Senator Brownback ‘as left as they come’

WASHINGTON — It’s a rare day when Sam Brownback is denounced as a radical left-winger.

But that’s what happened Tuesday on an issue that has riven the Republican Party and threatens to remain controversial through the 2008 presidential campaign: illegal immigration.

Brownback, the senior senator from Kansas and putative presidential hopeful, is considered among the Senate’s most conservative Republicans. His hopes for the GOP presidential nod rest largely on uniting conservative activists around his candidacy.

Nevertheless, he was the subject of a withering attack from the right leveled by Rep. Tom Tancredo, a Colorado Republican.

Tancredo, chairman of the House Immigration Reform Caucus, slammed Brownback as “an extreme opponent of getting tough on illegal immigration” with a “miserable record.”

A Tancredo spokesman later upped the ante by calling Brownback “as left as they come on this issue.”

If Brownback is left, where does that put you and me??

6. I think that pushes us completely off the political map!

I'm still laughing at the "Brownback is far left" comment.
