"He doesn't want to debate democrats, now what am I supposedto make of that?"
How about he, like most of us believes the Repubs are SUPPOSED to be strong on security issues like the border.

This is more grandstanding by Tancredo. He cheers up his base, but that's it.
You don't accomplish anything in politics by attacking your allies.
