Tell Tancredo (and his supporters) how you really feel
The Bill Winter for congress campaign is asking folks to come up with a billboard that expresses their feelings for Tom Tancredo. Anyhow, some paleoconservatives got wind of the idea and started chiming in. The posts that actually threatened Winter and his supporters with violence were scrubbed, but you can catch up on the rest of the fracas at Square State.It is the great irony of Colorado politics in the year 2006: Winter volunteered for military service and is called a traitor; Tancredo escaped Vietnam with a mental health deferment and is called a patriot. It doesn't make sense, but when was the last time the GOP did?

Is there some way we could educate the public about the difference between real tough guys and those who just play them in the movies and on TV? These people who think Bush, Cheney, Tancredo and the rest are tough guys remind me of those people who see soap stars in public and insult the ones who play mean characters as if what they see on TV is real. How ignorant do you have to be to believe that these guys who never risked so much as a manicure for their country are heroes and Kerry who absolutely legitimately won silver and bronze stars after volunteering to go to Vietnam is a whimp? Or that Max Clelland who left three limbs there is anti-American and soft on terrorism? It's really depressing! And doesn't anybody remember Tancredo getting caught with an illegal crew remodeling his basement and excusing himself by saying he didn't concern himself with who his contractor hired? What planet do these people live on?
They're doing what they have to do to get elected. They don't give a rat's ass about true values - packaging crap and selling it as patriotism. We need to beat them at their own game and reveal the liars - expose them for who they are - or keep losing elections.
Our choice.
