Rep. Tom Tancredo to Senate: Take that!

A review of Tom's book "In Mortal Danger." The reviewer rightly points out how Tancredo was pressured by the entire GOP establishment not to cause "controversy" by disclosing an unpleasant truth - the dire threat posed against the entire American way of life and culture by the massive illegal invasion. Despite the threats to his career, he courageously adhered to his convictions and became the pioneer "minuteman" - warning the nation of the imminent catastrophe. By the way, it's a great read.

Good VP running mate for Duncan Hunter?

From the article:

He (Tancredo) says former Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Texas) “once called me into his office to tell me I had ‘no career’ in Congress.

Hmmm, so where is Tom Delay today? ;-)

As much as I like Tom, we all know that his own party will stop at nothing to destroy him.

Despite posturing by Republicans which shows (falsely) they support limiting illegal immigration, this is the one issue where the GOP and Conservatives part company. IMHO, it is also why they lost the midterm election.

The Truth is Out! Any one know when he started this mission? If it was during the Clintoon adimn, he's lucky to be alive.

I agree with your assessment. Sadly the message still hasn't been understood by the Rino party bigs.

[OldFriend]

LOL.....right! I noticed that Tancredo dropped any mention of illegal immigration.

I received a note from Tom thanking me for his support and it contained "A Tancredo Family Recipe for Spaghetti Sauce." It's superb and I'd be glad to share it with any interested FReepers.

I agree, and they still don't get it.

[Kluster]

That would kick so much ass

[art_rocks]

My vote wasn't wasted!!!

"The reviewer rightly points out how Tancredo was pressured by the entire GOP establishment not to cause "controversy" by disclosing an unpleasant truth..."

And yet Gore's party lets him disclose an inconvenient truth...< /sarcasm>.

Why don't you post the recipe. Otherwise, I'd like to have a copy.

Bttt!

A great combo it would be. :)

[Las Vegas Dave]

OPI?

[PhiKapMom]

That same recipe came to my door from the local candidates. One of the print houses will send it out as a family recipe for whoever pays them money. It always comes with a thank you note from whoever!

[Colorado Doug]

The Republican Party will not get a peso from me. I will send money to Tancredo though.
