Though I have formally endorsed no candidate, I made no secret of the fact that my favorites are Tancredo and Rep. Duncan Hunter – both, admittedly, long shots to get the Republican nomination.
Bu I feel compelled to offer some more encouragement to Tancredo for his decision to boycott the recent Spanish-language debate. And he was the only candidate to do so.
Tancredo got it right.
"If they can't understand the English language, then, of course, they shouldn't be citizens," Tancredo explained. "They shouldn't be voting. And we shouldn't be pandering to them."
That's what I like about Tancredo. Simple. Straightforward. To the point. He pulls no punches and he minces no words.
Tom Tancredo is right on all the major issues of the day, plus he has the added distinction of having led the fight in Washington for secure borders, a return to national sovereignty and against the kind of creeping internationalism that has characterized George W. Bush's failed presidency.
Quite honestly, no other candidate running for president brings all these qualities to the table with the added distinction of fully comprehending the external threats we face as a nation from Islamo-fascism.
Many readers have asked where I stand on the candidates. I haven't veered from my choice in 2006. Not a single vote has yet been cast by the American people in the 2008 presidential primary campaign. This is no time for people to get weak in the knees, to start compromising principles for pragmatism, for accommodations to what the pollsters tell us is possible and impossible.
Vote your conscience. Vote your principles. Don't vote for the lesser of evils.
I believe if Americans took this advice, Tom Tancredo would win the nomination hands down. But, instead, too many of us accept the words of the experts who want to define for us what is politically possible.
If you agree with me and you agree with Tom, vote for him. Vote for him in Iowa. Vote for him in New Hampshire. Vote for him in South Carolina. Vote for him in all the primaries.
It's votes that count, not polling numbers.
Do you want that fence built fast?
Do you think companies hiring illegal aliens should be punished?
Do you want to end all the giveaway programs that attract millions of illegal aliens?
Do you want to let our enemies know in advance there will be dire consequences for attacking us directly or through terrorist proxies?
Do you want to end our drift into the insanity of multiculturalism?
Do you want to scrap the income tax?
Do you want to cut federal government spending and programs?
Do you want to declare war on MS-13 and other dangerous organized criminal gangs in this country?
Do you want to end the scourge of abortion on demand?
Do you want to rein in activist judges abusing their authority?
Do you want to preserve and defend your God-given right to defend yourself and your Second Amendment-protected right to bear arms?
Do you want to vote for someone who speaks the truth?
We still have a chance.
Don't accept less.
Tom Tancredo doesn't hide his record. He doesn't disguise what he believes. He doesn't make excuses. He doesn't flip and flop. He doesn't bend in the slightest breeze.
That's why I urged him to run. And that's why I would still cast my ballot today for Tom Tancredo.

I agree Joe, but what can you do about it? Those against us are too many. Everyone seems afraid of giving Tom Tancredo any exposure---even the Repulican Party. This is what is so bizarre. With immigration trumping all issues--you would think the Party would take notice and get behind this man.
The party is getting their money from business that is owned by members of the CFR. The base has abandoned the national party, remember?
Business wants those borders open, business wants the cheap labor, business wants a North American Union and they don't care how many terrorists get through or how many diseases come into this country, they do not care how many Americans are displaced.
Keep your eye on the prize. Tom will be on the primary ballot in every state (I am not sure if he got the necessary signatures in Illinois) Don't let anyone tell you he cannot beat Hillary. It will be a cakewalk because all of the ones the msm tells you would be able to beat Hillary are just as bad as she is, and there are enough of us who know that and will either vote 3rd party or not vote. Simple!
Vote Tom Tancredo on your primary ballot.

We have to get tough with our elected officials. I got tough with my congressman, Ed Royce and let him know why we do not like Rudy Giuliani. I did it face to face with him. He needs to change his support from Giuliani to Tancredo and/ or Duncan Hunter. He needs to do it fast because I am about to post on the O.C. Register's forums and send letters to the editor. Get tough, if we want , as conservatives, to take back the GOP from globalists pretending to be conservatives as the first tier Republican candidates are not people who are on board with our interests, principles, and beliefs. If he wants our votes, he must walk the walk and not just talk the talk. He told me yesterday he is against NAFTA. Then why in the blankety blank is he supporting Giuliani who reiterated his support for NAFTA in this week's Iowa debate in Des Moines..

Plus, are ignorant governor Perry endorses Giuliani. Perry is a total ignorant when it comes to the border. First, he is tough on border security, and then when the Senate did not pass the bill of comprise reform he said they were wrong. He as been a total disappointment!
It seems as if a cabal is scaring our politicians or has corrupted them. It is probably both. It is probably a perfect system that has them terrified to represent Americans.

You have to look for it, H, but there is lots out there. This is information I gathered just by googleing 'Tom Tancredo'.
