Holding Their Feet to the Fire

Colorado Republican activists have been busy setting up a network of blogs so loaded with falsehoods and deception that anyone who follows the news would be able to detect the lies.

Unfortunately, not everyone in this great state stays current with the ins and outs of politics (who blames them?), and the Republican noise machine is counting on that.

They know that just before the election there will be a flurry of people searching the Internet for information on the candidates. And they think that by pumping out lies from multiple blogs and linking them all together that they will be seen as authoritative by search engines and thus make their lies visible to the less informed.

Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion and political philosophy. Disagreement and dissent is at the heart of a vibrant democracy. But a vibrant democracy also requires us to work together, have an honest debate, and work out our differences with reason and compromise.

This network of Republican activists is not interested in reason or honesty. They spread lies and distortions in hopes that it will stick. They are about tearing down the other, rather than promoting their own positions.

We'll expose their lies and show you the truth. And then voters can make up their own minds.
