Please provide tangible evidence for your claim.
Look, my dream team was and still is, Hunter/Tancredo 2008! Had Tom stayed out of the race (like he said he would if a strong immigration candidate ran) and backed Hunter, I would think a lot more of him today.
Tom is great, but Hunter is the best all round candidate by far. Hunter was in the trenches fighting illegal immigration for nearly a decade before Tom joined in. He should have teamed with Hunter, rather than try to be a star.
Hunter is eminently the most qualified to lead this nation in these troubling times. He not only was a Ranger in Vietnam, but has been very involved in foreign policy and our Armed Forces since his arrival in DC. As Ann Coulter would say, Hunter is magnificent and he is right on every single issue.

American Conservative Union: 92%
Americans for Tax Reform: 88.5% (lifetime-recent was 100%)
National Tax Limitation Committee: 88
National Taxpayers Union: B
ACLU: 7% (indicates very conservative)

I will show you evidence Hunter voted for bills that expand government size and power in a little while.
Now I’ll just show you that Tancredo was the only candidate who said anything to Huckabee when Huckabee was going on about the government schools teaching art and music in the schools to all students. The other candidates did not respond to Huckabee but Tancredo spoke up because he is the only one that felt so strongly when someone says something like Huckabee did. I was screaming at Huckabee too on the TV. The others are not really passionate as I am and as Tancredo is for reducing the size of the government imo. reason.
Tom Tancredo letting Huckabee have it in the primary debate: “We don’t need the Department of Education
the difference. That’s because we don’t need the department. It’s an encumbrance on our attempt to actually teach children in this country, as is the federal government and its intervention and its rules. You can’t say on one hand, you’re against having government intervention and on the other hand, tell us that you want music and art and everything else in the school. That’s not the job of a president. It is the job of a governor. That’s what you should run for if you want to dictate curriculum.”

Also:
“Tom Tancredo has been fighting for immigration control and secure borders for the past eight years. He also supports fair trade versus free trade and voted against CAFTA and the expansion of NAFTA and is opposed to SPP, NAU and a foreign-owned NAFTA superhighway. This year alone, Tom has authored 19 bills and amendments, including an amendment to the Homeland Security appropriations bill that will deny funds to sanctuary cities, and has co-signed 84 other bills including H.R. 25, the fair tax plan. Tom earned “A” or “A+” ratings from every conservative group: American Conservative Union, National Right to Life Committee, National Rifle Association, Family Research Council, National Taxpayer Union, Americans for Better Immigration, National Federation of Independent Businesses.
