No. We know our congress. Whatever the majority wants they never get.

Tom will NEVER be allowed on a ticket by the useful (to the left) Republican hierarchy.
From another FR Thread:
Americans support building a security fence along the entire 2,000 mile U.S.- Mexican border by a landslide, a new Time magazine poll has found.
By a margin of 56 to 40 percent, respondents said they want the wall built from sea to shining sea - not just the 700 miles stipulated in the House plan, a proposal the press calls "draconian."
In more evidence that the American people want a tougher crackdown on illegal immigration than anything favored by Congress or the media, 62 percent told Time that they favored using the military to guard the border. Just 35 percent opposed.
But the poll's biggest shocker may be on the question of deporting illegals back to their native country, an option that politicians and the press say is out of the question.
Time found, however, that 47 percent of those surveyed actually favor deporting "all illegal immigrants." 49 percent were opposed.
And 51 percent said the U.S. would be "better of" if all illegals were deported and the border sealed to prevent any more from coming in. Just 38 percent disagreed.
A full 75 percent say illegals should be denied government supplied healthcare and food stamps, with 21 percent saying they should get those benefits. 69 percent say illegals shouldn't be allowed to get U.S. drivers licenses.
Time surveyed 1004 adult Americans on March 29 and 30. The poll has a margin of error of +/- 3 percent
I still refuse to vote in this poll ... I rather stay home.
So this guy believes one has no rights unless they are Government Approved? Hmmmm
Tancredo will not win ONE primary. No one is going to keep him from the ticket particularly any MYTHICAL republican "hierarchy". This silly poll just shows how far from the mainstream many on FR truly are. Tancredo has ZERO chance of being a candidate and for good reason.
Hilarious. How are you going to accomplish that when he will not win even ONE primary?
If you go back to GWB's formal request for a solution back in early 2004, he repeatedly asserts "no amnesty" and that the guest worker program should not serve as a path to citizenship or permanent residency. He also asked for three-year visas renewable for two cycles, then you go home.
So why do Senate RINOs make the big issue that of citizenship and permanent residency? No one wants it, and no one is asking for it.
If you discard that strawman of an issue, the Senate is left with a handful of simple ones: how to fix CIS/INS to handle the applications; how to beef up border enforcement; how to beef up domestic enforcement.
The citizenship issue is a bogeyman designed to prevent a vote on the simpler but more difficult issues.
And what, pray tell Mr. Shut Up, would that good reason be?
Well, we can only hope. A great #2 candidate for this dream ticket would be Gov. Sanford (SC).
I believe the OBL's are upset with Tancreado because he won't vote for legislation that creates greater economic benefits for this crowd. At least that was what a poster on another forum stated. I haven't looked up the stats yet.
Because he is a nutcase for one.
Such the same was said about President Bush.
Are you suggesting Tom's popularity on FR is an aberration? I would venture if Tancredo coupled a tightened border security with reductions in federal expenditures and more focused spending habits, ergo taxes, better schools, prison crowding reductions, healthcare solidification, social security protection measures, you'd see his popularity among average voters flourish wildly, much to the chagrin of unethical businesses.
One reminder though, illegal aliens nor felon businesses vote. Individual citizens do.
No one called Bush a "nutcase" when he ran. He was called a "drunk" a "moron", a "cokehead" and just about every other name under the sun but not "nutcase".
Yes Tancredo's "popularity" on FR is an aberration. Many voted for him in the poll strictly to pressure the GOP knowing full well that he has no chance. Just as I voted for Alan Keyes in the Il. primary (after it became obvious that Bush would win) knowing full well that he would not have the slightest chance of getting the nomination.
Your "program" for him sounds as good as any other Pie-in-the-Sky program but even that would not allow Tancredo to win even ONE primary.
Where did you get the idea Illegals don't vote? What would stop them?
