Cindy Rodriguez of the Denver Post is gunning for Tancredo

[Oreo]

It looks like she is going to have a series of articles explaining why Bill WInter is just what the 6th District needs to get rid of that rascist embarrassment Tom Tancredo.

Seeing conservatism through Winter's eyes
By Cindy Rodríguez
Denver Post Staff Columnist

I have a hard time believing the 212,805 people in the 6th Congressional District who voted for Tom Tancredo in 2004 are happy with the job he's doing.

Maybe I'm wrong.

Perhaps those constituents want someone who can't even work with people of his own party on a compromise immigration bill.

Maybe they enjoy the negative publicity Colorado gets when Tancredo says things like America should "take out" Muslim holy sites in retaliation for the terrorist attacks of Islamic fundamentalists.

They might like that he pals around with those gun-toting vigilantes who disgrace the name of the real minutemen.

1. Great piece.I actually wrote this part down and am using it as a bookmark.

:applause: I dare say many Democrats support these same things in the broad view. We, however, have a tendency toward nurturing parent than the stern father image conservatives lean toward in the way we view the our responsibilities both to each other and in how our government operates. I think firm and consistent nurturing parent makes for a better child and adult than a punitive, stern father. That, in turn, makes for a saner, safer, more secure world in the long run. Note to conservatives: Being fiscally responsible doesn't mean being cheap and stingy.

"It seems to me that if you consider yourself a conservative in America today, you have to wonder what happened to conservatism. Barry Goldwater wouldn't recognize it anymore.

"Conservative used to mean fiscal responsibility. Conservative used to mean a limited government. Conservative used to mean keeping the government out of our private lives.
"Conservative used to mean a strong but limited foreign policy that didn't have us policemen for the whole world. Conservative used to mean state and local control of things like education.

"But that's all gone in the last six years. Now we have the largest deficits in the history of America. Now we have the largest most intrusive federal government in the history of America.

"Now we have a government that wants to tell us who we can associate with in the privacy of our own homes and how we should pray and what our faith should look like.

"Now we have a foreign policy that says it's our job to fix every problem we see in the world. Now we have a foreign policy based on nation building.

"Now we have a federal education policy that has Washington, D.C., telling us how to run our schools. Folks, we have five of the best school districts in America right here in (our congressional district) by any measurement. We don't need the federal government telling us how to run our schools."
