Tancredo is, as Torie said, strident. Getting in Bush's face was not necessary, nor did he endear himself with his breaking of his term limits pledge.
Tom Coburn from Oklahoma kept his promise. Tancredo can't keep his because his "supporters" have turned him into a showboater who thinks he's "indispensable."
If Armstrong and Karl Rove oppose him in 2004, he's dead meat.

But pollster Ciruli said 'Tancredo's views on immigration are in line with his constituents'.

Baloney, #11. Tancredo is speaking out the gospel truth. Truth hurts, doesn't it. Regardless of Bush's good qualities, one that is not good is his attitude toward immigration and protecting our borders. He is very weak in that area, and was pandering to Vincente Fox, although for the moment there seems to be a falling out there, as Bush is unable to pursue his undocumented worker waiver because of the potential hue and cry from the American public since 9/11. Let's face it, Bush is a moderate Republican at best when it comes to domestic matters. You just don't want to see the truth. Well, keep your head in the sand, but Tancredo is right about illegal immigration, porous borders, and a lousy visa program. I hope he continues to be a thorn in Bush's side on this particular issue. Will keep Bush more on the straight and narrow.
