Your aspersion of "grandstanding" doesn't float with me. Tancredo is listening to his constituents and letting their voices be heard higher up. That's what the people of Colorado hired him to do. Other representatives of the people were at this event and are quoted in the article: why then, do you single out Rep. Tancredo?

I understand that your strategy is to silence all dissent in this election cycle, but that strategy never set well with Americans before and it isn't settin' well now.

Talk about your elephant in the livingroom.

Tancredo let his name be used. If he were merely concerned that constituents know about this meeting, he could have notified them by letter. How many of his constituents read the Washington Times?

Tancredo does a good job of representing his constituents' voice in Congress. However, you must admit that he gets a lot of face time on the networks talking about this issue. That's all well and good, but it still doesn't negate that he broke the confidence of the retreat.

I also criticize the others who broke confidence. In my opinion, they are even worse in that they did so anonymously.
