The Republican Party continues to purge conservative activists. Most of the 1994 "Revolutionaries" have been expelled.

For 40 years Democrat voters had the idea that the Democrat party stood for the values they believed in from the 1940's, 50' and 60's. They became attached to the name of the party and overlooked the true modern socialist values of the Democrat party.

Modern Republicans must be wary that the party of Reagan continues to truly hold the values of Reagan.

Classical conservatives (pro-liberty conservatives) must ask themselves if the modern Republican party truly stands for classical, traditional conservative values.

Who are they, and who expelled them? Trancredo is ineffective because he is strident. His style gets in the way of his message. If he was more measured and thoughtful, and calm in presenting his evidence, he would not so easily be sluffed off.

I'll consider Tancredo if he runs in '04 primary. It's time to send the Bushies a message:Stop appeasing the illegal alien lobby.

[APBaer]

"never to darken the door of the White House again."

Maybe he should wear a sombrero when he goes to see his compadre GWB?

[I_Love_My_Husband]

Unbelievable!!

[Common Tator]

And he was embarrassed earlier this year when it was revealed that undocumented workers had been hired to do some construction work on his Littleton home.

That is a riot. He is going down. He sounds like that idiot James Traficant.

The Republican and Democratic party are teams. If you are not on the team you are off it.

If he keeps screwing with the power structure the DOJ will get him an all expense paid trip to join James Traficant in making license plates. Scottie can beam them both up.

"The House Member's criticisms of President Bush's immigration policy bought him a 40-minute rebuke earlier this year from Bush adviser Karl Rove"

I think this pretty much says it all as to what Bush's politics on sucuring our borders are, and therefor what his position is on seeing that the American people are secure.

[sinkspur]

Tancredo is, as Torie said, strident. Getting in Bush's face was not necessary, nor did he endear himself with his breaking of his term limits pledge.

Tom Coburn from Oklahoma kept his promise. Tancredo can't keep his because his "supporters" have turned him into a showboater who thinks he's "indispensable."

If Armstrong and Karl Rove oppose him in 2004, he's dead meat.

[Captainpaintball]

even though I knew this was coming, I am still enraged. What other conclusion can a clear-thinking person come to except George Bush is a fake, NWO, fraud saboteur(or a complete, incompetent idiot) responsible for putting the nail in the coffin of America. I challenge any bushbot to defend this--if they can.

Lying to your constituents over your length of service is not a "Reagan value."

I am glad someone is trying to fill B-1 Bob's shoes.

They don't.... period. End of story. The ones that do get castigated and ridiculed.

[RodgerD]

The headline got my hopes up that Tancredo had decided to challenge the Fox-Bush team in the '04 Presidential primary. Instead we hear that Jorge's consiglieri are gunning for him.

[RLK]

God bless Tancredo. God damn the useless Republican party.

[Myrean]

Tancredo has been effective precisely because he delivers a message that most of the Republican party doesn't have the cajones to deliver. Call him strident if you like. People listen.

Bush is likely to move closer to Tancredo's position before 2004 because the tide is rising. The sniper incident has brought illegal immigration to the public's attention and more and more people want the borders closed.

As far as the Karl Rove phone call to Tancredo, this is very old news. It happened in the spring of 2001 so if a Republican wanted to challenge Tom in his district they had plenty of time to do so this election.

And the person who commented on the illegal workers that Tancredo supposedly hired should get his facts straight. Tancredo hired a licensed legal contractor to do some work on his home. The contractor had a couple of illegals on his payroll. This is not something that Tancredo should have known and it's not something that you would know either.

Tom announced mid-campaign that he would not honor the term limit committment in 2004. Since Tom made that committment the Supreme Court found term limits unconstitutional. In my mind that changes things. He could have waited till after the election but being an honest man he told his constituents in time for them to vote him out this time if they wanted to. You see the results.

Tom has support from all over the state and country. I don't live in his district but I support him financially as do many others.

Now who is Josh Kurtz and what is his agenda?

[Cicero]

I'm divided on this one. Something needs to be done about illegal immigrants. But it needs to be done in a way that won't offend Hispanics and other groups Republicans need if they are to have any future. In other words, there are two important issues at stake, and some way has to be found to achieve both of them.

Pete Wilson demonstrated that if you handle the immigration issue the wrong way, it will kill you. His clumsy handling of illegal immigrants in California cost Republicans the state, and they are still struggling to get back into the game.

I don't say that Rove is handling this the right way, either. It's not an easy problem to deal with.

[VMI70]

Tom Tancredo is an elected representative belonging to the Republican Party.

Karl Rove is a political hack who has no standing to close the White House door on Tancredo.

If President Bush had the gumption to tell him to "never to darken the door of the White House again." I would not have a problem with this.

And the part about W pointedly not introducing him seems awfully petty to me. I remember when John Sununu (sp?) was CoS and he took back tickets to a Kennedy Center show that he had promised to some congressman who crossed him.

How lame, unseemly, and juvenile, in both cases.

Get off your high horse. Republicans don't have to ask themselves anything.

This is an inter-party quabble, not the end of the republic.

Such drama. Such hand-wringing. Such lofty pronouncements. Spare us your emotional meltdown.

Please...

We swept Congress in 1994 because the right turned-out to beat Bill Clinton and the left stayed home.
