This is what I was afraid of -- having lost the chance to actually affect the immigration bill with the House passing to Dim-RAT control, Tom has now chosen the path of demagogery. This ensures that the pro-enforcement side is irreparably bound up in people's minds as some sort of frothing racist position, which *shouldn't* happen but will if this sort of thing keeps up. Unfortunately, I predict a bill to be passed and signed in '07 that will make us wistful for the Bush-style plan; and I expect that when it happens it will be backed with popular support, because the side that's actually *right* will have demagogued itself into the margins. This will do wonders for Tom personally; he can be a 'firebrand' and sell books and get re-elected, but it'll also mean the ->cause<- of stopping illegal immigration will fail. First rule of politics: the losing side determines nothing. We don't want to be like the Dims who will say anything to win, and we don't have to, because our ideas are right -- but we won't win by emulating a Dean scream, either. Huh some on FR have been saying that for years, but were derided as OBL'ers.

I know the truth is like Kryptonite to you Dane, but Tom Tancredo is correct. Miami is basically a Third World Country with all of the illegal aliens there from all over the world.
And by the way. I REALLY hope that Conservatives decide to run for Congress in 2008. I don't want to elect Left Wing Repubicans and Phony Republicans to Congress again. I want a Republican majority, but not at the cost of Conservative Principles darnit!
