[Columbine]

But I don't run the Minutemen. And I think it's absurd to expect them to be loyal to the GOP when the GOP president pimp-smacks them.

Didn't say anything about them being loyal to the GOP. They SHOULD be loyal to Tancredo who would be running against Hillary.

If the Minutemen aren't loyal to Tom then I don't think much of them.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

It's not as clear cut as how you are painting it: either/or. A powerful temptation:

Former first lady: big name.
Current president: big name.
Trancredo: statesman who RICHLY DESERVES big name.

I won't ditch America's border if the Minutemen make the wrong choice, not even for Trancredo. I'd try to persuade the GOP toward damage control.
