Tom Tancredo is the south end of a horse headed north

i hate to beat around the bush like this, but tom tancredo is a fool, a bigot, a racist, an opportunist and a perfect composite of some of the worst traits to be found in america... how in hell someone like this could be elected to the u.s. congress is completely beyond me...
Tancredo, 60, has so effectively tapped into the anger of millions of Americans who favor a crackdown on illegal immigrants and tougher measures at the border that the back-bench Republican is considering making a bid for president in two years. But in Washington, he is viewed warily by Democrats, the White House and even some of his Republican colleagues as a loose cannon or even a zealot.

and there ya have it - anger, outrage, ethnophobia... all the basest instincts of humanity...
For many frustrated, scared and angry suburbanites and small-town residents, Tancredo is a hero, one of the very few Washington politicians who take their fears seriously. They believe undocumented, mostly Hispanic workers are taking jobs that ought to go to citizens, flooding schools and boosting the crime rate, and that the country's open borders pose a security threat.

yeah, right... let's keep stirring up the anger and fear... the more time we spend on anger and fear, the less likely we are to focus on the crimes being committed by the folks in the white house...
