Conti is making Inroads as Tancredo becomes Pariah.
JOANNA MANIA!

According to recent articles in the Rocky Mountain News and the Denver Post, everyone’s talking about Joanna. As the spotlight shines brighter on the Sixth Congressional District, House Minority Leader, Nancy Pelosi has visited the state to campaign. Colorado Democratic Party State Chairman, Chris Gates believes the seat is “very winnable.”

The buzz about Joanna is making it to the local TV stations. Vida Urbonas interviewed her on WB2 News on Tuesday morning. Check out the interview on our website and forward the link to your friends. The more people who know about Joanna, the more votes she’ll get.



Tancredo Watch
CONVENTION PARIAH
Tom was one of the few Colorado Republican politicians who wasn’t invited to speak at the convention, so he decided to join the protesters outside! On Monday, August 30, he held a disruptive press conference to criticize the President, the Administration, and the Congress about the same old subject: immigration. The next day, Arnold Schwarzenegger praised the opportunities America offers immigrants. Tom just doesn't get it.

1. He sticks to his beliefs, though. I have to give him that.
And he is right in that illegal immigration is a problem. I just don't think he has the ability to solve it in any effective and honorable way.

2. I agree with you there.
But I think that he is a bigot and he is also a very single issue politician. He also pissed off First Data because he wanted to tax outgoing mail sent by illegal immigrants.

Here is an article.

Western Union has a nice racket going. They allow foreign workers in the US to wire money to their families all over the world, all the while taking a nice cut. While the practice borders on exploitation, it's an economic necessity for many Latin American countries.
Which is why Tom Tancredo hates it. The congressman from the Colorado 6th district is easily the most bigoted anti-Latino legislator in the entire federal government. What Marilyn Musgrave is to gays, Tancredo is to Latinos.

3. That's good . Musgrave is to gays as Tancredo is to Latinos.
How did Colorado hit the jackpot with so much bigotry?

4. I don't know.
I never thought that Colorado was that bigoted. Last I heard, Musgrave was in a dead heat with Matsunaka. So hopefully she will be going bye-bye. Maybe we can take Tancredo out too.

5. Wouldn't that be great and pick up John Salazar, as well!
We'd hit the trifecta. :D

6. Dave Thomas as well.
We would hit the quadfecta. ;)

John Salazar will win the 3rd. That I am pretty sure of. We need to make sure that we get Beauprez out because he is vulnerable. Get Musgrave out because she is vulnerable and dangerous. Tancredo because he is a hateful man and actually would be dangerous had he any real power.

10. The Tancredo site does not have that much on it.
The Musgrave one is substantially bigger.
