In an interview, he said he wants three things:

• "A secure border, including the application of military assets until the time when the border patrol can be brought up to speed on it."

• "Aggressively go after all employers who are illegally hiring people who are undocumented because (employers) are the demand side of the problem."

• "No amnesty of any kind, shape or variety."

I am behind these three 100%, even though I'm still cool on Tancredo for betraying Tom DeLay.

Tancredo in 2008! If he is on the ballot for any party he will get my vote! The only reason he will be on the ballot as a third party will be if the Republicans choose a quisling like McCain. If the GOP makes that choice then they deserve Hellory.

Actually I don't expect that Tancredo will be on the ballot but nonetheless I expect that he will play an important role in the process and he is going to get my support financially and otherwise.

The Republican Party needs to gather a clue and secure the borders. Both President Bush and Tom Delay betrayed Tancredo before he betrayed him. Tancredo is about the only person in the Republican Party that is actually looking out for America and Americans.

Cong. Tancredo is as solidly conservative as any likley candidate for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination.

In May 3, 2005, Cong. Tancredo received one of the "Best & Brightest" awards from the American Conservative Union (ACU). The ACU recognized those members of the U.S. Congress who recorded a perfect score of one hundred percent (100%) in the ACU ratings. Here is a link to the ACU's web page with photos of May 3, 2005, ceremony at which the "Best & Brightest" awards were given: http://conservative.org/pressroom/bestbrightest.asp . The ACU ratings are based on how representatives voted during twenty-five (25) votes. Cong. Tancredo achieved his perfect score with none of the votes having anything to do with immigration.

In March 2005, Cong. Tancredo received the "Taxpayers' Friend Award" from the National Taxypayers Union (NTU). According to the NTU, Cong. Tancredo was given an "A" rating by the NTU for being one of the strongest supporters of responsible tax and spending policies in Congress. Here is a link to the NTU's list of "2004 Taxpayer Friends": http://www.ntu.org/main/page.php?PageID=75 . Cong. Tancredo ranked twelth (12th) highest in the entire House of Representatives in NTU's ratings.

Cong. Tancredo is strongly pro-life. Cong. Tancredo was rated 0% by NARAL in December 2003. Here is a link to a website that provides a list of ten (10) votes by Cong. Tancredo on the subject of abortion: http://www.ontheissues.org/House/Tom_Tancredo.htm . It also provides a list of votes on many other subjects.

Works for me.

A Tancredo candidacy = a Hillary Presidency. But if you want some of the immigration threads, that is EXACTlY what some want.

I guess a guy like Tancredo gets the truer colors to come out ya know?

We should keep in mind that the term "republican" is not synonymous with "conservative".

The American Conservative Union, rates Tancredo at 100%, like it or not.
