#3 Expect a smear campaign from Eastern elitists. He once said that if the Muzzis get too aggressive, then nuking Mecca might be an option. That is a lot different from advocating: NUKE MECCA!

Just curious: if one of the nuclear powers informed the Sauds that Mecca was about to be glassed, and gave them a week to depopulate the target, what would be the effect of destroying the city while not harming a single Muslim? Muzzis believe that Mecca is their deity's portal on earth. Ergo: if it was destroyed in default of divine protection, then the mask of deception might be pulled off their self appointed "prophet." No place to make pilgrimage; no reason to believe in Quran direction.

#4 But, Sneaze! None would leave! All the faithful would flock to Mecca, and ...

Waitaminute.... maybe that's not a bad thing?

#5 Whatever you think of the merits of his position on immigration, Tom Tancredo has a moonbat streak in him a half-mile wide--which can only harm his candidacy and his pet issue.

#6 Newt??? I don't think so. The only person with higher unfavorables than Hillary

#7 "Tom Tancredo has a moonbat streak in him a half-mile wide--"

Mike, You are certainly entitled to your opinion that Tancredos’ assertions of a larger agenda behind the illegal immigration debate are conspiracy theory rants from a racist bigot. But I would suggest there is ample evidence to support his views if one is willing to consider the broader picture. Other then amnesty for illegal aliens, how many viewpoints do Labor Unions and the US Chamber of Commerce share? Now, without the traditional myopic “special interest” explanations, ask yourself; Why is that? As long as people view amnesty for illegal aliens as a single issue and not a phenomena they will continue to be manipulated through very simple propaganda. Just consider how easily people are coerced either by the “race card” from the left or the “economic card” from the corporations that exploit cheap labor. I’ll say it again…Take a look around brother!

#9 DG: We're just going to have to disagree on that issue, but I will compliment you on the civility with which you expressed yourself.

#10 Sorry, Tom, and Fred:

Check out Duncan Hunter

although I'd probably rather have Tom or Fred than Mitt, Rudy or John.

#11 Fred Thompson, that is. If Fred Pruitt runs I'll be pleased to support him.

#14 I like Fred, but he's partially responsible for that McCain-Feingold abomination.

#18 Fred Thompson has zero charisma. He became well known from his position on the Watergate panel, even though he was a junior, outshadowed by Sam Raybourne et al. The only time I ever saw him smile is when he played a con-man on "Wiseguy."

#19 I like Tancredo, do I think he has any real chance? No. But I'm hoping that he will bring some real dialog into focus about the illegal problem.
I feel like lots of folks are identifying the problem of illegals and the open border, but there is never any action to stop it. I feel strongly that Tancredo would be very pro-active, and I would like to hear how other candidates would act. Tancredo will be good at stirring the pot, let's see what kind of cream comes to the top.

#20 Sneaze: Fred T has gravitas, and pretty solid conservative voting record. I'd go Thompson/Hunter in a second
