From Tancredo Suggests DeLay Resign

Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Colo.) said yesterday that it "may be a productive move" for House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Tex.) to step aside while charges against him are investigated, but added that he believes the accusations are "trumped-up charges" by Democrats.

Tancredo issued the statement after the Denver Post quoted him as saying that although he does not favor ousting DeLay, "If he chose to resign as majority leader until these matters are resolved, that's probably not the worst idea."

What a stand-up guy.

Well, you know, I think the charges that Tancredo is a racist are "trumped up" but if he resigned from the House, "that's probably not the worst idea."

So you'll blow off Tancredo for that minor foible, but vote for Bush, the biggest liberal since LBJ? Your hypocrisy is telling. You want another RINO GOP president who will continue to destroy this nation

AmishDude, you seem have a problem with being able to read the WHOLE sentence, so I empathized the part you skipped over so you can be more accurate next time. Tancredo NEVER said Delay should "resign from the House" no matter how much the Tancredo haters want to repeat liberal talking points over and over.

The liberal media wants us to think Henry Hyde said "Clinton's impeachment was payback for Nixon", even though Hyde never said that either.

I remember the same rants from the goofy freepers who were defending Trent Lott and began screaming how if Lott stepped aside as MAJORITY LEADER, that would somehow "cause a Democrat like Mike Espy to fill his seat!!!" Well, gosh, last time i checked, Lott ended up stepping aside as MAJORITY LEADER and he's STILL in the Senate indefinitely Really, I don't know why understand why you guys think stepping aside from a leadership position means a person "Resigns" from Congress. I haven't seen anything this wacky since a Dem op-ed piece said if Clinton was impeached, it would "make Newt Gingrinch President". Facts and logic are obviously not the strong point of characther assisins.

Dane says Tancredo agrees with the liberal Democrats and "backstabbes" Delay. Here's what Tancredo ACTUALLY said about the charges:

"All of the charges against Tom DeLay I have seen to date lack merit. I believe they are being leveled in the hopes of bringing him down, and with him, the Republican majority."
-- Tom Tancredo

Gee, let me know when here Howard Dean go on TV and say all the charges against Delay "lack merit" and being are trumpted up. THEN you could rightfully say Dean and Tancredo are on the same page I'd say it'll be a cold day in hell when that happens.
