Looks like royal wannabe tom tancredo was not amused at Mike Pence's common sense approach.
Tepid.
And Sensenbrener may have put together good legislation with HR 4437, but his overall record on immigration issues is questionable. Some of his recent votes and sponsorships demonstrate this:
2005-2006: Cosponsoring H.R. 3402 that contains provisions to reward illegal aliens with amnesty Rep. Sensenbrenner is a cosponsor of H.R. 3402. Title IX of H.R. 3402 loosens the rules governing visas for victims of trafficking and domestic violence and their families and would reward certain illegal aliens with amnesty.
2005-2006: Cosponsoring H.R. 3402 that contains provision to increase chain migration Rep. Sensenbrenner is a cosponsor of H.R. 3402. Title IX of H.R. 3402 loosens the rules governing visas for victims of trafficking and domestic violence and their families, resulting in an increase in chain migration.
According to Americans for Better Immigration (an organization which supports immigration law enforcement and border security) he ranks 51st among House Republicans on the immigration issue. He gets kudos for HR 4437, but not much else.
Further, his conservative ratings from various conservative organizations are even more lackluster than Cannon's and certainly nowhere near as good as Rep. Tancredo's ratings.
An endorsement from Rep. Sensenbrenner, especially a tpid one, is not all that valuable.
I am relatively undecided on this Cannon thing but your defense of him in the face of massive evidence that he is pro-amnesty has been to repeat "Sensenbrenner has endorsed him" 20 times in a row. So what? Incumbent ongresscritters will have each others back even if they disagree on everything (See: Specter/Santorum). This proves nothing.
If you can address the actual substance of their attacks -- the amnesty bills he has voted for or sponsored -- it might be a bit more convincing.

Actually it wasn't 20 times in a row, but Sensenbrenner's words say a lot.
Look we can't do a Vulcan mind meld 24/7 with every Congresscritter, but have to rely on the words of people who actually work in Congress.
I;ll trust Sensenbrenner's opinion than the tancredo/bay buchanan opinion any day of the week.
Whether or not she assisted with conservative Pat Buchanan's third party campaign does not change the fact that Bay Buchanan is a conservative Republican.
And, by the way, a quick Google search shows that the only people attacking Bay Buchanan are the KOS and DU leftist fringers and YOU. Birds of a feather... Yet, they do it on their own leftist forums. You, instead, abuse this conservative forum to attack conservatives.
Save for later
"...but have to rely on the words of people who actually work in Congress."
Where does Tancredo work currently?
Pence's approach was novel and well-meant. But it, in fact, undermined the security first approach of the already passed HR 4437. Rep. Tancredo did come down a bit hard on Rep. Pence. But, among border security/immigration reform advocates who have worked so hard to get good legislation passed, the Pence plan went over like a fart in church.
JMO, for bay buchanan.
Good morning whiner. What's the matter, someone kick your dog?
Okay, it's now official. Dane has overdosed.
You're not even responding to the facts anymore. All I hear is hyperbole mixed with the same tired parroted lines. You haven't really responded to anything posted by me or others in this thread.
JMO and I would also say general opinion on FR, is that you and tom tancredo have overdosed on bay buchanan rhetoric.
Being bitter all the time like bay buchanan, tom tancredo, and hillary is not a good thing for the mind or body.
Same thing you've been told, over & over......
Sheesh.....Dane has gotten so *bitter*, HE will post a thread, & nearly every one of HIS replies includes a RANT against Tancredo.
Even tho Tancredo's name isn't even mentioned in DANE's own article.
Seems DANE is so bitter he can't stay on topic in his own threads.
Uh I'm not the one so bitter to set up a PAC(ala tancredo/bay buchanan) to defeat a good conservative, Chris Cannon, who has gotten a glowing endorsement from another good conservative, James Sensenbrenner.
It defies the laws of physics just how much fecal matter you are full of. You are so full of crap that you threaten to collapse in upon yourself and form a black hole. Hmmm... Maybe that's already happened as truth and light seem to be swallowed up around you and you suck more than anyone else I've encountered on Free Republic.
No, the illegal alien who mows his lawn got arrested for drunk driving Friday night and didn't show up for work yesterday.
Get backs on your meds, next you'll be claiming PAC stands for 'People Against Cannon'.
Last I heard our pols have a right to support a candidate, same as the voters do.
You are wasting your breath arguing again Mr.FR (Dane) Openborders.
For whatever reason he wants the flood of illegals to continue, and all illegals to be granted amnesty. If you doubt what I say, check his profile and previous posts.
Some religous communities shun or ignore those who are continually wrongheaded and prone to stirring up trouble. Maybe that's a good idea in this case.
