bump for publicity
How many Americans, this day, will be killed, robbed or maimed by illegals?
Tancredo took issue with some conservative strategists - such as Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform - who feel that a push for stringent immigration policies could hurt the Republican Party politically.
"I don't buy it," Tancredo said. "By saying we should be a nation of laws, we will gain votes."
Yes, a nation of laws. What a concept!
Since you and La Raza hate him, Tancredo must be a good conservative.
"Can anybody say meglomaniac nutball?"
Yes, and his name is Dane.
Tancredo is no nutball.
I don't trust Bush and Rove on border security, nor do I trust any Democrat or any U.S. Senator on this subject.
These things that are currently being banted about in the media are merely window dressing for their loss of popularity in the polls, especially this close to an election - nope, I used to live in MO so I will only believe what they have done in the past and that is absolutely NOTHING!!!
I don't trust him either.
What state do you live in?
He's against the WORD amnesty while continuously trying to push it. He does get credit for finally acknowledging that we're waging a war against Islamic Extremism after years of fighting an adverb.
Howlin to Tumblindice: Are you new to these threads? Most of the posters on these threads despise George W. Bush. And anybody with eyes can see Tancredo has NO OTHER ISSUE.
There's why you have such a hard time...assuming those who aren't into your idolitry thing must inversely hate the object of your adoration. You and the others sharing this trait make Free Republic appear to be a bought organ of the RNC while trying to shout down anyone who doesn't worship at your altar of "W". THAT'S what makes the site look foolish to casual observers - and makes a lot of thinking people dismiss FR when they see posters presenting conservative ideas bullied by those of you who consider compromise necessary and power more important than what's right.
Howlin to Tumblindice: But on this issue, he walks behind Vincente Fox. It's statements like that that are why you all are summarily dismissed.
Didn't know you were Jim under another moniker. The arrogant assumption of power is either ridiculous or you're one of the mods whose identities are so secret. But he assured me that moderators don't indulge in "flaming", so I have to assume you're just a legend in your own mind.
Howlin to Tumblindice: ROFLMAO. You can't even find an offshore article to back up your OWN statement: "I believe a guest worker program will help us rid the society and the border of these coyotes, who smuggle people in the back of 18-wheelers," Bush said. See what I mean; you have to LIE to try to make your point.
I have to note that you were the one to use a NY Times poll as supposed proof that the immigration issue is insignificant. We have several guest worker programs yet they just don't seem to provide the amount of people willing to work for wages that Americans can't live on to satisfy the demand. Damn that living wage!
Howlin to Invisible Gorilla: You always manage to leave out the parts that make your argument look ridiculous; like the part where they have to LEAVE the country. And yes, we NEED a guest workers program.
I don't need a guest worker program. No one I know in various businesses need a guest worker program. If you know business people who can't conduct business without sub-wage laborers they are plainly working within a paradigm that should be allowed to fail. Illegals breed corruption and those who claim they can't get by without them are examples of that.
Howlin: Why don't you busy your peabrain by finding ONE post where I have indicated I am for open borders. Find it and post it right here, or forever been known as a liar.
Your consistent attacks on those calling for securing the borders speak for themselves.
Miss Marple; just like the Guantanamo detainees, Rights Are For Citizens. Screw up somewhere else on this planet and see how far your case gets without plenty of payola.

Whistling past the coming graveyard of disenfranchisement while citing legalized abortion as a reason he's unable to get adequate labor. How many more ways can he say he depends on illegals for profit before most posters get the picture?
Modelbreaker wrote: What is remarkable is how much influence Tom has amassed, notwithstanding. He has been able to do so by cutting the purse strings with the R's and by developing a national, small-donor list that keeps him alive. And that's why the party establishment hates him so. He doesn't need their money and they can't control him. As for onerous regulations--probably more than half of the regulations on the books are passed at the request of businesses and are designed to stifle competition from other, usually smaller, businesses.
That's correct. I've met and talked with many politicians but only Tom struck me as a warrior on a mission from God.
And Dane - noting how you try to saturate the last posts on a thread as if your views are rational/foundational/whatever's going on in your head...we're onto it because your act is officially tired. Try injecting news items or WSJ article excerpts - anything but this lame old stuff. Tighten up - this sort of performance is not what the lobby is paying you for.
The Senate and the House can enact border security reforms without the President.
Instead of blaming President Bush, how about Congress does their job?
