Tancredo let his name be used. If he were merely concerned that constituents know about this meeting, he could have notified them by letter. How many of his constituents read the Washington Times?

Tancredo does a good job of representing his constituents' voice in Congress. However, you must admit that he gets a lot of face time on the networks talking about this issue. That's all well and good, but it still doesn't negate that he broke the confidence of the retreat.

I also criticize the others who broke confidence. In my opinion, they are even worse in that they did so anonymously.

The way Tancredo has acted - I just might give him about as much support as I give John Warner.

Karl Rove has jerked Tancredo around for a couple of years, when he should have listened to him. Tancredo owes him nothing. The Bush Amnesty is a colossal blunder, both as politics and policy, and all of the voices now trying to silence the tide that has swelled against it are the same voices who would see, hear, and speak no evil throughout the Predsident's first term.

Then you would perpetuate the problem rather than solve it, which is the insular failure of this White House to recognize how much they were putting the rest of the GOP agenda at risk by pushing ideas that anger significant portions of the Republican coalition.

You want lower taxes?
You want conservative judges?
You want to win the War on Terror?
You want to rebuild America's military and intelligence capabilities?
You want to protect the institution of marriage?

Well, all of that is at risk because of people who pretend, and insist that others pretend, that President Bush doesn't have a major problem.

Pity now that you apparently think the Washington Times is an epithet.
