Tancredo has an obligation

An endorsement from the left-wing Denver Post. I did not see that coming.

"unyielding. (That's [not] bad.)" Controlling our borders is an issue of principle. Never compromise your principles. It would be a sell-out if you did.

[cripplecreek]

I saw it coming. Liberals are figuring out that illegals are eating into their social program money.

[Khepera]

So Tancredo is good as long as he "compromises" his positions.

[RKV]

A "sensible middle ground" on immigration is like a sensible middle ground on cancer. It will get you killed.

You could just see them holding their noses when thay made this endorsement. I bet it nearly killed that cluster of left-wing, me-tooers who inevitably follow the lead of the NY Times and Wash Post. And doesn't that intellectual colossus Cindy Rodriguez sit on the ed board? Reading between the lines, I would bet money the publisher stepped in and told them what to do.

It shows how powerful the anti-illegal movement has become. Now the pro-illegal forces are attempting to save what they can.

Translation:

We didn't support Tancredo's re-election bid in 2004, preferring challenger Joanna Conti who would have served without Tancredo's polarizing persona and single-item agenda doing anything to deter our effort to build a permanent power base out of a dependant Hispanic underclass.

But Tancredo has worked hard to advance an important issue that others would like to ignore we would have preferred remained ignored, and we believe he can contribute to its resolution by caving in to what we wanted in the first place. Members of the House and Senate have hit a stalemate, but there are 12 million reasons they should forge an agreement potential Democrat votes.

[3AngelaD]

That was great!! You nailed them to the wall.

[Carry_Okie]

Given my years of dealings with enviro-crooks, deconvoluting liberal-speak has become somewhat of a specialty.

[Shermy]

Rove is a genius for . how he stampeded the liberals into falling for the "comprehensive" reform plan, playing upon their animosities towards conservatives and average Americans.

[Starter]

You should have. The Post will endorse conservatives in races where the Democrats have no chance of winning simply so that they can answer complaints about only endorsing liberal candidates/positions by saying, "Well, we endorsed Tancredo too."

[Paul Ross]

Bump!

Good Liberal Double-Speak decoding!

[confederacy of dunces]

Exactly.

[Kimberly GG]

"Tancredo has resisted any approach that could provide a path to citizenship for immigrants who fulfill various requirements. That's a cornerstone of the president's plan and the Senate's, and properly so."

gagg me. The VERY reason the Republican party is divided, in a critical election year, is because of Bush, yet everyone BUT Bush is suppose to compromise?

[Kimberly GG]

" We endorse his candidacy with trepidation. We know he'd have to swallow hard to make a compromise with the White House, but after Election Day it will be time to find common ground.

We provide this free advice to Rep. Tancredo: For every thing there is a season. A time to kick and scream. A time to be pragmatic. The issue has been joined. The public expects a resolution. "

What a load of condescending &*)*&#!!!

[DoughtyOne]

Yes, I believe you have gleaned the pure essence of the article.

Let's review a few definitions from the socialist/leftist play book.

a leading role : getting behind our plan

comprehensive solution : collapse on principle

kick and scream : telling the truth (in opposition to leftist dogma) at any volume, while sitting or standing

polarizing : any argument that advances the idea that our nation's laws should be upheld, or that there actually is a moral right and wrong

pragmatic : accepting our point of view

relentless : unreasonable, unwilling to compromise, unwilling to accept criminality, unwilling to support the DNC

respectable alternative : term used to describe our candidates in order to infer their candidates are not respectable

sensible resolution : one that sees our views implemented concerning all points

single item agenda : support for any single issue (by itself or among many) we can't win on the merits, and must demagogue

twelve million reasons : 17.2 million votes


This sentence is a doozie : 'The Senate and President Bush have fashioned comprehensive immigration reform that includes border security, employer sanctions, a guest-worker program and an eventual path to citizenship.'

Name one point mentioned in this sentence that wasn't a part of the 1986 Amnesty. The border security part is being sold as something new and a real change. I don't think it's all that serious, and in seven years we'll have ten million illegals in this nation whether we legalize everyone here now or not.

An endorsement from the left-wing Denver Post. I did not see that coming.

You should have. The media will endorse any Republican :cough, cough: McCain :cough, cough: they think is useful in hurting the party overall. Tancredo has proved he is willing to destroy the GOP so as long as he gets attention.

So, did Tancredo's latest check clear into your bank account?

[Navy Patriot]

Yeah, the Post Hole offering advice to Tom.
