Rep. Tom Tancredo (R.-Colo.) didnt hold back in his criticism of President Bush this morning at the Conservative Political Action Conferencedelivering what amounted to a presidential stump speech that could have easily been delivered in New Hampshire or Iowa.
Tancredo attacked the administration for its support of a guest-worker program for illegal aliens and its big-spending ways on education and Medicare prescription drugs.
It is the President who is out of step with his party, not Tom Tancredo, the Colorado Republican said to applause at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Northwest Washington, D.C.
Tancredo called for the repeal of two programs offered by President Bush: the No Child Left Behind Act and the Medicare prescription drug program. Both expanded the cost of government and drew the scorn of conservatives in Congress.
Tancredo said the Big Government policies of the Bush administration need to be halted. He said conservatives must return the GOP to a party of individual rights and shouldnt afraid to say it.
He is, but has been forthcoming in discussing this. I like JD (much more than Reid) and hopefully he has good recordkeeping on the matter.
I didn't say they did. I'm saying that if you think they were somehow "duped" into voting for him, then there'd be no basis for saying that people elsewhere aren't duped into voting for whomever they vote for.
"Mexicans (Tancredo) and you'll have one soon enough."
The perfect DU logic, disagree with Bush's shamnesty and you hate Mexicans.
ohhh he used big words like "vapidity"
LOL
Is EVERYTHING an IQ joke to you? Or is that all you have to go on to counter my point that Tancredo ISN'T a viable Presidential candidate?
I think I know the answer to that, so I will go double or nothing on this one.
The only thing about JD is that he was one of the top 5 moneygetters from Abramoff. That doesn't necessarily mean anything, but considering that his clients were casino-owning Indians (native Americans, whatever) the fact that Las Vegas Reid got money is almost prima facia evidence of shenanigans and JD getting money is suspicious. Burns and Dorgan less so because of large reservations in their states.
What's wrong? Can't handle me by yourself?
Well...I am willing to blame the French. Does that count?
One man's conservative's principles are not, necessary, another's. As long as this division in principles exist, (forever), power can be denied perturbed.
Maybe Tancredo should run for Senate in four years against Salazar.
Hehe, I think everyone blames the French.
A Conservative would secure the border and register ALL illegals. Do away with pork. Be fiscally responsible. Pound the RATS into submission...
That's what I like about you.
It's a culture-clash that will inevitably happen sooner rather than later.
Islam is at war with the "infidel" West. Everyone knows that (except you.) It's escalated everyday since 9/11 with NO repite on in sight.
"What's wrong? Can't handle me by yourself?"
You didn't even really respond, so why would I care about what you write?
You'd like that, wouldn't you? More grist for you to grind.
Unfortunately it looks like everyone got money from tribes outside their home states.
That makes no sense. You either have Conservative principles or you don't. Are you part of the mushy middle? Compassion got a little out of hand? What?
"Congressional districts have a way of NOT panning out to Presidential elections....."
We've been through this. Read #271.
Since, in my opinion, the powerful people in Bush's campaign were Karl Rove and Karen Hughes, I believe the inference that the media made that all these important Bush people were supporting McCain is simply the usual MSM pushing of McCain as a candidate.
