According to the Democratic Whip (Rep. Hoyer), the House will begin consideration of H.R. 5 tomorrow. This bill was recently renamed, but the essence remains the same: national medical malpractice reform. This issue has long been a Republican rallying cry, with Gardner and his buds crying about how it would reduce health costs nationwide. Without saying much more, I thought I should just point you to a past post by Gardner Path explaining that this will do nothing for...

Just as Cory Gardner considers the needs of his constituents as a secondary priority to his main focus of puckering up to the oil industry, for me this blog is a secondary priority to my main focuses in life (including paying work). I do apologize for the great delay in posting, but money is more important than providing the people of Colorado with information. Wait, that is Gardner’s motto too! We have a lot in common I guess. Well,...

With all of his grandstanding on the Keystone XL pipeline, one issue Cory Gardner has ignored completely is the fact that the oil companies are using eminent domain to take interests in farmland that sit in the path of the pipeline. Eminent domain is the power of a government to seize private property to put it to a public use providing compensation, but not requiring consent. While a state rep, Cory Gardner introduced two bills to stop eminent domain...

Today, the League of Conservation Voters released their annual National Environment Scorecard, which “reflects the most anti-environmental session of the U.S. House of Representatives in history.” Cory Gardner received a score of 11% from the group. Shockingly this pitiful score is not the lowest in the state, with Rep. Mike Coffman scoring 6% in 2011 and Doug Lamborn scoring a 9% for the year. To come up with its scoring, the LCV rated each House member’s votes on 35...

Last night, Brandon Shaffer’s campaign announced that he will, in fact, remain in the race against Cory Gardner for the 4th Congressional District of Colorado. From his release: I have represented this area in the State Senate for the past seven years. We have built many lasting, strong relationships in Northern Colorado. I’m not running for Congress just to seek political office; I’m running to represent the people. And the people I know best are those in Colorado’s 4th...

UPDATE 2/3/2012: Shaffer will stay on to fight Cory Gardner The Denver Post has an interesting article this morning, citing a Miklosi campaign consultant on Brandon Shaffer’s upcoming decision on whether he will run in the 4th or run in the 6th District. “It’s going to be two months next week that the maps...
The “news” so many of us read on the Internet is so much like the game of Telephone, where a secret is whispered from one person to another, but by the end has lost all connection to the original words. Luckily, it is usually still possible to look up the original sources of information...
Cory Gardner was recently “pleased to announce” that the National Park Service was looking at the Boggsville Historic area as a potential Unit for federal preservation. The site looks to be an important historic site, so I can’t fault the NPS for looking at it. But I have my doubts about whether Gardner should...
UPDATE 2/3/2012: Shaffer is staying on to fight Cory Gardner On Tuesday, the Denver Post reported that Brandon Shaffer is considering running in the 6th District against Mike Coffman, instead of remaining in the 4th District race against Cory Gardner. Shaffer is polling in the 6th and said he “will not rule anything out.”...
Since I have a particular interest in Larimer County and I can’t vote against Cory Gardner in 2012, I thought it would be wise for me to find out who this Kevin Lundberg guy is. All I can find is that he thinks gay marriage is the most important issue facing the United States,...
Cory Gardner has not yet come out in favor of or against SOPA, the “Stop Online Piracy Act” that is getting quite a lot of attention these days. If you don’t know about this bill, here’s what the Electronic Frontier Foundation has to say about it: As drafted, the legislation would grant the government...
One year ago today, Cory Gardner was sworn into office as the Representative for Colorado’s Fourth District. Exactly 11 months ago today, I registered the domain GardnerPath.com to offer my own thoughts on his (mis)representation of the District. I thought today would be a good time to look back on the last year. Thinking...
Dear Tea Party and 9/12 Groups in Colorado’s 4th Congressional, Where’s the outrage? Have you all given up on the oft-proclaimed idea that your organizations are not simply the same old Republicans in more patriotic clothing? You ranted and raved about the health care law and everything else until you got a Republican into...
I’ve never been a huge fan of the Fort Collins Coloradoan, but when I want local news it’s the place to go. Unfortunately, it seems that after the departure of Editor Bob Moore, the paper has decided to go in the direction of not discussing anything related to politics at all. With the recent...
