Nothing makes this guy happy.
you are wrong about Tancredo. He's our guy, conservative and the one of few long voices on immigration law enforcement.
I'm sorry. When did Tom Tancredo get moved to the "He's an idiot, just disregard everything he says" list? Somehow I didn't that memo.
tancredo continues to cross the line.
He could be a good guy but he's reading too much of his own press clippings.
He's only getting ink right now because he's against Bush..get that through your thick head Tom.
Me neither!... so I hope congress who is listening to our concerns (my side) on securing the border FIRST... keep vigilant of him.
As much as it sickens me to listen to a clasless, clown, sob like Chavez take shots at GWB, I am also concious of the president's failure in handling the border/Illegals the right way.
What capital Tom had built with me is now gone. I just happen to trust President Bush more than ANY member of congress.
I don't trust Tancredo around my children.
Or small animals.
And it doesn't matter what all the 1 issue Freepers think, WE,not them, nominate the candidate. It people like ME, not the one issue Fingers who nominate the Republican candidate. When you piss us off you lose the Republican base. It is not enough to fire up the true believers, you have to get people like ME on your side too. If TT cannot see this, he is doomed to never be anything more then a Congress Critter.
Republicans do not reward PR whores. McCain learned this in the last week, Tommy will learn if he doesn't grow up.
Hey Tancredo, please join McNutt and run for President in 2008 so we can whip your irrelevant a$$ and get you off our radar/TV screen.. :)
That's not the word that comes to mind. But then, I know him. He's a great guy and a smart, principled, small-government conservative. You couldn't ask for a better congresscritter.
In Az. we have a chance to unseat a rat governor Janet Napolitano by electing Len Munsil who's main campaign promise is to shut the border and punish employers/landlords that hire illegals. Unfortunately, Munsil is down in the polls right now and our fish-wrap newspaper the Arizona Republic (also known as the Arizona Repulsive) is in the tank for Napolitano.
Rush always says "follow the money." I say "follow the backers," the constituency they are playing to, so to speak, Traitor McCain, what ever the does, his audience seems always be: THE LEFT plain and simple. The MSM, The liberal left (the RATS love him!... homosexuals think he is the KEY to defeat the religious right). He seems to be more concerned about Europe's opinion of the US, rather than putting our own forces first. I sincerely wonder why he has not turned Democrat already :)... my only conclusion is that he is more helpful to the left as a "Republican."
Tamcredo on the other hand... who is he playing for? Not the MSN, not the left, not Europeans, no the ACLU/HOMOSEXUALS... I feel this guy is playing to ME.. and all those who love this country and want some kind of common sense when dealing with the security/Immigration of this country.
Something else, as an "American/Hispanic," I put America first. I want the US to choose whom we want in this country (Mexicans, Africans, Polish... whatever is in OUR INTEREST!). On the other hand, as a "Hispanic," I would like them to come to this country through the "front door" LEGALLY... w/o being used like modern slaves, abused and dispossessed of their dignity (trust me I know something about this).
If our industries need laborers, say "vegetables pickers" or "bathroom cleaners," well, let's create some kind of program where find people willing to do these tasks for a number of years and go back to their countries. OR... I would even go furthe and consider other options, like if someone cleans bathrooms for 5 years... and they LEARN ENGLISH and keep their nose clean, maybe we should offer them a mechanism to become legal residents (Not citizenship... that is something else), and find a better job, etc etc etc. Canada I hear has a programs like these.
Many things can be done... many... but the beginning has to be LEGAL ENTRY INTO THE US... and that begins with SECURING THE BORDER so that we get control of who comes into the country.
Now, Am I crazy?.... doesn't this sound based on common sense?
Neither Do I!
I trust the President to do what he says he will do. This is not the President saying he will "certify" the borders security. This is a bill saying the President will "certify" the borders security before instituting a "guest worker" program.
If the President says he WILL certify the borders security, I trust the President, this one at least, to do so.
Do I agree with all the Presidents immigration policies? No.
Do I trust him to do what he says he will do? Yes.
The gall, expecting the president to do his job. /sarcasm
After decades of "wink and a nod" and "catch and release" border enforcement I don't trust the federal government on border enforcement either.
That's why millions of Americans want a couple years of demonstrated secured borders before we talk about a guest worker or citizenship plan.
That's a ridiculous claim. Even I, who disagree with Bush on a number of issues, would never call him that.
