by Al Maurer | 6:00 pm, September 14, 2010

All of Tancredo’s efforts have been aimed at attacking Maes. He’s the Charlie Crist of Colorado, unwilling to accept the judgment of his party’s voters–especially those upstart, grass-roots Tea Party activists–he’s decided to go out on his own.

Save Our Tree

In the field behind my house on the other side of the cattle fence were two Ponderosa pine trees infested with pine beetles. I asked the owner to cut them down; he wouldn’t. I asked the county to force him to cut them down; they couldn’t. Finally, I cut one of them down. But by [...]

A year ago on May 1, 2009 a Rasmussen poll reported that 69% of GOP voters thought the party was out of touch with their base. The report stated that the number had changed little from a survey just after election day 2008. On October 22, 2009, it was 73%. When is the party going [...]
