So, remove the \tabskip command and put spaces by hand.
Some spaces are coming from your absolute positionning.
Here is an example with no space.
You can add some by playing with positionning or with the \hskip
commands in the \halign

\documentclass[letterpaper]{article}
\usepackage[absolute]{textpos}
\setlength{\TPHorizModule}{1bp}
\setlength{\TPVertModule}{\TPHorizModule}
\setlength{\parindent}{0pt}
\setlength{\unitlength}{1bp}
\pagestyle{empty}
\usepackage[paperwidth=252.000000bp,paperheight=144.000000bp]{geometry}

\begin{document}
\raggedright
\fontsize{7.000000}{9.000000}\selectfont{}
\begin{textblock}{96}(36,76)
This is several lines of text on the left side of the card.  The lines
should align with the tabbed environment on the right.
\end{textblock}

%% Below 132 = 96+36 (144 before)
\begin{textblock}{67.5}(132,76)%% <- here
\halign{\hskip0mm{#}&\hskip0mm\hbox to 47bp{#}\cr
248.358.4420& office\cr
123.456.7891& direct\cr
123.456.7892& cell\cr
248.358.1969& fax\cr
}
\end{textblock}
\end{document}
