Come Home, Mr. President

Human Events Online ^ | 15 May 2006 | Rep. Tom Tancredo

[Spiff]

Conservative Republican Rep. Tom Tancredo nails it again. Rep. Tancredo enjoys a 100%, "Best and Brightest rating" from the American Conservative Union. The 89 Republicans on Congressional Immigration Reform Caucus, that Rep. Tancredo formed and serves as chairman, represent the most conservative members of Congress and make up over two thirds of representatives who earned the same 100%, Best and Brightest rating from the American Conservative Union. This rating is based upon a congressman's overall voting record on conservative issues.

I don't think Bush can give a speech that gets the approval of Tancredo. I don't even think Tancredo can give a speech he'd approve of.

He's got the gadfly routine down pat.

[sinkspur]

Americans are not in a mood to negotiate the matter of “regularization” for 12 million to 20 million illegal aliens --

That's not what the polls say.

I'm sure Bush will take Tancredo's "do it or else" ultimatum under advisement.

[Spiff]

Ping.

Taking bets on when the Tancredo trashers are going to hit this thread with their unending smears of Conservative Republican Tom Tancredo who enjoys a 100% "Best and Brightest" rating from the American Conservative Union? I say that the first baseless smear of Conservative Republican Tom Tancredo will be posted between post 20 and post 40.

You're too late. ;)

He's not threatening President Bush. He's making President Bush aware of the threat that exists.

[Personal Responsibility]

Thank god for Tancredo. He is 100% right when he says

Secure borders are a prerequisite for any new immigration legislation, not a component to be bartered away for increased immigration numbers or new visa rules.

and

Secure borders do not depend on a “comprehensive” immigration reform package

That is the clearest speaking I have ever heard from a politician. Go get em, Tom!

[COEXERJ145]

No way Bush will ever get the approval of Tancredo. Old Tom knows that if approves of President Bush then all that money will suddenly dry up. Bush hating is profitable business.

[sinkspur]

He's not threatening President Bush.

Sure.

[Humble Servant]

I'm with Tancredo.

"I say that the first baseless smear of Conservative Republican Tom Tancredo will be posted between post 20 and post 40."

Perhaps a little earlier. The first party-above-principle GOP loyalist has already shown up.

[Bigg Red]

Mr. President, please, please, please listen to this man. His is the only sensible and acceptable plan out there.

[Spiff]

That's not what the polls say.

Baloney. The polls show that Americans - especially Republicans - oppose amnesty.

[PGalt]

Thanks for posting. Interesting. Developing...

Reserving judgement until his speech is given.

[sinkspur]

The polls show that Americans - especially Republicans - oppose amnesty.

The majority of Americans do not oppose a worker program or something that puts illegals on the road to citizenship.

[devane617]

If the President says: "Jobs Americans won't do", He may as well stick a fork in the Republican party because it is done. Don't even mention a "Guest worker program", rather focus on CLOSING the borders. End of speach. Anything less/more will end it for our party and President. This is the most important speach he will make for the remainder of his term in office.
