WASHINGTON — Florida Gov. Jeb Bush called a Colorado congressman "a nut" Wednesday after the fellow Republican likened Miami to a Third World country.

"Mexican post office"?--Jeb`s wife is gone? Got to ask, TV broke at your house? You might find this hard to believe but this news for the rest of us!"


She wasn't his wife at the time.

"If Tancredo can`t be President, then neither will Jeb Bush."

Tancredo won`t be President because he`s an idiot and a fool. Why is he keeping this stupid fight going? What does he hope to gain? It is`nt even working here and we`re the conservatives.

Corporations don't import illegals. Illegals are here because there is work for them and they will work. If the jobs weren't here they wouldn't be here. There is a large segment of this society that just don't want to physically work.

I would guess that Tancredo's opinion is that of the crank minority.I would guess that Tancredo's opinion is that of the crank minority.

On this poll you are part of the "crank" minority.

Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colorado, is pointing to Miami as an example of what he calls uncontrolled immigration. World Net Daily quotes Tancredo as saying, "Look at what has happened to Miami. It has become a third world country. You just pick it up and take it and move it someplace, you would never know you're in the United States of America." What do you think about the comments?

I agree with him. 1294 72%

That's ridiculous. I don't agree. 349 19%

He's entitled to his opinion. 149 8%

That doesn't want to work for minimum wage. Let's see you try to raise a family on $5.15 in New York.

I'd be careful using WorldNetDaily as a credible source...

Tommy Boy is going to wind up like Pat Buchanan-loud, unelectable and in the future, defended by only about four or five Freepers who meet in a basement and call themselves the Tancredo Movement.

[durasell]

I disagree. Everything in the statement hinges on how you perceive Miami, Florida.





I perceive Miami as a city within the United States. Parts of the United States have a lot of Spanish speakers, etc.

[Mister Da]

The multiculti Bush brothers are getting tiresome. Jeb can forget the presidency. Having been to Miami several times, I agree with Tancredo completely.

[WatchingInAmazement]

If not for "Terrible Tom" and his brigades, we would have had another amnesty.

And THAT is exactly why Jeb, and the open border minority here are so bent out of shape. At least Tancredo hasn't broken his oath of office, to PROTECT and DEFEND out borders.

And that's why Tancredo had illegal labor build his home basement home theater.

Oops, I forgot, that was the contractor's fault. Tancredo was to busy in DC to notice the actual labor building his basement home theater.

Someone asked for substantiation to a figure, and that substantiation was given.

I want you to point out where I gave an opinion on whether that was a good thing, or a bad thing.

Take umbrage with the things that I actually say, not with the things you imagine I've said.

WorldNetDaily? I posted a poll from an NBC TV affiliate. What are you talking about?

[Luis Gonzalez]

"At least Tancredo hasn't broken his oath of office, to PROTECT and DEFEND out borders."

Other than shooting off his mouth, what has Tom actually done?

[WatchingInAmazement]

C'mon Dane, you're leaving out your usual Pelosi, Dahmer, Hillary, Charlie Daniels BS. I'm going to start calling you "stubbie" because you're so short on facts.

[kempo]

We have 4% unemployment in this country right now. If an adult doesn't have a job that he can raise a family on he hasn't been looking for one.

[WatchingInAmazement]

Other than shooting off his mouth, what has Tom actually done?

I could ask you the same question. Pissing you off is good enough for most of us.

[Mamzelle]

There's a lot of us who inadvertantly get stuck with unlawful labor provided by crooked contractors. It's happened to me.

But that's not quite the same as refusing to do one's job as Chief Executive because he's just all sloppy and sentimental about the humble maid who picks up Scottie's poop in the Rose Garden.

One of these days, they'll be checking Social Security numbers with all that help at the Crawford Ranch. I think it'd be a good idea for some reporter. And hang around Tony Snow's house, too, and see who cleans up after the WH spokesman.

Again, I repeat: You try raising a family on $5.15 an hour in NY.

Actually, Miami, Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York are pretty much gone, demographically...courtesy of the liberals in both major parties.

They're working on everywhere else now.

You can't really raise a family on $5.15 an hour anywhere.
