What’s Wrong with the Colorado GOP?

by Bob Adelmann | 1:18 am, March 7, 2013

by Bob Adelmann John Ransom thinks he knows. He’s been inside the beast and the picture isn’t pretty.  Ransom used to be active in Colorado politics and knows personally both aspirants to become chairman of the state’s GOP. He likes them both, and considers each of them friends. But friends is friends and business is [...]

If Crossroads GPS Does What It Says It Will, More Power to Them

by Eileen | 8:56 am, February 11, 2013

Crossroads GPS, Karl Rove’s gig, has a new project aimed at strategically targeting money to key races in order to prevent unelectable Republicans from winning primaries – the Conservative Victory Project.  ‘Bout damn time.  I, for one, am pleased to see Karl has moved on from pitching temper tantrums on air. Electoral politics are not [...]

Tea Party, Act II

by T.L. James | 12:44 pm, December 2, 2012

The interview with Grover Norquist over at Breitbart.com has been getting a lot of attention over the past few days, mainly for Norquist’s prediction that a second Tea Party wave is coming. Professor Jacobson jumps on the bandwagon: The first Tea Party wave was a threat to Democratic control of Congress, and the response was [...]

Tea Party Accepts IRS Tax Exemption, Then Complains of IRS Intrusion

by Bob Adelmann | 11:42 am, April 13, 2012

You sleep with big dogs, you get big fleas. I never could figure out why Tea Party (allegedly pro-freedom) groups would consider, even for a moment, asking the IRS to grant them a tax exemption. What are they thinking? Am I missing something here?

Tea Partiers Ask: “Should Tancredo Get a ‘Free Pass’?”

Patrick Henry

by Al Maurer | 10:04 am, June 26, 2010

Today I’m at the El Paso County Tea Party, so I have a guest blogger: Patrick Henry. I took the Facebook test “Which Founding Father are you most like?” and he was it. I don’t have his skill at oratory, nor at writing so it’s his turn. The first words may not be familiar but [...]

Advice to Tea Parties

by Al Maurer | 11:55 am, June 23, 2010

Things are getting tough. In the last week the Northern Colorado Tea Party was criticized for inviting then dis-inviting Representative Steve King from Iowa to speak at their “Remember November” event. Some remarks he made  just a few days before made him too hot a property from them and for the campaign of Republican Cory [...]

Elbert County Tea Party

by Al Maurer | 8:54 pm, June 19, 2010

I was at the Elbert County Tea Party this Saturday, getting signatures for the Freedom From Healthcare petition. It was a great opportunity and we collected around 250 signatures. Colorado Attorney General Suthers spoke first, explaining how bad Obamacare is: not only for health care in general, but also for the unprecedented intrusion and control [...]

Tea Party To Do List

by Al Maurer | 12:13 pm, June 11, 2010

OK, we’re off the couches and instead of yelling at the TV, we’ve faxed, phoned, emailed and protested. So far, no joy. Time to take it to the next level. Someone who I admire is Karin Hoffman of DC Works for Us: another one of those awesome conservative women I mentioned yesterday. Here’s what she [...]

The GOP and the Tea Parties

by Al Maurer | 12:03 pm, June 10, 2010

The establishment media is at it again, calling the winners of yesterday’s primaries “Tea Party candidates.” As Fox News more correctly described Sharon Angle, though, “she’s a staunch conservative Republican state assemblywoman.” Much as the media is trying to paint the Tea Party movement as a political party, it remains a movement and a movement [...]
