Maes is a conservative. Running a splitter campaign against a conservative is NEVER a good thing, regardless of how much “trust he doesn’t have” for the Dems and GOP. Personally, this is a good reason never to trust Tancredo again, AFAIAC.
Nevertheless, I’m sure there are a goodly number of FReepers who have convinced themselves that voting for a self-promoting scumbag like Tancredo is the “principled” thing to do. Amazing what turns out to be “principled” when you get to define the term for yourself....
As many pimples at the Republican Party has this is also another reason to try and save it.
“Amazing what turns out to be “principled” when you get to define the term for yourself....”
Also amazing what passes as “principled” when there are enormous consequences - like the Statehouse on the line. In case Tancredo isn’t aware of it, his rhetoric alone won’t mean a thing with the RATs in the Statehouse. Then what, gear up for 2014? Come on, we’ve got to be smarter and more strategic than that.
How’s about he rolls for a month and then endorses Maes?
It is NEVER principled to elect Democrats. Tancredo is a self absorbed egomaniac.
