Coulter and Beauprez Rake in Nothing

Way to go Beauprez.  This is great news, but here's the difference between Dems and the GOP: the GOP would spin this to mock the candidate (you know, the one people actually vote for) and not the pundit.  Don't get me wrong, I love to see Coulter get her's, but we need to be branding anyone who dares to vote for Beauprez a 9/11 widow-hating harpie.

Colorado Confidential :: Coulter Reception Netted $0 for Beauprez

“We found out the hard way,” says former Beauprez for Gov campaign chief Steve Truebner, “that Ann Coulter is not a major draw for donors.”

Nary a one showed up, according to Truebner, leaving Ms. Coulter and Mrs. Beauprez -- the candidate himself was in D.C., working his day job -- to hobnob in the Paramount’s 2d-floor lobby with about a dozen earnest but penniless campaign volunteers, plus some KOA listeners who’d won free tickets to the Coulter show from the station and just happened to be in the vicinity.

Smiles were flashed, photos were taken, and cheese/crackers were eaten, just like at a real campaign event. The only things missing were the $1,000 checks.

“It turned out to be an interesting evening for the volunteers, a way to reward them,” says Truebner, who’d already left the campaign by then but sponsored the event as a donor.

Looks like someone wants to be President.
Veterans for Progress: ask Beauprez to Apologize

We are veterans who served in Vietnam and this photo of Congressman Bob Beauprez at the Front Range Airport in Watkins, Colorado in June, 2004 troubles us.

We have reviewed the Selective Service Classification History for Robert Louis Beauprez and these records indicate that he requested and received three different student deferments. They also indicate based on a lottery drawing for 1970, Beauprez’s Lottery #160 came up for the draft.

Yet on August 6, 1970 the records indicate that Beauprez was "excused" because of a questionable "physical reason."

Mr. Beauprez appears to want it both ways: he publicly parades in a military issued uniform, and yet the records show Beauprez never served.

Take action now.
