Nope. Not Crazy...and perfect common sense. However, many here would probably be upset with the "guest worker" part of your proposal. That said, I support it.

I think the only thing that Tancredo does that hurts him is to forget the Reagan mantra of not speaking ill of fellow GOPers. He could do the exact same thing without making it personal. Once he does that, he falls into McCain territory.

But no worries. I am confident that things will turn out better on this than many expect.

Well, again it's a matter of perspective. The issue, again, it's so important in my eyes (Immigration policy / Border security) that I give him a pass on this. I know... I know... if we do, then so can everybody else... and so we are back to square one.

Yesterday, on my ride home, I was talking to two people in the car, very nice educated people... one agreed with what Chavez said about the president. I was surprised but then I reminded myself of much I detest the Clintons. There is no questions things (politics) have changed... we are more polarized now than I can remember. I don't know what exactly are the causes, maybe the Internet helps both groups to talk and reinforce their views - like we do here - and therefore we are all less inclined to compromise... again, I don't know, but no question that since Clinton, THINGS HAVE CHANGED!... in that light, I give Tamcredo a pass on his indiscretions toward other Republicans... I think :)

But no worries. I am confident that things will turn out better on this than many expect.

Well, I hope you are right...:)
