Rep. Tancredo forms '08 bid committee

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON -- Colorado Republican Rep. Tom Tancredo, an outspoken
opponent of illegal immigration, said Tuesday he will form an exploratory
committee for a possible presidential campaign.

After making a weekend trip to Iowa, home to the first nominating caucus
in January 2008, Tancredo said voters told him other presidential candidates
don't share their views.

"They believe that there is a void in this race that none of the other
candidates are willing or able to fill," he said.

2. BWAHAHAHAHAH
Nobody's gonna vote for this xenophobic fool, and hopefully he'll leave the seat wide open for Dems to take it and leave only two Rethugs (extremely vulnerable) congresscritters to defend their seats.

Stupid idiot - let's hope he gets the nomination and we can just easily win the WH seat. He's just as bad as Brownback.

3. "Chain, chain, chain..."
"...chain of fools."

Tancredo joins Representative Duncan Hunter (R-CA) in the chorus line of scary GOP members who want to take over the Oval Office. If you thought Bush and Cheney were complete gits, check out these two!

6. There's a guy I've talked to on Strawpoll08.com and Churchofpolitics
who thinks Tancredo is some kind of savior. Seems like a jerk to me.
