Tancredo BUMP
He himself doesn't want that.
Got my vote!!
Did someone mention the collapse of the Roman empire?
Of the handful of notable politicians I've met and talked to at length Tom Tancredo is the only one who didn't set off the "Spider-Sense" warning of impending danger. He's totally grounded in the higher principles of Catholic moral values while recognizing that the Church's pushing for amnesty is just plain wrong - he's an American before anything else.
More importantly, I realized that he was living closer to his convictions far closer than I was abiding to mine, which mandated a self-review and shoring up. How many people can say they met a person in the political field who's faith and struggle for goodness inspired them to get more right with God?
I'll be writing him into the Primary (again) if his name isn't on the ballot.
I don't care if he runs as a Republican or not, I'll WRITE HIM IN if I have to!
