And he was embarrassed earlier this year when it was revealed that undocumented workers had been hired to do some construction work on his Littleton home.

That is a riot. He is going down. He sounds like that idiot James Traficant.

The Republican and Democratic party are teams. If you are not on the team you are off it.

If he keeps screwing with the power structure the DOJ will get him an all expense paid trip to join James Traficant in making license plates. Scottie can beam them both up.

You have a peculiar concept of how things should be in a free country.

Actually, an illegal immigrant admitted to giving false papers to a contractor Tancredo hired. The leftist media crated a tempest. An "conservaitves" like you support them.

Actually it was the contractor who hired the Illegals, but they had docummentation saying they were legal.

Of course after INS found out they were immediately released and allowed to vote democratic.

BTW it doesn't hurt to shout occasionally.

If the parties are teams, then those who think we've already met our quota in the immigrant department are apparently not on either team. Is that it?

If I recall, this came out prior to his election, and it turned out he hired a contractor who had an illegal on the payroll. The contractor himself was an American.

First of all there was some discrepancy as to whether the workers were illegal or not.

Secondly, and more importantly, Tancredo hired a contractor who hired the illegals. This is nor more an indictment of Tancredo than it would be for you or I to eat at a restaurant where illegals are washing the dishes. Would you or I be accused of having illegals working for us in such a case? Probably not, unless the Denver Post wanted to smear our reputation in retaliation for inquiring about the status of a known illegal (Jesus Apodaca) attending high school in the Denver area.

That is only the case for conservatives. Liberals like John Warner can buck the team and get wet kissed from the powers that be. Conservatives are tossed out if they fail to bow to the party elite.

We're being overrun, and this administration isn't doing a thing about it. When the team starts acting like the opposition, it's time to 'fix' it. Does the U.S. look like some sort of kingdom to you?

Are you stoned?

Our "team" has no business allowing the rule of law to be trampled upon and our national security threatened by a refusal to defend our borders. Tancredo is a lone voice of reason and courage in facing down the (mainly left-wing-driven) P.C. pro-illegals Aztlan hate squad.

My company worked on over 50 Senate, House and Governor campaign this last cycle, and won all but one of them (Thune). BUT If being a member of our "team" means appeasing that crowd, you can count me, and millions of other Conservative activists out.

You give meaning to the phrase "Republicans, the stupid party."

Did he hire them, or did a construction company? And if he hired them, did he know that they were illegals? or did they have drivers lics (thanks to the libs).

Tancredo represents the views of the people of his district. That is his FIRST responsibility. The Republican party leadership are opposed to the people of his district.

If his people do not want him to serve further terms then they will not VOTE for him.

Am I to take your post to indicate that you actually approve of these Stalinist-style tactics? If so, you would appear to be not a Republican, but a Marxist in all but name, would you not? Or, perhaps you can see a Constitutional basis for DOJ enforcement of the 'Party Line?'

I don't know if you followed this story when it first broke, but the Denver Post, which is constantly badmouthing Tancredo, stated that they had proof that illegal alien employees had done work at Tancredo's house (The Denver Post never claimed that Tancredo himself had actually hired the illegal aliens though). When people started asking the Denver Post to prove their allegations, the newspaper stalled and delayed and finally admitted that they could NOT prove that illegal alien employees had done work at Tancredo's house. The editorial staff at the Denver Post were made to look like fools because they tried to smear Tancredo with "evidence" without first taking the time to verify the facts.

It is unclear whether the White House would try to get involved in a primary challenge to Tancredo.

Bwaahahahaha! Herr Rove has him scrubbed, and he's dead meat. His 100% ACU rating last year and 99% lifetime doesn't mean spit.

If he keeps screwing with the power structure the DOJ will get him an all expense paid trip to join James Traficant in making license plates. Scottie can beam them both up.

Ah, I love the smell of facism in the morning!

It's awfully hard to get a contractor who doesn't use illegal labor. He hires subcontractors, too, that are not under his supervision directly. These days, I wouldn't judge too harshly about using illegal labor. It can happen without wanting it to, just by hiring an American building contractor to get a job done...

This statement of yours illustrates in a nutshell what's wrong with Bushbots. They applaud Clintonian tactics such as siccing the Feds on those they perceive as enemies.

I sincerely hope that you don't ever end up on the wrong end of that kind of government abuse. But if you ever do, remember your callous insensitivity in calling for it to happen to others.

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