In fact I did say something along those lines. I said he was Pat's puppet/protege. I was being charitable in that statement.
Pat is getting older now. He has made a lot of money and would like to slow down and enjoy enjoy it. You need to understand that Pat never wanted to be president. Running for president was a way to motivate his donors to send money. You have to admire Pat, he really knows how to punch buttons and boil blood.
You also need to understand that in addition to getting older, Pat has worn out his name as a brand, as a product to sell. His donation are falling. He doesn't have another presidential run left in him. However, he and Bay certainly have the know-how and all they need is a fresh name-fresh face-fresh blood.
Tancredo is the fresh name/face/blood.
Of course Pat's and Bay's know-how doesn't come cheap. They are not going to give that know-how to Tom, they are making him pay for it.
That is why Tancredo is the one raising the money for Team America PAC and that money goes to Pat and Bay. As the 2008 elections get closer, that money will begin to shift to Tom to enable him to run a psuedo-campaign/fundraiser the way Pat did it.
Unfortunately, Tom will never be as successful as Pat.
Following that template, Tom is a Pat clone/protege because their wives once went to the same hairdresser.
Unless you have some evidence you can link to to prove your claim, STFU.
