Update [2006-6-30 1:0:15 by Mike Stark]: from a Tancredo blogger, this comment was left over at CAW:
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for exposing Tom Tancredo for the lying tool that he is. Not only could he have easily refused that t-shirt, of course, or at least at some point thereafter said, "Hey, that's not what I'm about," but more importantly he did NOT "in the middle of [his] first term" tell his supporters that he was going to break his pledge. Please see my blog http://www.tancredowatch.blogspot.com where I've linked back to your call, transcribed it, and then included a newspaper article from an interview of Tancredo well into his SECOND term when he was still telling the public that he was keeping his pledge.
Thank you. Liars tend to trip up sooner or later. Tancredo just did.
(the good stuff comes after the flip)
I forced him to explain the shirt after I asked him the following: if he got his way and all his legislation was passed, how many immigrants from Mexico would he let into the country?
He waffled.
So I reloaded.
Given the fact that he ran on term limits - his term limit pledge was central to his first campaign - I asked him what was the bigger threat to our country: immigration... or politicians that will say anything to get elected and then go back on their word?
He didn't answer the question.
