Winter calls on Tancredo to return DeLay funds

Now that I'm done philosophizing about the role of local blogs, I'll return you to your regularly scheduled programming. Which is basically me selling Democratic CD6 candidate Bill Winter. I just got a release from the campaign that reads, in part:

Bill Winter, Marine and Navy veteran and Congressional candidate in Colorado's 6th Congressional District, called on Tom Tancredo to follow Bob Beauprez's lead and return the contributions from Tom DeLay.

Tancredo, who received $28,439 from DeLay's Americans for a Republican Majority PAC, has criticized the "trumped up" charges against DeLay... Tancredo voted to weaken House ethics rules and to allow DeLay to continue serving as GOP House Leader after an indictment.

"It is time to clean up the corruption and cronyism in Washington that is cheating Americans from Baghdad to Bourbon Street," stated Winter.
