because up to this point it's been downright collegial
While he was doing his publicity lap, Tancredo told Wolf Blitzer (on, um, CNN) that the spinelessness he was concerned about belonged to the "weak sisters" who are the Republican front runners.
Nice to see a campaign stay positive, don't you think?
Fred Thompson aired the first negative television ad in the 2008 Republican presidential campaign race, using the CNN/YouTube debate Wednesday to deliver a double broadside against Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee.

Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Colo.) unveiled a television ad Monday that shows a terrorist preparing to blow up a shopping mall.
In the spot, a hooded figure is carrying a backpack filled with explosives into a mall; the ad ends with the sound of an explosion. In the ad, which will initially air in Iowa but will also be shown in New Hampshire and nationally, Tancredo is linking terrorism to the country’s porous borders.
...“There are consequences to open borders beyond the 20 million aliens who have come to take our jobs,” a narrator says. “Islamic terrorists now freely roam U.S. soil, Jihadists who froth with hate, here to do as they have in London, Spain, Russia.”
Before the explosion is heard and the screen fades to black, the narrator indicates that a terrorist attack is the “price we pay for spineless politicians who refuse to defend our borders against those who come to kill.”
...In a dig at former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who is running for the GOP nod in part on the name recognition and accolades he received for guiding New York through the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, Tancredo says in the radio ad that “leadership is about more than taking action after an attack, it’s about doing everything in your power to stop it, and I mean everything.”
While he was doing his publicity lap, Tancredo told Wolf Blitzer (on, um, CNN) that the spinelessness he was concerned about belonged to the "weak sisters" who are the Republican front runners.
