Tan Nguyen is on The Larry Elder Show on KABC 790 as I post this.
I can't believe Larry Elder is buying into Tan's con.
The call-in number is 1-877-995-2779. I tried calling in hopes of getting this clown to answer some questions, but the lines are jammed with what sounds like all of his supporters.
That's pretty simple to do. Campaigns do it all the time when they know their candidate is going to be on a show. You line up your staff and volunteers to call prior to the beginning of the segment and block out genuine callers who might ask an embarrassing question.
UPDATE: Tan just said going into Iraq was a mistake and called for withdrawing ground troops from Iraq. And Elder -- who's a small "l" libertarian made a comment that sounded like Tan adopts a government-centered approach to healthcare for seniors. Doesn't sound like Tan's conversion to the GOP was very genuine.
It says on the website there's an Internet re-broadcast at 9:00 a.m. that should be worth a listen.
I sent Larry Elder an e-mail this morning informing him that Tan Nguyen is less of a Republican than a political opportunist. Tan Nguyen didn't switch parties because he no longer believes in the platform of the Democratic party. He switched parties because it was his best shot at being elected.
I received this response from Larry Elder:
"Several people have alerted me to this, and I'll address this today."
Tan Nguyen's principles aren't nearly as strong as his political ambition.

Larry is too busy talking over people to let anyone say anything of substance.
Why people listen to blowhards like he and Limbaugh and Hannity and O'Reilly is one of our current society's great mysteries.

Anyone who believes Elder is a libertarian clearly has their head up their bum. This includes Elder himself.

I was disappointed with Elders. He was an idiot for taking Tan seriously.
