Tancredo.

What other than immigration places him as a viable candidate. Do you know anything else about him?

[Torie]

I found Trancredo to be singularly unimpressive when he was interviewed on Free Republic Network. He had his facts wrong on Colorado redistricting as I recall. He is not now, and never will be, a major leaguer.

Some on the right think he's a gungrabber.

Challenger targets Tancredo over gun control
By Mike Soraghan Denver Post Staff Writer
April 5 - Conservative Republican U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo, the congressman from Columbine, is supporting the statewide gun-control initiative to close the "gun-show loophole." "I support anything that is designed to keep guns out of the hands of people who shouldn't have them, and this fits," Tancredo said. "This is a reasonable gun-control provision." That's consistent with Tancredo's move toward the middle on guns since the Columbine High School massacre last April.

As a former teacher he believes that education should be controlled locally rather than from D.C.

He sponsered HR316 and HR214, one deals with being able to choose a school, and the other deals with abuse of Special Education by schools listing children as retarded in order to garner more Fed money.

He is against Socialized Health Care and is for a tax credit for families whose employers do not provide insurance. He feels that citizens should be able to choose their own doctors.

He is for strong defense, and improving military hardware. He is very much for disabled veterans and feels their mistreatment is horrible, so do I.

He is for the environment as long as it does not infringe on communities or private ownership. He's upset that so much land in Colorado has been grabbed up by D.C.

Of course his stance on immigration is widely known, he has had the courage to buck D.C., risk not being on the best committees, and go toe to toe with open border politicans.

And he is for a national sales tax rather than income tax. He thinks taxes are far too high and that D.C. has far too much power.

He seems an honest man to me because he stands on the courage of his convictions even though he has been told to "Never darken the door of the White House", because of his illegal immigration stance.

I think he should darken that door when he walks through it as President of the United States. And I don't see that happening if the Republican Party doesn't hear from you and me that we are not pleased with the leftist candidates they put forward.

At least make a phone call to the RNC guys...good Lord, don't just accept what is put forward without a fight. Unless of course you like the direction the party is taking.
