Democrats and Republicans were unable to agree on new Congressional boundaries following the Census so Denver District Judge Robert Hyatt has done it for them.  Hyatt accepted a Democrat map that will drastically change the makeup of Colorado’s congressional districts. Update, 12/7/11 – Redistricting brings big changes, new congressmen to Thornton and Adams County Gerrymandering [...]

As the contenders line up to challenge Barack Obama in 2012 the media seems singularly focused on Sarah Palin and the question of whether or not she will run.  While no doubt even now readying to release a whole slew of lies again, the media’s pursuit of her has become comical to watch. When Palin [...]

The headline is of course a bit tongue in cheek as it isn’t particularly surprising that people would like to see our laws enforced.  What is surprising is when someone finds it odd that we should live by the law. Illegal immigration is certainly a hot button issue and neither Democrats nor Republicans really want [...]

I freely admit that President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address last night actually kind of gave me a warm and fuzzy feeling – at first.  Then it occurred to me that if his actions in the last half of his first term match up to the words he spoke last night, his reelection [...]

How many strikes until you’re out?  Despite repeated failures, state GOP chairman Dick Wadhams has announced he will seek a third term.  Many Republicans now are left wondering if they can withstand the continual slide left Colorado has seen under his leadership.  Since Wadhams took the helm of Colorado’s Republican Party in 2007, the state [...]

The economy and more specifically the national debt was a key factor in this past November’s elections.  The American people have grown weary of a government that refuses to live within its means, something which we all individually do.  Analysis of the national debt since Democrats took over the House of Representatives in 2007 provides [...]

To say Adams County “leans  left” would be a very accurate statement.  Registered Democrats outnumber Republicans by 11% of the electorate in the county – an advantage of nearly 25,000 people.  Despite this, the Adams County Democrats took a pretty big beating in Tuesday’s election. Before I discuss the various county races it should be [...]

As expected, voters across the nation offered a complete repudiation of President Barack Obama and the Democratic agenda.  Close to home Colorado voters proved to be tougher to predict and the state solidified itself as close to the center as one could be. On the national stage Republicans easily took control of the House of [...]

Today is Election Day and polls are starting to open across the nation as I type this.  There is little doubt that a counter-change to what Democrats brought us two years ago is afoot but one thing is certain – no matter which side of the aisle you are on, you need to vote. The [...]
