Tancredo running as a third-party candidate would scare the bageebees out of the republicans since they are well aware of what happened to them when Perot ran. I thin they'll be wiser this time and make nice with Tancredo.
Do not forget the Black vote as there is a deep anger at the hispanics and their Dem allies riding roughshod over the Black community
I have been in several meetings here in California where Dem representatives, Dem BLACK representatives, have been shouted down when they try to sell that "we need to form coalitions with the hispanics" bunkum
The Black vote is up for grabs in 2008
Remember,you heard it here first. Black - hispanic tensions can be translated into votes
Nothing gets by you!
So is it OK to keep increasing the size of this liberal voting block, since in two national elections, the block was still too small to ensure liberal victory?
Of course the Tancredo Cult on FR thinks he will get 99% of the vote because in their minds they represent the vast majority of voters. If they did, John Kerry would have won in 2004 because Tancredo would have received millions of write in votes. Neither happened.
The sad thing is the Tancredo Cult viciously attacks anyone who doesn't worship the man and accuses them of supporting illegal immigration. They're obviously too dense to realize that some people just don't like Tancredo because he is as much of a loose cannon as Howard Dean and is as self obsessed as Bill Clinton. He called for Tom Delay to resign (long before Ronnie Earle issued his bogus indictments) and is big buddies with a man who wants to destroy the Republican Party. His position on immigration immaterial when it comes to the opinion of the man.
Voting Constitution Party is akin to thinking you can defy gravity.
The old bend over line of thinking. The Tancredo's and the 3rd parties on the conservative side only show up when there is discontent with the Republicans. I refuse to fear someone taking office like a Dem or McCain because I decided to actually vote for someone I like.
After two speeches I saw Weldon make last week I'm much less enamored of him. Tancredo is not a politician (in the strictist sense of the word) and I like that. When he went head to head with the WH over immigration and was purposely not invited to the WH Christmas Party he shrugged it off with a "that's the breaks" attitude. I like that, it means he is willing to swim against the tide.
I will vote for whoever I damned well choose to vote for. If the party thinks they can blame me for their loss, then they can consider my vote lost for good.
Amen!
If some FReepers here think they can blame me for their loss then they can KMA.
At this point, given the alternatives I've seen so far, I would be very tempted and probably would vote for him in our AZ primary (especially against pro-immigration/Kennedy McCain). Electing Tancredo would be the equivalent of sending an earthquake through the Republican Party and sometimes earthquakes can be fun. We still have time to save our Country .... but in three years I'm not certain how much time, if any, we'll have left.
Anyone can rise to power and become "electable". I would never suggest to anyone they vote for an individual based on power, money, or popularity, which I presumes means "electability". One should only vote for the person they feel would do the best job. Not on popularity/electability.
Suggesting that someone should vote for someone, just because others say the have a "better" chance, seems offensive, and I personally would never follow that advice.
Bush ain't no Albert Einstein but you voted for him...
Considering the fact that 47% of Hispanic voters voted in favor of the anti-illegal alien measure Prop 200 in Arizona last year, it seems that one of the best ways for Republican candidates to get the Hispanic vote is to be anti-illegal immigration.
And maybe when the Dems are in power, we won't have elections any more. :P
I love you too!
We can have more than one reason for doing things.
Thanks for posting that picture of Angela 'Bay' Buchanan, who served as treasurer of Ronald Reagan's presidential campaigns in 1976 and 1980, and who was appointed to the position of Treasurer of the United States by President Reagan in 1981. Ronald Reagan must have had a lot of confidence in her, and respected what she had accomplished for him and for the Republican Party.
Yep. I agree. Yet, there are many people who think he can do no wrong. Just because he is NOT Kerry.
Tancredo is unelectable!
