We’ll see. I rather doubt he shares your view of Fred Thompson.

Thanks for the ping...

...food for thought: Tancredo has been releasing his press releases through his official House site as of late and not through his campaign site.

I’m thinking he drops out. The question is who he will support. I hope it’s Hunter personally...

Well, it would certainly suprise me if he doesn’t share my view of Thompson. We shall see. He could be dropping out to run for the Seante seat and not endorse anyone.

If that's the case, I would imagine he'll leave his name on the ballot. Since it doesn't really cost him anything to leave it, the only real reason to formally withdraw would be if he doesn't want to take some other candidate's votes.

There are already two Republican candidates for that Senate seat, but he'd be my bet to win it if he wants it.

I’d sure like to have his voice in the Senate.

fwiw, I’m leaning toward guessing he’ll announce a 3rd-party run....

fwiw, I would vote for him as a 3rd party candidate. The other two parties have become dangerous.......

Tom Tancredo should endorse the GOP Presidential ticket of Duncan Hunter/Fred Thompson! This would make things more interesting.

Tanc will not endorse an open border, ("ASPIRATIONS OF CITIZENSHIP" FOR ILLEGALS) like FREE-FALL FRed. Since FRed would never appoint an immigration hawk like Hunter or Tancredo as his running mate when he’s already slotted another candidate like his good friend, John McLame for the job, who does that leave?

What color is the sky in your world?

I think Tancredo might have run as a third party candidate if he made a strong showing in the Republican primaries.

If he doesn't retire from politics, then he'll either run for Senate or for Governor of Colorado.

The only Republican I can really see running 3rd party is Alan Keyes. He's definitely laying out the rhetoric for just that.

Blue vs. Gray....We’ve been fighting the party of slavery, sedition, subversion, socialism and surrender for more than 232 years.

I’m thinking that if Tancredo comes to the realization that he’s out of it, he will not throw his support to another candidate who is out of it (and who was never really in it except maybe here on Free Republic).

If he wants his support to mean something, he will give it to Fred.

I guess we’ll find out tomorrow.

That is a gross mischaracterization of Fred Thompson’s stand on the border.

ACTIONS speak much more loudly than EMPTY campaign rhetoric.

http://profiles.numbersusa.com/improfile.php3?DistSend=TN&VIPID=743

“Nobody’s advocating that these people all be rounded up. Nobody’s advocating that they even be arrested and incarcerated, although they’re in violation of the law”

I suppose you understood his “aspirations of citizenship” for illegals to mean something other than AMNESTY!?

Look. Fred doesn’t simplify complicated issues into sound bites that will satisfy the uninformed. I’ve heard him speak on border issues many times.

He advocates: much stronger border control; dealing with companies that hire illegals; getting rid of the ‘born here’ thing; deporting criminals.

He believes that all those measures, if enforced, would result in significant attrition of those already here and would substantially reduce the numbers coming in.

If you want to believe someone who promises to make every illegal vanish in a puff of smoke, then go ahead.

Fred has a sensible and workable plan and he has never advocated amnesty.

I’ll admit, he talks a good game. Too bad his record as a SINator doesn’t fare as well. The law states that those here illegally are to be IMPRISONED and DEPORTED.....his latest statements says he wouldn’t even follow the law. So much for “Mr. Law & Order on the Border”.

Other reports have speculated that he’s going to run for Senate. I would love to see him there!

If this is true, congratulations and well done to Cong. Tancredo and his supporters. He’s done what was needed to get the word out on both immigration and also on spending.

On the extremely remote chance that Tancredo even got on the ballot, he would be obliterated by the Democrat in the general election.
