Tancredo announcing his bureaucracy, clever campaigning

by | 12:20 pm, October 9, 2010 | 2 Comments

Friday, October 8, CompleteColorado.com linked to a quick blog post from Lynn Bartels of the Denver Post:  Tom Tancredo Announcing Appointments.  For most of the day, according to one of our statcounters, it was one of the most-clicked links on our site.

The blog post was accompanied by a cute picture of a chicklet amidst a sea of unhatched eggs.  You get the point.  A commenter on the story said of the would-be appointees, “Good luck guys….don’t quit your day job.”

Perhaps the story that’s being missed is this:

Tancredo may be trying to get across that he is doing what Dan Maes cannot.  Now that Maes has been so thoroughly abandoned by most experienced lawmakers and policymakers across the state, how could he possibly form a competent and efficient government?  Who would serve?

    I kind of like that he is doing this. I always wished that presidents would doe this during the elections. Sort of a “I admit I don’t know everything, but I am smart enough to recruit people who are experts in their fields.” I’m not sure it would have made any difference, but if we had know who Obama’s appointments were going to be before hand fewer people might have believed his hope and change thing.

    False argument: who would serve. Who would during a time of low success against a former politician who lied? I think he has become what was said of him at the beginning of him threatening the GOP candidates McInnis and Maes: a polarizing figure and a spoiler.

    Tancredo still won’t win and all these pro-Tancredo supporters with all their vitriol has succeeded in doing is splitting the vote and splitting the liberty movement literally in half (cite: Governor’s Poll for the 9-12/Tea Party groups).
