As I pointed out earlier, Thomas Jefferson himself rejected the notion of trusting politicians. As I said earlier, Tancredo in a sense is quoting Jefferson on Bush, "In questions of power (and border security) let no more be heard of confidence (trust) in men, (specifically Bush) but bind him down from mischief with the chains of the Constitution." Thomas Jefferson 1799

George Bush is the most honest man we have had . . . I read your lips on this, Marples, but I prefer Ronald Reagan. "Trust but verify" or better yet, Jefferson, "Let no more be heard of (trust) in men . . ."

Digging up the Jefferson quote is a high-falutin' form of tap-dancing.

And dragging Ronald Reagan's quote about the Soviets (liars) into this is also an insult to the President.

Pfui. You people are simply unable to see past your Tancredo adulation. Good luck with that, for I am certain you are going to be disappointed.
