 527s might want to make hay about Scott McInnis’ "makeover" (AKA ‘a shave’), they are simply attempting to distract from John Hickenlooper’s makeover on the issues. Several days ago, "bi-partisan gubernatorial candidate" Hickenlooper declared to a crowd of oil and mining executives that he believes there is no consensus on global warming and that it might not be that severe (if it exists at all):

“I don’t think that the scientific community has decided with certainty that climate change is as catastrophic as so many people think,” said Hickenlooper, a former geologist in the energy industry. 

He likened the discussion over climate change to when the scientific community as a whole turned on the issue of plate tectonics in the 1960s.

“Suddenly what was the standard accepted dogma of the field, was suddenly discredited,” he said. “So, my thinking with climate change is I can’t tell you, I don’t think anyone can tell you for sure if the climate is changing that fast, and certainly, in a snow storm like this, you have to look at it with a little bit of skepticism.” (Denver Daily News)

Contrast that statement with liberal Democrat Mayor Hickenlooper’s statements only a few months ago while attending the Copenhagan conference on climate change:

Global warming skeptics out there, take note: Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper is looking to change your mind.

The city’s chief executive is in Copenhagen, Denmark this week for the world’s climate change conference and says the evidence he’s seen from scientists across the world is "shocking."

"It’s pretty compelling," the mayor said by phone on Tuesday morning. "It really does make you say, ‘Gosh, I know it’s going to be hard. It’s going to be unpopular [to change].’ My takeaway is I want to come back to Denver and sit down with every skeptic I can find and just walk them through all the evidence." (9 News)

You can’t have it both ways, John.
