And Tancredo is the guy some freepers want to save the Conservative movement? Sheesh.

[subterfuge]

Lame Duck.

[RexBeach]

I just love to "celebrate" diversity. How about you?

Ugh.

[wideawake]

Omigosh. I had not realized until this very second that Tom Terrific is actuallly a terrific assclown.

[Howlin]

LOL!

Miami is not a wonderful city.

I just hope Jeb Bush won't run for president. His defense of illegal immigrants was sickening. I can't imagine his tacky wife as the first lady.

Nice to see someone saying the truth. I know Tancredo won't win, but he has my vote if he runs.

[stanz]

I agree. Miami is a cesspool. Tancredo told it like it is.

[Reagan Man]

Once again, Cong Tancredo speaks to the truth and is criticised for his honesty. I've been to Florida many times. Nice state. Great weather. However, the last thing I'd ever do is move to Miami. In 50 years, the European culture that made America so great, will be in the minority. In 100 years, the America we've all come to love, will be gone.

Mr. Tancredo just JUMPED THE SHARK:

I have gone through a whole airport experience in Miammi without hearing a word of English.

Good Lord...

When I did contract work for Nukes, Miami was my favorite place to go to. I enjoyed my time there and had no problems, being Florida resident didn't hurt either. Compared to my time, stationed in Denver as compared to Miami...I rather be in Miami.

Tom...I can say the same about Denver that you said about Miami.

Guv: Explain the term "Open city". It's in your state, you should know.

[Chi-townChief]

Tancredo may have blew it with this one; he should have made clear he wasn't referring to anti-communist Cuban-Americans.

[Ben Mugged]

As with most cities, Miami has it's good parts and it's bad parts. I'm from Florida and I think that what has happened to Miami suburbs since the late 70's simply sucks.

Tom is brutally accurate.

[AmericanChef]

I imagine the Miami that Bush inhabits is pretty darn nice. I used to live in Miami, too. Moved away. 'Nuf said.

[BallyBill]

Si!

[Paul8148]

That idoit Tom wants drive the Cubans out so their is no Latinos left voting Republican.

I visted Miami last month, my first trip there since the 60's. It was telling that the announcements on the America West flight were first in spanish, second in english. But the culture is not like the Mexican field worker culture of Arizona, California and Texas, but rather a Cuban and central american culture. The people appear european, but they speak spanish.

I rented a car and drove all over the place. It *is* a third world country, no joke. I thought the hotel I picked would be OK. But it was a fenced fortress with a guard at the entrance to the parking lot. A scary place.

I think the "enforcement only" options presented by Tancredo and most around here are simplistic and have no chance of working in the long run. I think agressive assimilation as we did 100 years ago is the only hope, because it was demonstrated to work. But Tancredos right on this point. Miami is Third World.
