Gotta love a politician who puts doing the right thing over party.

[forgotten conservative]

At least one Republican gets it.

blech... not a fan.

Tancredo for Pres in 08

One thing for sure, if the beltway pubbies push Rudy, the McCainiac, or some other such RINO, Tom will get the vote from wife and I.

Norquist contrasted Tancredo's remark about bombing Mecca to someone suggesting bombing Dublin in response to an Irish Republican Army attack.

Oh yeah, that's comparable...

[peyton randolph]

Right Message.

Wrong Messenger.

[inquest]

Then find someone you think is better suited to deliver the message. Until then - lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way.

[Hank Rearden]

The Republican Party of Big Stupid Free-Spending Government must really hate this guy.

Unprincipled political hacks hate to be challenged.

Then find someone you think is better suited to deliver the message. Until then - lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way.

Amen, talk about the perfect being the enemy of the good.

I plan to push all major GOP primary contenders on the issue.

Until then - lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way.

Testy. Testy. Sounds like a Pat Buchanan Brigadier following his next Messiah into oblivion.

Tancredo makes Republicans uncomfortable by introducing them to the aims of the Republican Platform and conservative ideals.

[fallujah-nuker]

Can't break the rules.

But if you're not going to vote for, or at least threaten to vote for, the one person who'll actually do something about it, then your "push" will be laughable.

What you don't seem to understand is that anyone who delivers the right message the way Tancredo does will be made out to be the "wrong messenger" by the MSM. If you want to fall for their pap, then by all means, take it to DU. It won't be missed here.

You're making a big assumption that he wants something done about the open border. Checking the link in his tagline will show you "the rest of the story. Good day."

And a strong conservative voting record to boot!
Tancredo BUMP!!!
