Well its a big concern to me. I have been screaming that if Tancredo was not punished by the leadership(committe assignments) that this precedent could be a bad one. I mean what if ones issue was abortion, trade, etc etc. With so many things coming down to party line votes in the House its a concern

And a big concern to me also, but not to the tancredoites on FR.

JMO, if charlie manson from his jail cell proclaimed that he hates all illegal aliens and was running against Chris Cannon, I sincerely believe some posters on FR(not you) would be saying to themselves, "go charlie".

That is the intensity of their red hot hate against a 100% ACU conservative.

Hate can blind people to rationality as I have seen in the posts on the Cannon/Jacob threads in the last couple of weeks.

Well I am extremely nervous about tonight. This is nothing more than a battle for the soul of the GOP. I know its dangerous to examine races from a tousand miles away. Cannon could lose because of anti incumbent fever or issues that minute. But in the end a Cannon loss will be spun as a victory for the Tancredo forces and thus become a reality

However if Cannon does win. It might provides what needed to give the leadership some backbone and have then start dealing with issue. OF course this race is so important on so many other levels

Ewww...What's that smell? Diaper change time, Dane?

Red hot hate against a conservative? Rep. Tom Tancredo's conservative ratings surpass Cannon's on almost every score and, even then, Cannon only ties with Tancredo. Yet, you spend day after day displaying red hot seething hatred against Tom Tancredo on this very website.

Is it comparison time again? I think it is:

Rep. Tom Tancredo's ratings from various conservative organizations:

100% "Best and Brightest" Rating from American Conservative Union (one of only 38 other Congressmen)
100% Rating from National Right to Life Committee
100% Rating from Conservative Index (Spring '05 - 75% lifetime, tied for second highest rating)
100% Rating from Concerned Women for America
100% Rating from Christian Coalition
100% Rating from Campaign for Working Families
100% Rating from FreedomWorks
98% Rating from National Tax Limitation Committee (average since 1999)
95% "Taxpayer Hero" Rating from Citizens Against Government Waste
95% Rating from Americans for Tax Reform
95% Rating from Christian Action Network
93% Rating from Eagle Forum (tied for second highest rating)

Rep. Cannon's ratings for comparison:

American Conservative Union: Lower than Tancredo's score.
National Right to Life Committee: Same as Tancredo's score.
Conservative Index: MUCH Lower than Tancredo's score.
Concerned Women for America: Lower than Tancredo's score.
Christian Coalition: Lower than Tancredo's score.
Campaign for Working Families: Lower than Tancredo's score.
FreedomWorks: MUCH Lower than Tancredo's score.
National Tax Limitation Committee: Lower than Tancredo's score.
Citizens Against Government Waste: MUCH Lower than Tancredo's score.
Americans for Tax Reform: Similar to Tancredo's score
Christian Action Network: Lower than Tancredo's score.
Eagle Forum: Lower than Tancredo's score.

That's a stretch, even for you, Dane. I lived in Southern California during the Manson killings.

Three crimes that sent a chill through everyone and stand out in the minds of those of us who lived through it is: Manson, Hillside Strangler and the Nightstalker. Even using them in this context isn't particularly amusing.
