"Yep- Delay should quit- Tancredo should quit- George W.Bush should quit-Why we ough tleave the filthy mess to the Jacki
that have dictated the dialogue since WW Twice.Every Christian-every Patriot-every member of Congress NOT under
influence of the transmission belt to Soviet Communist
Dictatorship (the ACLU ) ought Quit. The Dems and the
Republicans have made Congress essentially irrelevant anyhow.Even President Bush acknoledged we are no longer that
system established 1776-1791but under the Oligarchy of
Despots.Our mere politicians believe we could not exist
independent of that extra Constitutional anti-American organ the U.N.That petty despot to the South believes we are
Mexico's cash cow and exist solely to protect Mexican jobs
and future.So everyone not progressive enough to be part
of the new world order of human bondage ought quit."

That's the best post on the thread IMHO.
Tom Delay is fairly conservative, however, NONE of the abominations that have become law would have passed without the influence of Tom Delay.
CFR
Prescription Drugs
Edu. Bill
Nationalizing airport screeners
None of these are in ANY way remotely related to conservative thought.
Give Tancredo a break.

I love the expression: "Snatching Defeat from the Jaws of Victory." I hope Trancredo enjoys his fleeting fame!

[MikefromOhio]

after all that crap you posted, you added "Give Tancredo a Break".

How about give us a break and try to find any loyalty Tancredo may have to anyone beside himself....

He's done. He can now go back to being an irrelevant blowhard we all KNEW he was....

>>>>>In conclusion, both men are really needed in the House of Representives and this issue of attacking both Tancredo and Delay needs to be put aside.

Tell that to Tancredo. It was not Tom Delay that attacked him.

[Kath]

>>>>>I don't believe I have seen Tom Delay on television backstabbing Tancredo.

Exactally right!!!

[Kath]

>>>>>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

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.

Weak willed Pubbies, slow news cycles.

[antisocial]

I believe you've already done that.

[MikefromOhio]

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

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?)

[mtbrandon49]

Forgive Tancredo he's a good man but he's having a John McCain moment.

[firewalk]

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

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.

Give Tancredo a break.

Both legs or just one?

[rodguy911]

I have a feeling it won't be tooooo long before Tancreado takes it all back about DeLay

[MikefromOhio]

Done what, if I may ask?

[MikefromOhio]

yep...

and someone (probably me) will be on FR screaming FLIP FLOP FLIP FLOP all day :)

[MarkL]

Amazing how the leftists are now using Tancredo as a "sane voice in the republican party" when not that long ago the same leftists were portraying him as a right wing whacko due to his stance on illegal immigration.

[Dog Gone]

Tancredo has blown any chance whatsoever to advance into a leadership position with the GOP. He's proven he's a freakin' idiot, politically.

Not only is he wrong about DeLay, he's siding with Sheila Jackson-Lee and her ilk.

Yes, he's getting his 15 minutes of fame from this, which is what wanted.

He's getting a lifetime of scorn from me.

[M. Thatcher]

#17..Please clarify 'toast'. 1.--You agree with the statement of the poster...and 'toast' his comment? 2.--You disagree with the poster's statement and believe tancredo is .....toast? :)

Option #2.

[jmc813]

And I really really REALLY wanted to watch him implode in the primaries

Before Tom made these stupid comments, what issues did you disagree with him on? He has a 100% rating from the ACU.

[MikefromOhio]

It's not that I disagree with his stance on issues, but he is a disagreeable person in general and not someone I would like to vote for personally.

ACU ratings are good and all, but delivery is important too. Not only that, but he is taking sides with the MSM on the Delay thing and personally, I think his chances of being a viable GOP Presidential candidate just went up in smoke, not that he was very viable in the first place from a realistic standpoint.
