It is rare when I take on the far right. It is usually a waste of time since they refuse to listen and then I get a bunch of blow back for daring to point out their mistakes. But I am a glutton for punishment, and I have to point out things that are just […]

I had my suspicions that Tancredo left Congress because he was too much of an immigration hypochondriac for even his own district. Seems I was right: Colorado’s 6th Congressional District is the pulsing heart of state Republicans’ anger over illegal immigration. This is the political home from which Rep. Tom Tancredo launched a presidential run […]

I am laughing and crying with the apoplexy raging the hyper-right today. The most hilarious is Anne Coulter would rather campaign for Hillary over McCain. Is she now a greater RINO-Traitor than McCain because she is not just working on compromise bills with Dems but supporting them in the Presidential election? And isn’t sitting out […]

Boy, Romney really is self-destructing. It seems is latest ad attack is to go after McCain for his support of the comprehensive immigration reform bill last year. The evil “amnesty” has arisen again to tear the party apart. Romney again criticized McCain over his including “amnesty” for illegal immigrants in his legislation. McCain replied, “I […]

It is Christmas and many people rethink their lives and plans around this time of year. And many people switch paths all year long. And so some Reuters reporters have a story out today creating a myth for the gullible that there is massive self deportation of illegal aliens: The couple are among a growing […]

GOP Minority Leader Boehner has admitted publicly what was clear for months now – the immigration debacle from last spring is killing the GOP fundraising efforts for 2008. Polls show the public holds congressional Republicans in low esteem. Boehner’s effort to craft a new agenda for Republicans remains under wraps. And in the minority leader’s […]

Tom Tancredo helped spearhead the effort to stop legislation that was going to pass Congress this year which would have secured the borders, created a guest worker program that would not provide a path to citizenship, would make it easy to deport criminal elements, and one thing he did not want – fines and milestones […]
