If there is a third party, I think there will be a fourth. It doesn't matter which side starts it; both parties have hard core 'true believers' who have been barely restrained from creating their own party by the fear of throwing the election to the hated enemy.
If a third part appears on the other side, that restraining factor is gone.
Consider; a serious anti-war party appears on the left with a real politician leading it, say Dennis Kucinich (I have it from my socialist brother that 'DK' is well-respected by the hard left), and suddenly starts polling with 7-8% of the electorate. At that point, the anti-illegal crowd on the right realize that they can create their own party, and make the statement they want to make with a greatly reduced chance of giving the election to the democrats. And away we go.
I don't know what was in Ronaldus Magnus's mind, but the Mexicans threw off the French reign around 1867 and executed Emperor Maximillian.
For Tancredo, it's getting less and less about the votes and more and more about the benjamins...
"But Im telling you that everything I see leads me to believe that this whole idea of the North American union, its not something thats just written about by right-wing fringe kooks, said Tancredo, a right-wing fringe kook.
Don't talk to Dane about Denmark. As I recall in a post to me a few years ago Dane stated that they have a right to control immigration because of their history and culture. Only the US must keep open the borders to anyone who wants to enter, whether legally or not. Hypocrisy knows no bounds from liberal fifth columnists like Dane.

Wanna' hit? :)
Tancredo, just like his puppet master Pat Buchanan, would like nothing more than to destroy the GOP.
The man is "coo coo for cocopuffs," so to speak.
You have Google News E-mail alerts for Tom Tancredo, don't you?
The Mexican government does well in requiring ID before voting. They also do far better than our own government in enforcing immigration laws at their southern border than we do. These are two areas where we would do well by imitating our southern neighbors.
They also lost a bit of the white vote as well. Should they have pandered to the honkies too?
I thought he faked mental illness to avoid Vietnam...maybe he really is a nutcase.
You're just saying that because your team blows goats.
There was an earlier thread. Tancredo is fairly adept, but he is missing some basic philosophy and history.
Hang on, time out. You're really going to say with a straight face that the Mexican government is not dysfunctional?!? You must be nucking futs.

Would you please enlighten us all as to which branch of the military you served in?

No. Tancredo's mental instability has nothing to do with you or I.
