Rep. Tancredo Suggests DeLay Resign (playing to both sides, revising comment)

I called Tancredo's office and told them I considered Tancredo a traitor. That he should have kept to his own issues and I thought Tancredo was only annoyed that DeLay was getting more publicity than he was.

I was furious and his aide knew it!

[OldFriend]

And Tancredo got caught using illegal immigrants to do work on his house in Colorado. Of course, he said he had 'no idea'.

[conservativecorner]

Tom needs to stay on point regarding illegal immigration, and let DeLay handle these trumped up charges without interference from his own party.

[dc-zoo]

With this boneheaded statement Tancredo has now proven himself to be a shameless publicity whore who attacks his own party's leaders. With friends like these who needs "enemas"?

[airborne]

Tancredo is an idiot

Tancredo is a politician.

[mewzilla]

Tancredo got any family and/or friends on the payroll?

[babaloo]

Mike Gallagher (filling in for Julian) on F&F this morning as much as called Tancredo a publicity hound.

[wny]

The republicans are pathetic.

The MSM Tom Tancredo Chia Pet

Tom DeLay

[cbkaty]

DeLay waters the Chia Pets......

[Cboldt]

Any reaction to yesterdays report, particularly the "stupidly" word attributed to Tancredo?

But Tancredo said that from a personal perspective, DeLay has handled the ethics issue 'stupidly.'

I am going to vote for some other party this next time around. The G'Dammed Republicans have lost any guts they had and the ones who do have guts are slapped by the greasy back handers like Tornado Tom.

DeLay is effective....does that bother you... I assume you are a Chaffee fan....

BTW..and what party will you support?

I find your characterization of all Republicans offensive....(G'Dammed...? What's with that?)

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Tancredo should shut up until he figures out which team he's on.

[Dog Gone]

Tancredo is either a genius or a fool. He just made an enemy out of Tom DeLay, so unless DeLay steps down, Tancredo can forget any chance for a leadership position or any choice committee assignment.

I vote for "fool."

[MamaLucci]

Tancredo evidently believes his own press...........that he actually
has a shot at the presidency.......so, yes, he IS an idiot.

[johnb838]

He spoke at the initial rally, I don't know where he was when they were planning it.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

I vote for "fool."

Me too. He should have taken a closer look at the Zogby poll. If he doesn't 'clarify' or take a strong stand on Judicial Acountability, I see mediocrity in his future. Prior to reading this, I wondered if he should get the Prez nomination.
