I support Tom Tancredo
for the Republican nomination for president, '08! Here's a few 'Net snippings about my favorite Republican candidate:

"Recently, Tom Tancredo spoke at a San Diego high school. Over 300 leftists showed up to protest him. In attendance were Muslims who were irate that Tancredo had said that if the Islamic terrorists were to ever use nuclear weapons against America, that he would bomb Mecca if he had his way."

"Despite his promise to serve only three terms in Congress, he is now in his fourth term."

"Tancredo is perhaps best known for his fight against illegal immigration. According to his supporters, he represents the majority of American citizens, who support strict enforcement of current U.S immigration laws...

Tancredo also received negative publicity when the Denver Post reported that two illegal immigrants were among the crew hired to remodel the congressman's basement. Tancredo defended himself by saying that he never asked about their immigration status."

"On September 11, 2006, in Columbia, South Carolina, Tancredo spoke to a gathering of the "Americans Have Had Enough Coalition", which he had helped found. The League of the South invited its members to the event, describing Tancredo as their "guest". According to reports, the room in which Tancredo spoke had a prominent picture of Robert E. Lee and was draped with Confederate battle flags. At the closing of the event, men dressed in full Confederate military regalia present stood up and began to sing "Dixie," the unofficial anthem of the Confederate States of America."

"On November 28, 2006, Tancredo was quoted in several news sources as referring to the city of Miami, Florida as a "Third World country."

"On January 16, 2007, Tom Tancredo announced that he had formed an exploratory committee seeking the presidential nomination in the Republican Party. He believes that the Republican Party needs someone who can offer America a "common sense agenda". He also believes that a majority of Americans will support his traditional Republican values, something he says the other potential candidates lack (Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney, and John McCain)."

1. Someone at my daughter's school put a "Tom Tancredo '08" bumpersticker over their Bush/Cheney '04
I avoid that woman at school functions.
