Has anyone heard the rumor that recently officials in the Republican party told Tancredo to get out (of the party?)
Tancredo is a hero in my book.
Yes, I have heard that. Also Karl Rove told him to never darken the doorstep of the white house again.
Where did you hear that? I certainly hope it is false.
A week or two ago, during a debate at a Latino function at which both Rep Tom Tancredo (R-CO) and Rep Chris Cannon (Rep-UT) were on the panel, Cannon suggested that Tancredo did not belong in the Republican Party. Perhaps that is the source of your rumor. Other than that I have not heard anything.
If Tancredo leaves the Republican Party, then so do I! In many ways I already have. I return their postage paid envelopes empty except for a nasty-gram about securing the borders. I voted for Republican Congressmen but voted for the Conservative Party in the Presidential Race. Here in Wyoming it was a foregone conclusion that President Bush would win so I was free to vote my conscience.
After reading the article, it doesn't sound to me like the GOP as an organization asked Tancredo get out but rather an individual Republican (Cannon) who was pandering for votes.
