Tancredo: Politics as Usual Candidate

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.

Support the candidates who support our values

by Al Maurer | 12:05 pm, September 7, 2010

The title was my concluding thought in my June 8 post, Tea Party Endorsements. The post was about whether Tea Party groups should endorse candidates or not. They should. That post continues to get a lot of hits. In fact, if you google the phrase that post, via the Peoples Press Collective, comes up in [...]

Tancredo Aims to be the Colorado Crist

by Al Maurer | 11:20 am, July 28, 2010

Everyone knows that by running a third party ticket, Ross Perot gave us Bill Clinton and Teddy Roosevelt gave us Woodrow Wilson. Compelling as those third party candidates were, all they did was split the conservative vote. The last time a third party managed a win on a national scale was Abraham Lincoln in 1860 [...]

Political Motivations

by Al Maurer | 11:36 am, July 20, 2010

Last week I wrote some posts about faulty logic in political discourse and yesterday I wrote about some of the fallout of Scott McInnis’ plagiarism. Some are saying that it is no different than the fine Dan paid over his finance reporting. Let’s see. The story of Maes’ finance errors was reported by Leslie Jorgensen [...]

Tempest over a Teapot

by Al Maurer | 11:30 am, July 19, 2010

There has been a lot of hand-wringing this week in the Republican camp over the revelation of plagiarism by Scott McInnis. The facts are pretty well known: McInnis took $300,000 from the Hasan Family Foundation in return for some Musings on Water. That’s a lot of money for the amount of material he produced but [...]

Dan Maes for Governor!

by Al Maurer | 1:46 pm, July 17, 2010

I am pleased to have Don Rodger’s permission to post a slightly edited version of what he wrote in support of Dan Maes as the GOP gubernatorial candidate. I’ll have something to say on this topic as well, but Don says it very well indeed: Rasmussen has Hickenlooper and Maes within 2%, hardly “tanking”  in [...]

Tea Party Patriots Advice

by Al Maurer | 11:55 am, July 16, 2010

I received this press release from Tea Party Patriots on Wednesday and think it is worth printing in full: Washington – Tea Party Patriots, the nation’s largest Tea Party organization with more than 2,000 affiliates, today offered the President and the Democratic Party advice on how they can halt their well-documented free-fall in national public [...]

Contested Primaries

They think they’re wasting their money on primaries; they’re not.

Petitioning on to the ballot

by Al Maurer | 10:42 am, June 12, 2010

Yesterday the Colorado Secretary of State’s office confirmed that Joe G “The Stealth Candidate” for governor had failed to collect enough valid signatures to get on the GOP primary ballot for governor. To bypass the assembly process and petition on the ballot, a candidate needs a certain number of signatures in each district relevant to [...]
