This may not win Hispanic votes today but, at some point the immigrates become American. This is when the Hispanics will what the wall built. Remember Mexico has there own immigration problem. Good fences make good neighbors. If you don't believe that to be true, turn your house into a homeless shelter.

Unless you count keeping Kerry, Kennedy, Pelosi, Boxer, etc and so forth, away from the levers of power as being a waste of time, I don't know that I can agree with that. :P

You don't always have to go to the establishment, "electable" Republican. Remember Ronnie wasn't mainstream republicanism. "Mainstream" was Gerry Ford and Papa Bush. Ronnie won two big landslides because he was a leader with ideas. He sold the ideas to America.

The difference is being a LEADER versus a politican.

I don't know enough about Tancredo's other positions yet, but his actions prove some tanacity. Other worthwhile congressmen are Curt Weldon for pressing on about Able Danger in lieu of mass resistance, and senator Jon Kyl from OK who tried to stand up to massive pork, but got lambasted by members of both parties. Norm Coleman is doing a good job firing at the useless UN.

McCain is nothing, and please no Jeb.

I'm not sure who I'd recommend at this point, but I would say this, now is the time to be organizing all of this, because 2008 will come up fast.

The day the Constitution Party makes an effort to go door to door and TALK to people, holds barbeques, and makes a serious effort to get people elected to offices other than the Presidency, then I'll take them seriously.

[Barney Gumble]

Exactly! Republicans need remember who brings them to the dance.

Kudos to Tancredo who voices the position of the average American on this issue, a position they will not hear voiced by Bush, Frist, Hastert, etc., etc.

I will not support a candidate who will not pledge to close the border.

"While the Colorado congressman's message might win votes as a hot-button issue in 2008 and 2012, Mr. McIntyre said, demographic trends suggested the position might prove electoral poison in 2016 and beyond as the American electorate becomes increasingly Hispanic"

If true, perhaps we can jot down 2016 as the likely end date for the USA: the date after which sovereignty will no longer be supported by the electorate.

1776-2016: 240 years. Better than many nations last, though not stellar in the grand scheme.

Well, Europe, of course, will be dead by then too, buried under a heap of Islam...leaving maybe Australia and Iceland to burn the Western Civ. candle for a few final years.

Is this an outcome you fear? If so, then it would contradict what you said at #117. If you want to have some credibility on this subject, it might help to remain consistent.

YOU'VE GOT TO STAND FOR SOMETHING, OR YOU'LL FALL FOR ANYTHING!!

Yep. And divided we're conquered by Hillary and the Dimwits.

[inquest]

Just like her husband "conquered" us?

[Mulch]

Either way, Tancredo will be wielding quite a bit of power over the election. People who want illegals deported, and thats about 99% of Americans, will vote for whoever Tancredo supports.

In 2016 I'm voting Republican because at that point the Republican Platform will support a more measured form of training in homosexual acts for primary school students.

Unlike the Democrat Platform, the Republican's will not support fisting.

[dagnabbit]

LOL !

[inquest]

And the Democrats will savage them as intolerant because of it. But the Republicans will stand their ground.

The more people simply up and decide they're not going to play the game anymore, the more the hacks will have to bring themselves to heel. It's so simple, but apparently too complicated for so many people around here.

Not at all. There are too many hacks around here. And they like things just the way they are.
