ABC News’ Huma Khan reports: Colorado Senate candidate Ken Buck is taking heat for not prosecuting a rape case five years ago on the basis that there wasn’t enough evidence.

The victim was a college student at the University of North Colorado when she was allegedly raped by an ex-boyfriend while drunk in her home. This week, she released tapes of her meeting with Buck, then a Weld County district attorney, who argued that there is not enough ‘proof beyond reasonable doubt’ to take the case up to the jury.

Buck told the victim that even though she never said yes to sex with her boyfriend, it appeared to be consensual because she called him over and had a prior relationship with him. Buck also warned the victim against filing any other motions because ‘it will be very public, publicly covered event.’

GOP Gubernatorial Candidate: Bicycle Agenda As Evidence Of One-World, U.N. Plot

Out of power, the GOP has decided to grab on to something — anything to regain some kind of momentum. The problem, of course, is that the GOP in America has a history of grabbing on to nutty conspiracy b.s.

Republican gubernatorial candidate Dan Maes is warning voters that Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper’s policies, particularly his efforts to boost bike riding, are ‘converting Denver into a United Nations community.’

‘This is all very well-disguised, but it will be exposed,’ Maes told about 50 supporters who showed up at a campaign rally last week in Centennial.

What is mainstream in the GOP nowadays is straight up John Birch Society stuff. Just the most paranoid, insane crap.

Colorado’s Bob Beauprez: Conservative Liar Of The Day

Must they make everything up? EVERYTHING?

KOA guest host Bob Beauprez falsely suggested that President Obama failed to salute a Marine upon boarding the Marine One helicopter. Beauprez did not cite specifics about the purported incident, but his apparent reference to Obama shaking the hand of a Marine guard before a February 5 flight contrasts with video and photographs accompanying news accounts of the president traveling to Andrews Air Force Base on that day, clearly showing him saluting the Marine standing attention at the helicopter, then shaking his hand.

This guy was a member of congress. And he ran for governor of Colorado. Not Mars. Colorado!
