"Tom Tancredo is a one issue and one issue only Congressman. All he ever talks about is immigration, which is not what a leader is all about. A leader is responsible for many, many important issues. I am Pro-life, but it would be stupid to put someone in leadership that just talked about abortion 24/7. I stopped listening to him a long time ago. The borders are an important issue, but not the only one,and there is no evidence that Tancredo cares about anything else."


Good point. However...

If your house is on fire, the only issue would be discussing is putting out the fire.

Currently, most people in the USA are concerned with border security and the affect it is having on our economy, state budgets, terrorism, and national defense.

It is a national disgrace that we are defenseless at the border.

Everybody's talking about this case as if Frist was in real trouble--what gives? I hadn' heard that.

If he really had his money in a blind trust, then he should be in the clear, right? If the stock is sold before the price goes down, that's because of the investment advisos, not Frist. Or am I missing something?

Earle said on 5/19/2005, I will get Tom Delay at all costs and those who think like him.

Political motivation. This is all about perception. Earle needs to be removed from his DA position. He spoke of this inditement at a Dim fundraiser. TEXANS IN AUSTIN, do something about this type of DA. I know Austin is liberal but there also are more people in Austin who vote and care about our future.

That's true, you right. Even though we want him to get down in the dirt like a back bencher.

Yeah, I heard him mention it and then he went back to the gas prices. See, I'm with the economists who say the gas prices aren't that big a deal, to some extent. They hurt, they don't feel good, we don't like them, we complain about them. But we can afford them, they aren't breaking the bank, at least so far, the economy is still cooking along, and the hurricanes haven't destroyed our refining capacity completely. So I'd rather he'd have talked about something more timely.

Maybe he doesn't know anything about politics. Which makes him a damned odd choice for a guest host for Rush.

I'm sorry.....
I Have good friends in Texas who feel he SHOULD have been indicted. I am on the fence.
Why has he had free time...if he is a god awful criminal? I guess the law will decide.

Are your friends democrats? It is well known in Texas that Earle is a political hack with an agenda. Us Texans are aware of that fact.

LOL, love how the Freepers that lecture the GOP for not standing up to the left, are always the first ones to jump out of the foxhole. Interesting human dynamic or trolls?

==" Could we vary the metaphor a bit here? I know you Repubs are supposed to believe in message control and talking points, but this ham sandwich thing is getting ridiculous... "==

Right. But keep in mind that a ham sandwich and these charges are equally non-kosher.

The one terrific thing about this Delay indictment is......

WE DON'T HAVE TO HEAR FROM AND ABOUT THAT STUPID EFFING CINDY SHEEHAN!

BE GRATEFUL FOR THAT!

To me this screams that this prosecutor should have his own ethics invstigation from the Texas Bar http://www.texasbar.com

We just need a complaint to be made.

I thought Rush said long ago that Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reed broke these same rules that Delay supposedly broke.
Does anyone remember hearing this as well?

I have however seen a bunch of smoking democrats over this..they think they've won the World Series. Amazing to watch them, Nora O'Donnell just had an orgasm on air with Chrissy Matthews.
