If you are refering to the fact that I backstab people like Rep. Tom Delay, you are dead wrong. I have no negative opinion of Rep. Tom Delay at all. PERIOD. I just feel that people need to understand that this whole fiasco of focusing on Tom Delay as well as saying crap about Tom Tancredo need to stop. I know as a fact that you have a personal grudge against Tom Tancredo and I personally don't give a rat-ass about it. Tancredo as well as Delay are both exceptionally well-qualified conservative Republicans that needs their full-support. I give these two "EQUAL" support and I can understand the pressure that Mr. Delay is getting a bad rap and the media don't need to focus keep on harping this issue. There are many important issues that facing this nation such as combating illegal immigration, getting the situation at Iraq to improve, ending the outsourcing problem that is hurting Americans, as well as protecting the unborn rather than focusing on one politician in Washington DC. Quite frankly, I believe that Tancredo still has the chance of becoming a rising star in the Republican Party as well as the frontrunner for the 2008 Republican Presidential Primary and yes, I do believe that Delay needs to improve its imagine as effective Majority Leader. That's all I have to say for now.

Are you ton tancredo, you are using the first person.

And people wouldn't be saying crap about tancredo if he didn't throw the crap onto Tom Delay's face.

" ... That's all I have to say for now."

Let me see if I have gotten this right.

You post an article about Congressman DeLay and why he must quit, (from New Max no less) make statements indicating DeLay should partake of a poison pill for the good of all, get several posters commenting in the negative, and you take your bat and ball and go home?

My young friend, you are not only naive, you are not quite ready for pime time.

See ya!

FWIW, every show today will comment on "even conservative Republicans are calling for Tom Delay to step aside." This is why it was very stupid for Tancredo to attack him.

I am watching Fox right now and the Dem consultant invited on to discuss this issue just named every Republican who has criticized Mr DeLay. Funny how they have such perfect memories when it comes to attacking Republicans, and no memory when a Democrat is accused of bad behavior.

Tancredo is showing how he will seize an issue to get publicity and grandstand.

Some folks are saying that is what is going on here and also is why he grabbed the border issue.

Nobody can distinguish them on their voting records. They are both solid Conservatives.

Here are their rating per the ACU:

Tom Delay

Tom Tancredo

However, I'll take Tom Delay over Tom Tancredo ANY day of the week. He stands on principle and steadfastly.

Here's an in your face pic for the Liberal
lyin' jerks trying to smear Delay!

You think so???? I don't. I won't support him. I am tired of people like him helping the Democrats destroy people in our party because they are standing in the way of Dems destroying everything I believe in. Would a Democrat get this kind of crap and would one of his own demand he step down. No way. Only Republicans turn on their own in cases like this. Who would want him as President when he can't even stand by a fellow congressman??? Who would trust him??? He's toast.

Nope. He wouldn't be for several reasons. First of all, he is a one issue wonder. yeah yeah yeah ACU blah blah blah, what is he known for? His stance on immigration. The rest is just window dressing. Another point, he is coming out of the HoR. If John Kasich couldnt do it, Tancredo CERTAINLY will not. Third, he has already alienated much of the current administration, one which has much power within the GOP. Now he has attacked Delay and has now alienated much of the conservative base.

This guy is toast. He will probably stay in the HoR (how about them term limits?)

This whole fiasco is an attack against Tom Delay. Makes me wonder why. (hammer envy?)
I am curious why Tom Tancredo is joining forces with those on the attack. (& that's how it looks from here in the stands)
I have no other issue with Tom Tancredo, but would really like to know.
