Ok, if you want to be a puppet to democrat tactics, go ahead and take that line. Almost as bothersome as the guy on here admitting he will vote for Hickenlooper.

Excuse me?

Exactly how am I being a "puppet" to Demon-rat tactics? Is it by not voting for a guy who had no qualms about ensaving my progeny to the tune of $700+ billion dollars? Does that make me a "puppet"? Curious...

What would you say if the Republicans took over and immediately passed a balanced budget bill that was retro-active to the government fiscal year that just started. Would you be happy with that? I'd really like to know.

He voted for it TWICE is a propaganda move by the left to weaken Tancredo, and you fell for it. Good luck with that.

To “be fiscally conservative” or to “reduce government spending” it is not just a matter of making a budget . Oh yes the liberal media has lied and said that is what Republicans did , made a budget . that's a lie. Almost all spending growth is mandated by laws passed by democrat congresses.
To “be fiscally conservative” or to “reduce government spending” , Republicans would have to repeal Obamacare, social security,medicare,medicaid, HUD , and thousands of other agencies and thousands of laws that mandate those agencies etc.

And they would need a 2/3 majority to override an Obama veto to repeal any law. With a willing conservative president they would need a super majority in Congress to repeal any law.

Yes, you are a puppet.
Surely Tanc has warts - any politician does. But in the bigger scheme, you have an acceptable conservative against a dangerous liberal. Helping the greater evil win is evil...

As for your pet item: on the numbers, TARP itself has come in way under $700b net cost, about $50b actually, and a fraction of the $3 TRILLION Obama and the Dems have added to the debt in the past 2 years. TARP isnt the most important deficit vote - the Obama budget, the stimulus, Obamacare and cap-and-tax are. A republicans are better than the liberal Dems.

more importantly, if you cede this race to Hickenlooper, he will redistrict Colorado to give more power Pelosi, Barney Frank, and other liberal Democrats who voted for TARP, Obamacare, stimulus, and cap-and-tax...
WHY GIVE THE LIBERAL DEMS MORE POWER?
