It was a great event. This article does not capture the electricity that was in that room when Tancredo spoke. Oh my...he's got many supporters down here in Cochise County.

Plus, my comments made the front page again. Woo-hoo!

Tancredo is one of the few politicians I can respect. He puts American first.

Does that make you the darling of the Arizona press, the man to interview, the guy with the always quotable quotes, etc.? ;^)

Wish I could've been there.

Here in Arkansas, the local GOP arranged to have him as a speaker, and the word is that Bush and Rove got the Arkansas GOP to lean on him so heavily that they postponed the event, presumably to a time that he cannot make it.

I am glad to see that not all buckle under.

I have been doing quite a bit of research on the history of immigration policy and found this. I thought you might find the following interesting in light of the current immigration proposal; taking into consideration the Reconquista revolutionaries. This is a quote from the Congressional Record during the debates on immigration in 1953, I think it bears repeating (I inserted Mexico in italics) :

"....we in the United States today hard-core, indigestible blocs which have not become integrated into the American way of life, but which, on the contrary are its deadly enemies. Today, as never before, untold millions are storming our gates for admission and those gates are cracking under the stain. The solution of the problems of Europe and Asia (insert Mexico)will not come though a transplanting of those problems en masse to the United States... I do not intend to become prophetic, but if the enemies of this legislation succeed in riddling it to pieces, or in amending it beyond recognition, they will have contributed more to promote this nation's downfall than any other group since we achieved our independence as a nation."

I wonder if Tancredo knows how many of us plan to write him in for President this November.

Without weighing in on the immigration issue or any other substantive issue, the fact that Tancredo assembled a crowd of 200 is not what I'd call "flexing political muscle."

Kudos to you Spiff! And Tancredo is acting like he's stumping for President, wonder where he got that idea?
