“Tancredo also dismissed the new Sarah Palin branch of the GOP.”
Now that is probably a mistake. I would bet it is that branch of the party who is supporting you Tom. You need to be paying better attention.
I’ve said this before. Tancredo is a demagogue. Tancredo is about ‘Tancredo’, and nothing else. He’s an egomaniac, and a loose-cannon. Support him at your peril.
A lot of Tea Party people feel betrayed by the adoption of Palin (the GOP) by the Tea Party. They don’t like Rinos (socialists) and Palin supports Rinos... They feel the tea party has been highjacked.
I think they are wrong but we will see if the Tea Party sticks by the constitution in shrinking government and repealing socialist medicine after the election rather than sticking by McLame and Co. It is not only the GOP that has something to prove in the area of reform - the Tea Party has some proving to do, too. I really hope and pray we hang together and keep after the GOP if they get majority power through us.
