Entry: Three Strategies for the Right Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/three_strategies_for_the_right#23232 Post contents: Forget Bush, look at Tom Tancredo. Tom Tancredo the hero of "national question" conservatives and restrictonist paleos, runs an admittingly single issue campaign to keep illegal immigration at the forefront as a political issue during the presidential election cycle. Though I was not a Tancredo supporter, this was certainly a noble goal and Tancredo has been a consistent immigration hawk. What better guy to lead the charge? Only problem was that Tancredo proved to be a person who values the sanctity of the GOP more than he values someone strong on immigration. After endorsing technocratic liberal egghead Mitt Romeny when he dropped out in the primary season, he has now given his backing to McCain because Bob Barr has a "blindspot on radical Islam". In other words he likes his spot on the plantation and doesn't want to rock the boat for principle. Compare that to Webb who never pretended to be something he wasn't. Who is better, the serial lying, compromising, fraud Tom Tancredo, who ran the worst and most dishonest single issue campaign in recorded history, or the consistently anti-war, pro-civil liberties Webb? As long as restrictionist have people like Tancredo leading their movement they are screwed beyond belief. By contrast the anti-war crowd could use more Jim Webb's. Dylan Sent at: 2008 10 13
