"One half of Louisiana is under water and the other half is under indictment."
Many of these Tancredo followers are the same folks who love Buchanan and Savage. hmmmm.
I think it's less than 2,750. I think it'll be just under 1,000 (directly related to Katrina). Vitter's comments, especially coming from a GOPer, were reckless and uncalled for. What a moronic comment.

That's about it unless there are any others we haven't heard about.
Thought you'd enjoy this :-D
I dunno...seems to me that the media lags this site by about 4-5 days including Fox. They immediately jump on and broadcast the Dems histrionics though.
I love this guy. Can you believe the brass balls on him?
I don't like Savage, and it's too bad about Buchanan, he had something for a while. But Tancredo is getting interesting.
If this had any chance of even being considered, great, I agree with the gist of it. Given that it has ZERO chance of even being considered, I think it's grandstanding. Just my opinion.
LOL
Excellent idea. We know that both at the local and state level they are as corrupt as they come. Cut them out of the chain.
Now why would you say that? Just because you don't like the guy, doesn't mean his words don't have merit. Remember, we're dealing with people who are as corrupt as the day is long. FEMA is still wondering what happened to all the money sent to fix things. As of March of this year, they wanted an accounting for money spent. Ms. Blanco predictably stood on her hind legs, and brayed like the jackass she is, in response.
See, now I'm thinking of all the pols I can email and demand they give Tancredo's proposal serious consideration.
I know that, and I agree so far. But Tancredo is making something out of his raw materials. If he can articulate his basic complaint, and this corruption idea might be a step in that direction, he might grow considerably in statesman stature. He's not there yet, but few are born into it.
LOL, go Tom!!
I suspected that part of Blanco's refusal to relinguish control to the Feds was a hope to keep funds going through her office.
...so I'm sitting here reading, and along comes your post.
a. Do you think Tom Tancredo has a good point?
b. If so, do you think President Bush would ever do this?
c. Do you have a better idea?
You're sounding like some kind of hater, yourself!
Please see post #128. Of course there's massive corruption. Of course the main points of his letter are accurate. I don't like him for the reason stated in post #128. I just don't trust him. DeLay is one of our most powerful, trustworthy politicians in the nation. Conservative, doesn't give in the the libs, pro-Iraq, pro-Israel, etc etc etc. For Tancredo to go on national TV and sell him down the river was reprehensible, IMHO.
So far, I count 2 quislings. Probably all they could spare today.
"Many of these Tancredo followers are the same folks who love Buchanan and Savage. hmmmm."
Ahh, once again NYC Republican is on these threads denouncing savage. As I remember our earlier conflicts, 70-80% of your posts this summer seem to be continual rails against savage. Why would you be so obsessed with a man you claim is such a loser and no one listens to, yet you spend so much time denouncing him and mischaracterizing his arguments.
Why am I not surprised that you also hate Tancredo and often try to associate him with Pat Buchanan just like the other losers Dane and Bayourod?
As far as your rant against tancredo and "selling" delay down the river" that is another lie. You just believed the media spin, which selectively edited his statements:
Tancredo: DeLay Charges 'Trumped Up'

Rep. Tom Tancredo's advice that House Majority Leader Tom DeLay should consider stepping aside while ethics charges against him are resolved received wall-to-wall coverage on the Sunday morning news shows - which all but ignored Tancredo's main point: that the DeLay allegations "lack merit" and were "trumped up."
In a statement posted to his official web site Friday, the Colorado Republican emphasized the that he believed that the DeLay scandal was a bogus partisan witchunt: "I believe that all of the charges against Tom DeLay I have seen to date lack merit. I believe they are being leveled in the hopes of brining him down, and with him the Republican Majority," he began.
Only then did Tancredo suggest that it "may be a productive move" for DeLay to take a "temporary" leave of absence, saying:
"However if the Majority Leader were to temporarily step aside so that these trumped up charges can be dealt with in a less hostile environment, as they have proven to be an unnecessary distraction, it may be a productive move.”
But that didn't stop the media from misreporting Tancredo's comments, suggesting that the Colorado Republican wanted DeLay to permanently resign.
Of twenty-nine mainstream press reports on Tancredo's statement generated by a Lexis Nexis search, fourteen omitted his "temporarily" qualifier.
None of the headlines so much as hinted that Tancredo's statement was anything but a call for DeLay's permanent resignation.
