I have never - in all my adult voting life - been a single-issue voter. Not on a municipal, county, state, or federal level. But Tom Tancredo is about to get my support - and money - in '08 if the limp-pizzles in The Party Of Lincoln don't come up with a 'national' candidate to make me change my mind.

But Tom Tancredo is about to get my support

It's not as cut and dry as you think. The below is from a recent Fox/Opinion Dynamics poll.

Opinion is divided on eliminating public assistance, such as education and health benefits, to illegal immigrants and their children. Forty-three percent of Americans favor stopping public assistance for illegal immigrants, while 45 percent oppose it.

Even so, a 62 percent majority, including almost equal majorities of Democrats (65 percent) and Republicans (62 percent), favors allowing illegal immigrants who have jobs in the United States to apply for legal, temporary worker status

Also tancredo is a backstabber to Tom Delay, with his saying Delay should step aside, all for the glow of the liberal media cameras.
