Unable to mount a halfway-serious challenge to Mayor Hickey, how are we to stop the bastard now?

by Eileen McGuire-Mahony | 8:56 pm, November 3, 2010

Political Breath’s first post-election tid-bit comes, oddly enough, courtesy of a friend’s FaceBook post.  We saw a comment to the effect that Hickenlooper won’t know what hit him once Colorado’s Tea Parties show up. Pardon? The same Tea Party groups who have an irksome habit of not vetting their candidates for major office?  The ones [...]

Protect Our Culture?

by Elliot Fladen | 4:57 am, October 14, 2010

Just out of curiosity, why is it ok to have regulation for the purposes of protecting our culture when it comes to immigration, but not ok when it comes to government funding of art?  Both seem rather collectivist to me.

The Cyberbullying of Gay Youth

by Julian Dunraven | 4:03 pm, October 13, 2010

Of particular interest is the relatively recent phenomenon of cyberbullying . . . The Post cited several methods of addressing this problem, ranging from additional tolerance education and awareness programs to school administrative punishments to new legislation criminalizing cyberbullying. Such legalistic outcomes, however, would render an already tragic situation truly ghastly.

Leaders Lead. Tom Tancredo, a leader called to action.

by ismith | 8:53 am, September 9, 2010

Over the weekend I attended a Tancredo for Governor Campaign Kickoff event.  The event was held at Pat Miller’s (Tancredo’s selection for Lieutenant Governor) house. Approximately 130 people showed up to support Tancredo’s run for Governor.  In addition there were two camera crews from local stations as well as about four print reporters.   The event brought together [...]

Tom Tancredo – Not a Free Market Conservative Before He Was Not a Republican

by Elliot Fladen | 10:38 pm, July 24, 2010

Tom Tancredo is threatening to enter the governor’s race, ostensibly to ensure that a conservative will hold the seat instead of a liberal democrat.  The problem is that not only will Tancredo’s threatened actions, if he carries through with them, almost undoubtedly ensure that Hickenlooper will be our governor for the next 4 years, but even if [...]

by elpresidente | 7:51 pm, May 12, 2010

The end of the 2010 session of the Colorado legislature is upon us. Kelly Maher of WhoSaidYouSaid says it’s time to assess the damage. Brad Jones of the newly relaunched Face the State has links to FTS 2008 and 2009 session wrap-ups and asks “When ProgressNow disses the GOP, does it matter?” The legislature is [...]

Denver Tax Day Tea Party 2010: Wrap-Up Report

by T.L. James | 10:34 pm, April 15, 2010

Some short notes on the 2010 Denver Tax Day Tea Party, along with some more media items: The crowd reports I’ve seen so far put the attendance in the 2000+ range. This seems to be a bit low, based on what I saw and on experience from previous rallies. Plus, this doesn’t account for the [...]
