01/07/08 - A Reader Wonders If
Brenda Walker Undercounts Immigrants From
Terrorist-Supporting States
A Reader Asks: Why Didn’t Epstein Tell Full Story About Tancredoism?
From:
Alan Baumgartner
Re:
Marcus Epstein’s Column:
A Victory For Tancredoism?
In his recent column, Epstein conveniently obviates
the fact that the big champion against immigration
U.S. Rep.Tom Tancredo has his pledged support for
the sellout
Mitt Romney, thus showing that when push
comes to shove every phony dissident candidate in our
system will end up aligning himself with the
establishment.
While Tancredo has a good program when it comes to
immigration, let's not forget he is also a huge
warmonger and supporter of the
neocon plan to reshape the Middle East at the
expense of American blood and money.
Tancredo supported President Bush's push for war from
day one.
I wonder why Epstein portrays Tancredo as an ideal
candidate for VDARE.COM readers while at the same time
he questions
Ron Paul's current stance on immigration.
Everyone knows
Paul's views on the issue have evolved and he is now
adamantly opposed to illegal immigration. If this came
from
any other candidate, I wouldn't believe him.
Paul, however, has a track record of honesty, unlike
Tancredo with his baffling support for Romney and Bush.
Epstein is guilty of being selective with his facts.
Baumgartner adds that
his letter should not be construed as a plug for Paul
and that he may not vote in the 2008 election at all,
such is his disappointment with the candidates.
Marcus Epstein writes:
Discussing Tom
Tancredo is more appropriate because VDARE.COM focuses
solely on immigration and the national question, and
Tancredo made immigration the centerpiece of his
campaign, not his “warmongering”. In contrast,
Paul has made his opposition to the war the centerpiece
of his campaign, not immigration.
