Thread: 'You bet your life I do,' says Tom Tancredo

'You bet your life I do,' says Tom Tancredo in new book WASHINGTON -- Some people get elected to Congress to advance their careers. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo. and the chairman of the House Immigration Reform Caucus, went to Washington to advance an agenda. He's not ashamed of that agenda. In fact, he writes in his first book, "In Mortal Danger," he's quite proud of it. "I have always wanted to advance the agenda of limited government and enhanced individual freedom," he says. "Although it sounds a bit audacious, I want to participate in the reintroduction in this country of the concept that America is a unique place, not just a place where we can reap the economic and political benefits afforded by the labors of those who lived before us. I want our borders to be secure and those who have violated them to be deprived of the benefits lawful citizens enjoy, lest the concept of citizenship be rendered meaningless. I want immigrants seeking that citizenship to assimilate and sever their ties to their countries of origin. And I want us to encourage -- not discourage -- that assimilation. Perhaps even more audaciously, I want to do what I can to defend the West in the clash of civilizations that threatens humanity with a return to the Dark Ages."...Tancredo today is more optimistic and upbeat than he has ever been before. Little more than a year ago, he could count solid votes of support in the House on one or two hands. Today his immigration reform caucus numbers nearly 200-strong.

And wait til he makes them 'fess up to SPP.

This is the kind of man, our Nation deserves, to be our next President.

Yeah but the hairstyle just isn't working for me. He needs some Just for Men and he needs it quick

LIKE IT !!

The grey makes him look distinguished and I think it would be great, for once, to have a president that looks distinguished. Bush sure can't pull it off and Clinton was too busy examining the definition of 'IS' to pull it off.

This guy has to be president.

We are in dire need of leaders who can restore credibility and trust sorely lacking in government and can reinstill a sense of honor and remind citizens of the responsibilities of citizenship. Our leaders must place the welfare of the people above their own interests. They must stand firm and resolute against all interests foreign and domestic that threaten our sovereignty. During the darkest of times, true leaders have been a beacon of hope; guiding us from darkness and despair while refocusing our efforts on surmounting any obstacles making us a stronger people and nation.

Tancredo and Sessions for 2008!!!!!!!!

His agenda is constitutional, where as George Bush's agenda is illegal.
