Brownback’s campaign is accusing Tom Tancredo of accepting campaign contributions from the founder of a Planned Parenthood chapter in Michigan<\/a>. Why is he even bothering with Tancredo? Why not knock someone who has an actual chance at winning? And why does he think that he will benefit? What about Huckabee or Hunter?<\/p>\n

Brownback has criticized Tancredo for accepting campaign contributions from Dr John Tanton, founder of a Planned Parenthood chapter in Michigan. His campaign has been making automated calls to Iowa voters demanding that Tancredo donate the money to an Iowa Crisis Pregnancy Center. “Say no to Tom Tancredo and his Planned Parenthood friend and help end abortion in America,” the caller says. Tanton is also a prominent anti-immigration activist.<\/p>\n

“The facts are clear: Tom Tancredo says he is committed to being pro- life but has accepted thousands of dollars from the founder of a major Planned Parenthood network,” Brownback spokesman John Rankin said. “The only inaccuracy in this matter is Tom Tancredo’s hysterical and disingenuous distortion of Senator Brownback’s record.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
