Your link makes the claim but fails to document the details (surprise).

Well it pretty easy, the democrats gained 30 seats and 10 of those pickups came from Tancredo's caucus, including such big names as Hayworth and Hostettler who made immigration a big part of their campaigns.

I see your little game, Dane.

There were over 100 members of the GOP House in Tancredo's caucus.

I'll be generous to you and say they were only 45 percent of the House GOP.

So a body that represents 45 percent of the House GOP had members lose 1/3 of the lost seats. So, in simple, honest terms, they lost at a lesser rate than non-caucus members.

Smoke that, weasel-boy. You're too dishonest to mention the little detail as to how many members were in the caucus.
