Rep. Tom Tancredo (R.-Colo.) didn’t hold back in his criticism of President Bush this morning at the Conservative Political Action Conference—delivering 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 shouldn’t afraid to say it.”
DeLay tells gadfly that he’s risking political oblivion
The article is fron June of 2004. Who lost the majority spot since then? Who has grown since? Who has the better chance of being reelected this year, Tancredo or DeLay?
Funny how things work out.
The point being, Tancredo's future does not lie in Congress. His best option is to try to move into Pat's world as Pat retires.
To this end, he is raising money to benefit Pat and Bay and they, in turn, are training him.
The big problem is that Tanc will never measure up to Pat.
A statement with zero evidence to back it up. But of course, as it always is with libs, the accusation is the evidence.
Are you the other half of the tag team?
