Yes, truly, the state does.
While I liked Bill Simon, last gubernatorial, he appears now to be straightforward on camera but during the run for the governor's, was entirely tinnny...meaning, he was so uptight and unspoken that people were suspicious. In effect, he did not make a successful campaigner and just look, he lost. Now he's featured on broadcasts and has good and important things to say so maybe he should of considered a Senate race, dunno.
But, as to Congress seats, Tancredo from CO and Gilchrist from CA -- two people who are supported well by many as to what they're pursuing for the nation and respective states -- have already been trounced by many of the harder core GOP bloggers, to my shock, not even accurately, either. There appears a real NEED by the GOP to discredit these two, individually and together, and that's what I was earlier describing: that the GOP does not explain positions well, leaving voters to feel both uninformed when voting and later disillusioned when we/they realize we voted for issues that are not being furhtered afterward.
If the GOP could improve in any way, it would be that and that is that they'd connect with voters sincerely and explain these positions before launching into denigrating mode for those who they feel are representing other positions. Becuase just launching into denigration mode without explanation (does anyone REALLY understand WHY Bush wants this "guest worker program" and how) leaves people disillusioned and to put it bluntly, angry, feeling cheated.
It does not make any sense to me why Tancredo and Gilchrist are belittled by some among the GOP, and mostly my lack of understanding arises from the GOP not explaining why they have belittled them, and continue to.
Explain the position, let us voters in on whatever the Top Secret Party hullabaloo is. But to just drag people down because they have ideas and offer solutions, is indecent.
They are a real threat. Lots of money being made off the never ending flood of cheap labor. Business likes it, but we are forced to pay in many ways. Follow the money. Most regular folks have had it with this profit before country.

Good point, and I think the reason there are no legitimate reasons given, is because there are none.

Again, they are a threat to the power of the "business as usual" crowd. Stopping the flood of cheap labor will affect some bottom lines. They'll be making a lot of noise to see that that doesn't happen.

Agree. And again, there is a lot of special interest pulling their strings.
