At this point I favor Hunter, but on immigration Tom has a good track record, and apparently he is trying to get out his views on other issues, as well. What do you think of him?

Here's more of what he is up to. Much as I admire his position on some points, I have to say I think Dave Barry's idea that those who are mad at Tancredo calling Miami a third world city should call Tancredo's office for Superbowl tickets, is pretty funny....

Katsulov, if you have reservations on Tancredo, it should NOT be based on fear that he is a 'Johnny come lately' to the immigration debate. He owns this issue. The anti-illegal immigration coalition in the Capital is known as 'his' group.

I love what he said here ...
"We have a cult of multiculturalism. This is what permeates our society," he said. Immigrants who come to the United States but refuse to assimilate by learning the language and following the laws water down what it means to be an American, he said.
"It's a cultural, political, linguistic tower of Babel," he said.
He favors eliminating incentives for immigrants to come to the United States and reducing the number of legal immigrants.
The nation should enforce its immigration laws by building a fence along the border with Mexico, deporting illegal immigrants and going after companies that hire them for cheap labor, he said.
Im watching him very closely and I will continue to do so.Hes playing my music I just want to find out if he really knows all the words or is just saying what he thinks people want/need to hear from a politician right now.
Thank you pick me great link ...
Hes the governor of Idaho Tom Vilsack
I'm just still looking in to every facet of his personality, Im just a hard sell thank you.

What do you think of Vilsack?
As for Tancredo? He (at this time) would be an obvious choice. Duncan Hunter is a very close second.
Problem i have with all the ones that seem decent(at this time) is the damn two party ideology. This next campaign(pretty sure) will be won due to the internet. As far as the ones able to raise the most money, has anyone ever stopped to think where they are getting it?

I'm also keeping an ear peeled to see who the American Independent Party in California is going to support. It's still quite early in the game.

I do want Tom Tancredo for President, I believe illegal immigration is first and foremost of all issues. The war second! I was watching C-Span and a rep. from Irac was saying the same thing many of us are, he to wanted to secure his borders, build a fence, so Bush won't secure the borders in Irac or the US and the Democrats are just bloody crazy and running off at the mouth is their best attribute. If no one cares about our security how can we keep killing people of other countries in the name of future security of the US. Please lets hope Tancredo is really serious about illegals, and if he is, we have to help him get elected. America is a young country that many people hate and take advantage of, and we have no one to defend her, I hope Tancredo will be the man to rescue America from the pit that is swallowing her up. I'll be watching Tom too!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, I'm keeping track of both, Hunter and Tancredo, the record of how each votes and what they say. Tancredo was here where I live yesterday, but I could not get down to see him. Each just wants whats best for working America.

I know he is one of the few who is against illegal immigration. He certainly has my vote. I think if people do not quit worrying about the latest episode in the sandbox squabble of Rosie and The Donald and pay attention to what is REALLY important, our country will be taken right out from under us. We all need to throw our support behind him so that he will win. TANCREDO for president!!!!!

Yes if Tancredo runs I would vote for him. If you have time here is an interesting article,very scary,its long but from reading your forums I thought you might be interested,maybe you have already read it,or something like it.
