There is no doubt that Tom Tancredo's recent comments on Delay has caused a bit of a huge stir among many but I still support Congressman Tom Tancredo's fight to end our illegal immigration crisis. Tom Tancredo is just as conservative as Tom Delay but Tancredo is far more conservative than Delay on the immigration and free-trade issues.
The seriousness to combat illegal immigration will be muted if Tom Tancredo is not in the House of Representives. It was a bit of a surprise for me to see Tom Tancredo have a personal opinion of Tom Delay. I know that every single "politican" of both parties have flaws. Tom Tancredo as well as Tom Delay are no exception.
Both Delay and Tancredo make mistakes when it comes to personal statements that upsets people but we need realize that both Delay and Tancredo are human beings and human beings are prone to mistakes.

Well you don't give your poltical enemies(mainstream media) the bat to beat you with.
Oh wait a minute yes you do, if your name is tom tancredo and major in the art of backstabbing.
Tancredo has shown that he is for Tancredo first and a Republican second. The notion that Tancredo is "superman" as far as illegal immigration is concerned is bogus.
Unity of purpose is the key in any battle.
Perhaps Tancredo, reeling from the "kryptonite", will simply shut up for a while and stay in Colorado until he gets better.
Well, I think I'll do a copy and paste of my ping last night on another thread that says a lot of what I think of this BS smear attempt of Tom Delay.http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1385076/posts?page=110#110
Tancredo Statement on Majority Leader Tom DeLay
(from his own website)I JUST NOW fired off my email to President Bush, VP Cheney, Ken Mehlman and others regarding my demand to SUPPORT Tom Delay.
I am really on a tear over this issue. If we can't support our LEADERSHIP in the GOP, then we are going to have major problems down the road.
We ALL need to jump on this and contact EVERYBODY we can to get this message to the party leadership LOUD and CLEAR.
My email to President Bush, VP Cheney, Ken Mehlman and others regarding Tom Delay:
My Dear President Bush, V.P. Cheney and Mr. Mehlman, et al:
I am quite disappointed in some of the Republicans reactions to the Democrats and media attacks on MY House Leader Tom Delay.
Tom Tancredo's press release was VERY disappointing ( http://tancredo.house.gov/pressers/04.15.05%20Tancredo%20Statement%20on%20DeLay.htm ).
In a nutshell, let me say that I would desire the Republicans to come forward and support Tom Delay 100%. He has done NOTHING wrong, either morally or ethically or legally. The Democrats and the media have been UNRELENTING in their unwarranted attacks against Mr. Delay.
Below, you will find my letters sent to Tom Tancredo and to Tom Delay regarding these baseless attacks on Tom Delay.
I STRONGLY urge you to come forward with your full support of Tom Delay at every opportunity. An immediate press release expressing such support would be very gratifying and reassuring for me to see from each of you. I have been a straight ticket GOP voter for some years now. I HOPE to remain so, and hope to get YOUR support on this issue that is very important to me.
Thank you.
Here are my letters to Tom Tancredo and to Tom Delay sent today:
My Dear Congressman Tancredo:
I saw your note regarding Tom Delay today on your link:
http://tancredo.house.gov/pressers/04.15.05%20Tancredo%20Statement%20on%20DeLay.htm
I am quite disappointed. I think that you and ALL Republicans should stand behind Tom Delay 100%. He has done NOTHING wrong and has stood FIRM for Republican ideals for many years and deserves our support.
I would strongly urge you to reconsider your wobbly position and put out a more positive position of support for Tom Delay.
Below is a copy of MY LETTER of support to Tom Delay.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
-----------------------------------------------------------
My Dear Representative Delay:
I have been noticing all the undeserved and unwarranted personal attacks on you by the Democrats and the media. I despise them for that.
I just wanted to send you a short note to let you know that I support you 100% and strongly urge you to stand firm and keep doing the right things. You are an effective leader and doing a great job for your constituents. That is why they are attacking. That, and the fact that they have ZERO ideas or posititive initiatives to bring to the table. Attack! Attack! Attack! That's all they know. They are despicable.
Hang in there my dear sir. We need you to stay on as the House Majority Leader.
Very sincerely,
