If they hadn't written this same story every year about the CRP convention for the past 10 years I would understand your disgust at California Republicans.
Both Tancredo and Kaloogian support Bush. That's what makes them special... they say where they agree with him, but where they think he is wrong they speak clearly and without forked tongue... they believe Bush is hurting himself, his party, and his nation with this plan and as people who agree with him on many other issues are trying to get him to wake up to the travesty that has become our nation's border control - whether from the standpoint of welfare for aliens or national security risks such as what happened with 9/11.
And he is. Kaloogian is doing him a favor by helping to show that the people oppose his plan.
