I just think it is obvious that he is more principled than Tancredo. It is funny how easy alleged restrictionists and Tancredoites are to forgive and forget the reality of the Tancredo campaign. Tancredo ran as a single issue candidate. His candidacy was in large part a response to the very amnesty bill put forward and proposed by McCain. Yet now he endorses McCain because of someone elses "blindspot on Radical Islam". It is not just that supporting McCain is hilariously inconsistent and inherently ridiculous for a restrictionist, it is also tacticially foolish. Even if you have ever intent of voting for McCain, why announce it? As the figurehead of the anti-amnesty movement Tancredo talking like that guarantees that McCain doesn't even have to listen to hiim or his people. Their votes are already in the bag. Tancredo could have said he was refusing to endorse anyone. Or that he was a good GOPer, but still had serious conerns about McCain. Instead he blathered on with his fallback "radical Islam" talking point, solidifying his position as the worst single issue candidate in recent memory. Dylan Sent at: 2008 09 07
