Borders? We don't need no steenkin' borders!

I'm done bumping your worthless thread. Try to keep it going with someone else.

If Tancredo really wanted to do something about illegals, why doesn't he come up with a bill and get McCain to sponsor it in the Senate. If McCain refuses, Tancredo should go public.

It wouldn't suprise me a bit if McCain would refuse to go along w/ Tancredo. McCain is soft on border issues. His feeling, as he stated on a live from AZ O'Reilly show last year, was he felt the US Border Patrol was (paraphrasing) not qualified to defend our borders....anyone remember what he said specifically? All I remember that it drew a LOUD boo from the crowd, and the movement to recall him here started.

Here was my email to the President.

Congratulations on leading Republicans to victory in the last election. However, there are many of us, who voted straight Republican, who are Conservatives FIRST. Your primary job is the defence of our country. This starts at the borders. I know Hispanics represent a large new voter class, but we are being overrun by ILLEGAL aliens. Your re-election is not more important than the defence of the country.

Please take a look at this thread on the Conservative website, Freerepublic.com. This is a website with it's finger on the pulse of YOUR BASE. Tom Tancredo is right about illegal immigration, and if you don't start acting on it, you will drive your base elsewhere. If we are attacked again, by illegal immigrants, YOU will be blamed next time because it happened on your watch. For your sake, and the sake of your country and party, please stop the invasion. The country you and I both love is being lost. You can save it.

Okay. I've only seen the Roll Call article in which the writer attributes it to Tancredo.

[rockfish59]

Si!

Probably because Bush can work with Hitlery and Kennedy but Tancredo is a loose cannon who is a McCarthy or Huey Long waiting to happen.

Bush can work with Hillary? Tancredo a loose cannon?

With comments like this, there is no need to identify or introduce yourself. You've shown your hand.....

[PuNcH]

but Tancredo is a loose cannon who is a McCarthy

LOL. Please how is Tancredo a loose cannon? You are saying that he should not represent the people that he represents and the issues that he was elected on? What is the point of our representative govt if the will of the people is considered a loose cannon? Most Americans want immigration brought under control and the borders made secure.

If our govt and elected representatives are going to ignore the rule of law, the constitution and the will of the people then is they who are the loose cannons.

McCarthy was right btw.

[PuNcH]

He turned into another Buchanan: The messenger drowning out the message.

Or at least when the liberal media frames things a certain way, moderate republicans buy into it everytime.

[PuNcH]

They(the Tancredo cultists on FR) are our little Tom Daschles, IMHO,

LOL that was stupid. IMHO.

LOL. Please how is Tancredo a loose cannon?

I think Dane's message is that independent thinking is not allowed in the GOP anymore. We all have to drink from the same Kool-Aid punch bowl.

[sarcasm]

How 'bout this one:

To: Mark Felton

And he was embarrassed earlier this year when it was revealed that undocumented workers had been hired to do some construction work on his Littleton home.

That is a riot. He is going down. He sounds like that idiot James Traficant.

The Republican and Democratic party are teams. If you are not on the team you are off it.

If he keeps screwing with the power structure the DOJ will get him an all expense paid trip to join James Traficant in making license plates. Scottie can beam them both up.

Trancredo for dog catcher in 2004. Better suited to his temperment.

Tancredo for President of the United States in 2004!

[usadave]

If he makes a big enough fuss maybe no one will notice he broke his pledge.

Yes, Tancredo broke his pledge and was overwhelmingly re-elected to Congress. Go figure.

[Deb]

Pandering pays.

What is the point of our representative govt if the will of the people (TANCREDO) is considered a loose cannon?

Do you consider "Bagdad" Bonior and McDermott loose cannons? Case closed.

I consider a govt that will not listen to the will of the people while they run roughshod over our constitutional rights a loose cannon. Jeffords would be a great example of someone who has no regard for those who elected him. Tancredo is a great example of one who will run on the issues he was elected for.

Now Bush said he would secure our borders in this war on terrorism? So when exactly is he going to start doing something about it? How many more people do we need to see die before the govt gets serious?
