Thank You Mr. Tancredo
Being a Democratic voter in my neck of the woods is a lonely job, but according to Bark Bark Woof Woof the number of Democrats in Florida is likely to rise considerably, thanks to Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-CO).
Calling Miami a third-world city because of all of the foreigners living there and complaining about the appointment of Florida Senator Mel Martinez to head the RNC, is certainly a novel way of widening the appeal of the Republican Party in Florida. I don’t expect he’s met the First lady of Florida, or he would have complained about the fact that she is Mexican.
With people like Tancredo speaking publicly for the GOP, the minority status of the Republican Party is solidifying every day.

…just blew me away when I first saw this in the news. At the very same time the Republicans are trying to figure out how to woo back all those Hispanic voters who abandoned them in 2006, Tancredo is roaring around in Florida talkin’ smack at the most reliable Republican-voting Hispanic community in the country. I can just imagine how strong the Cuban American support for Republican candidates is going to be when ol’ Tom starts babbling about chaining tiger sharks in the shallows just off the beach to make sure refugees don’t make it all the way onshore…
If I were the Florida Democrats, I would invite Representative Tancredo back at every available opportunity…
This is a gift that just keeps giving. They don’t have to vote Democratic, they just have to not vote for Republicans.
