[jeremiah]

I heard him talking about this issue. He claims that staffers and congressmen come to him all the time, and express the same concerns that he has about the issue of illegal immigration. The only thing is, they still will not put their names to a bill putting a stop to the problem, or support a bill attempting to address the issue. Seems they are afraid of the political ramifications. That is enough to dissuade and discourage any man. When you work hard to put together a consensus of opinion, then find that though others believe like you do, but will not act on it, what can anyone do but show impatience?

what can anyone do but show impatience?

Change the tune.

i.e., moving from 'there is no way the government will cut taxes' to 'just how much of a tax cut are we talking about'.

In this case, the issue is illegal immigration.

As I've stated in other posts, I am not too familiar with Tancredo, however, I'm reading his site and articles about him. Tancredo does not seem to have the skills required to get others ("staffers and congressmen") talking his language.
