A non-starter, realistically speaking. The Pubbies need the Hispanic vote to win, and if that means selling out to illegals, so be it.

one potential candidate has no expectation of winning

Sadly, some FReepers never learn that chasing windmills is a pointless exercise.

I want the border shut down now and all illegals deported. That doesn't mean I'd support Tancredo in a lost cause candidacy.

[The Old Hoosier]

He won't win, but he could ensure that McCain wins.

[LdSentinal]

He also said several months ago that he wasn't running.

Anti-Illegal Immigration 2008 Campaign.

[taxed2death]

No bias there (the headline). No mention of ILLEGAL immigration.


Sheeeesh.

[American Quilter]

While the Colorado congressman's message might win votes as a hot-button issue in 2008 and 2012, Mr. McIntyre said, demographic trends suggested the position might prove electoral poison in 2016 and beyond as the American electorate becomes increasingly Hispanic, and if the Tancredo platform paints national Republicans as "anti-immigrant."

Tom Tancredo is a true conservative who stands on principle regardless of the prevailing political fads. It's my perception that McIntyre is underestimating the growing swell of concern among Americans of all races including Hispanics, about illegal immigration.

[injin]

I would vote for this man .
He is right on in many regards .
He responds personally those that write him as well.
Not up in some lofty tower.....

MSM Bias at its finest:

As Republicans look to the 2008 primaries in search of a candidate whose credentials and personality can triumph over Senator Clinton

Automatically assuming that billary will win over any republican candidate and that she has personality. Nice job MSM

[rlmorel]

I need to know:

Is Tancredo running on an ANTI-IMMIGRATION campaign?
Or and ANTI-ILLEGAL-IMMIGRATION campaign?

This is a most interesting smear if Tancredo is really for the latter.

We know Tancredo is against bilingual education and multiculturalism.

Given what is happening in Europe, we know Multiculturalism is a sure recipe for disaster.

What is more important is what he is for. He is for assimilation and integration of legal immigrants who arrive in this country on the basis of a sound immigration process.

Tancredo Plots Anti-Immigration 2008 Campaign

Missing key word:

Tancredo Plots Anti-ILLEGAL Immigration

Typical MSM spin trying to make Conservatives our to be racist, xenophobic, anti-immigration nutjobs.

[dagnabbit]

Well after 16 years of Clinton policies, maybe it's time for a Tancredo candidacy.

[Admin Moderator]

Do you have a link and source for this?
Thanks.

[Brilliant]

Unfortunately, it won't get him anywhere.

[God luvs America]

is there a link to this story??

[wolfcreek]

I'm thinking Mr. Tancredo knows this issue is important to many Americans on both side of the asile but, I'm not sure it would get him elected.

[calrighty]

"While the Colorado congressman's message might win votes as a hot-button issue in 2008 and 2012, Mr. McIntyre said, demographic trends suggested the position might prove electoral poison in 2016 and beyond as the American electorate becomes increasingly Hispanic"

The country will be totally polarized by then so there will be nothing worth saving anyway...who cares?

[spectre]

IF our Republican Candidate skirts the Illegal Invasion issue, and doesn't promise to protect our Borders, then I'll vote for Tancredo, rather than not vote at all.

I'd rather President Bush do something well before the next election, but it doesn't look promising for that to happen..
