Speaking of anti-immigration Republicans, firebrand Colorado House member Tom Tancredo has carefully suggested that House Majority Leader Tom DeLay should step aside until the allegations of illegal and unethical activity by DeLay are cleared. Yesterday, Tancredo said,
“If the majority leader were to temporarily step aside so that these trumped up charges can be dealt with in a less hostile environment, as they have proven to be an unnecessary distraction, it may be a productive move.”
Tom Tancredo’s public announcement follows the more moderate Connecticut Representative Chris Shays, who actually wants DeLay to step down from leadership, period. It just goes to show the danger for someone who is vindictive, like DeLay, when he deals with someone who acts crazy (perhaps like a fox), and is independent, like Tancredo.
I don’t know all of Tancredo’s positions, although the few I know I disagree with him on (and some I find abhorrent) - but if he helps take down DeLay, there will be one point of agreement.
