Two Republicans that I do admire are Tom Tancredo and Ron Paul.
My local Congressman, Elton Gallegly, has been in Washington for 18 years, and he was trying to close the border long before anyone heard of Tancredo.
I admire Ron Paul. I like how he gets Greenspan squirming. He's the only one of the Congressional knuckleheads who has a problem with the massive monetary growth.
