"He should ask Zell MIller to run as his VP...A split ticket ;^)"

Oops, you forgot something. Zell Miller has values, Tancredo is just another loose cannon - firing away! Why would Zell Miller want to blow his credibility!?!

"Too bad Tancredo committed political suicide by proposing to nuke Mecca."

IMO, the only people who'd dismiss Tancredo on the basis of those (taken-out-of-context) comments are people who believe political correctness should trump national defense.

Ann Coulter said we should invade all Muslim nations, kill their leaders, and convert them to Christianity. A week later she went on and dated a Muslim. None of this even slowed down her cult of worship.

Nice to see the language improve here.
It makes your arguement so much more reasoned.
I want the border closed. I want a fence. I want to see existing laws enforced. Employers that knowing use illegals should pay a heavy fine or jail. I want illegals, when they are caught, sent home.
But, unlike some, if I can`t get it all, I`ll take what I can get now and keep trying.
Rep. Tancredo has a different agenda and it came out today 5 minutes after Bush`s speech. See, here`s what the "true believers" don`t understand, the Trancredo`s of this world don`t really care if they solve problems, no, instead they want to use the problem to advance themselves.If Tancredo, for example, wanted to solve the problem he would be working with the Adminisration instead of immediately attacking as he did today. But, if he wants an issue that will put him in front of the cameras, help him raise money, and, maybe, help him win higher office, then, to hell with everything else, he attacks.
The Congress will change the immagration laws next year. They will spend more money on the border. Do any of you think that Tancredo will be in the room when the bills are writen?

Zell Miller's "values" changed the moment he decided against running for re-election and no longer needed to pander to the RATs base. Prior to that, he was pro-abortion, pro-Max Cleland, anti-Clinton impeachment, etc., etc.

And you say TOM lacks credebility? Zell gives a good speech, but the fact is HE left the Dem party, not vice versa. He was loyal to their "cause" when they were all abortion luvin peacenick McGovern fanatics.

Is taking statements out of context your hobby?

Ann Coulter is not a Presidential hopeful, though.

Unfortunately, that is more than half the country. Remember that about 1/2 the country is Dem, and another 20% or so is RINO.

Oh well...it's pretty obvious that you just can't get the Keyester stain off even the longer termed FReepers! Must be the political in-breeding that comes naturally in Illinois.

Tancredo reminds me a lot of Buccannon, neither can be elected, both don`t work well with others and don`t accomplish much, and in the end , hurt Republicans.

Thank you bybybill for your resounding endorsement of Tom Tancredo. It's always nice to see someone in the Republican Party to factually recommend a strong candidate for President.

Again, thank you as I will be supporting Tom Tancredo in the primaries.

The illegal immigration issue cuts across traditional political labels. Tancredo may be able to attract a huge segment of the labor union vote and maybe even the black vote if they get angry enough about being displaced in New Orleans. I think about the only Americans who don't agree with Tancredo's position on illegal immigration are the La Raza types, the far left and the RINO Chamber of Commerce wing of the Republican Party. If he can make illegal immigration the central issue in the next elections he will be able to make a decent run of it.

It should be made a felony for Criminals who overstay there legal visas and Invaders.

I believe we should give amnesty to these poor CRIMINALS or INVADERS.
This should be a 2 week amnesty to get the heck out of our Country.
The ones who ignore this amnesty should be buried in a tent city jail and fined $10,000 or buried elsewhere.
All aiders and abettors of these CRIMINALS or INVADERS should get 1 year in a tent city jail and a $10,000 fine for each CRIMINAL aided.
Those in government should be the first ones charged.

Note the 10 most wanted in texas, they are marked white males but this is just another government cover up of what is happening.

At least eight of them look hispanic. It's the same thing in California. They're identified as "white males".

We hear everything about "hispanic rights", yet the government won't admit that a high percentage of criminals are hispanic.

I believe this scam comes from the national crime reporting statistics database which I believe is maintained by the FBI. There is no Hispanic category when it comes to reporting criminal perpetrators. The little Hispanic check box is "missing". But there is a Hispanic category when it comes to crime victims. This makes it officially impossible for a Hispanic to commit a crime but easy for Hispanics to be victims. I have seen it speculated that the reason for this deception is to artificially inflate white crime statistics so that people do not realize the huge imbalance between white and minority committed crimes.

Strong candidate, Tom Tancredo, you mean stupid candidate don`t you? The guy is all hot air and has as much chance to be elected POTUS as Saddamn. Just like Pat, it`s all about him.

"If the Republican Party can't get their membership to help halt the invasion of our southern border, then they DESERVE to be hurt."

If the Republican Party can't get their head out of their arses long enough to halt the invasion of our southern border, then they DESERVE to be hurt.

There, fixed it for you :)

I think the great majority of the Republican Rank and File DO want to halt the invasion.

It's the jackasses in DC (starting with the White House) that don't want to fix it.
