I must admit that I adore Tom Tancredo and have gotten to spend quite a bit of time with him over the past 2 or 3 years (see www.tnrip.org) but, no matter how GREAT he would be on the illegal immigration issue, he simply doesn't seem to fully understand the proper role of government (i.e. to protect and defend individual liberty and rights as opposed to government intervention in many areas). I must also admit that I told Tom just last spring that my DREAM ticket for pres. and v-pres. would be Ron Paul and him to which he replied that he was honored (and this was WAY before he decided to take a serious look at running for pres.). He also said (at that time) that were he to throw his hat in the ring that he would be doing it to bring attention to the illegal immigration issue instead of letting it be ignored like it was in '04). He's a SUPER individual but I can't support him in the primaries as I feel there is someone better in the running. Of course, how the primaries play out will ultimately determine how I vote in the general ;-)
I appreciate your perspective.
All I have to go on with him is what I have heard and seen in the press about him for the past two years. I’ve been watching Tancredo.
I still think Tanc has it more together than Paul. Paul completely blew it in my book the other night.
