Tom Tancredo (R-CO.) is already hard at work losing the 2010 vote for the Republicans by alienating all Latino’s (unlike the significant majority he pissed off with his immigration stand) by declaring La Raza to be “the Latino KKK without hoods or nooses”.
Watching the dumber wingnuts scramble over the next few months to make their party trivial is gonna be kind of fun. The Tank doesn’t represent the majority of congressional Republicans but given that the party has no real leader at the moment, with the closest thing to one being Rush Limbaugh, you gotta figure that the boneheads among them are going to run wild. The Tank lives in a district where this kind of stupidity seems to play well. There are other representatives in that category. In improving their own chances in 2010 by issuing such absurdities they are going to drag the rest of their party down farther than they already have.
Good Times!
