(No peace in our times, says The Tanc – Promoted by Colorado Pols)
Since the news broke on this blog Nov. 6 that he was forming a "Stop Chris Christie PAC," former congressman Tom Tancredo has been on the interview circuit bashing the New Jersey Governor and filling in a few details about what, specifically, Tancredo hopes to do with his anti-Christie PAC–which Tancredo established in response to Christie's nasty ad campaign against Tancredo this June, arguably derailing a Tancredo victory in Colorado's GOP gubernatorial primary.
Asked by MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell Nov. 12 what his PAC will do, Tancredo said:
Tancredo: "Were going to do whatever we can with whatever money we can garner. We will place ads. I’ll open offices if I can in Iowa and New Hampshire. We'll be there when he’s there. My whole effort is to make sure the Republicans voting in those primaries know who this guy is because I have a feeling he’s going to try present a totally different picture to them."
Listening to Tancredo, you get the feeling he wants his PAC to become anti-Christie central, accumulating whatever is available from whomever is available, to knock Christie out of the presidential race.
"I’ll tell you, that once you start something like this [PAC], you learn a lot of stuff about the guy, from people who don’t like him. And there are a lot!" Tancredo told KNUS 710-AM host Chuck Bonniwell Nov. 15. "Oh, my goodness! It is amazing. And they all write you, like, 'I can’t–.' You know, 'Don’t tell anybody because he’ll come after me! He’ll indict me!' I mean, which he has done. That has been his modus operandi."
In most interviews, Tancredo acknowledges his personal beef with Christie, whose Republican Governors' Association funneled money through another organization to attack Tancredo, but Tancredo says the real issue Christie's blue-blooded, not-so-conservative interior.

Nationwide election of a pol from New Jersey who sounds like a refugee from The Sopranos TV series? No PAC necessary. He won't get the nomination. Never gonna happen. Fuhgeddaboudit. But of course this stop Christie crusade is just more Tanc extending his D-list wacko rightie celeb career.
No PAC necessary? Agreed!
However, that's not what this is about. Tanchez smells the opportunity to suck some money out of the Cruz campaign war chest, all for the benefit of Tanchez . . . kind of ironic isn't it?
He's got to keep doing something to attract coverage and invites to speak at wacko events in order to continue his career as the D-list lipstick free Palin. It's a living.
Add to that he’s a RINO on social issues and this has all the trappings of the Second Coming of Rudy Giuliani.
You mean the guy who ran in the done deal Giuliani/HRC 2008 match up? And won because he was the hero of 9/11? Or am I confusing my space time continuums?
BINGO! Same guy. Noun + verb + 9/11
Seeing the two of them on stage, next to each other would be worth encouraging the guy to go for it.
