Tom Tancredo for President?

Tom Tencredo has decided to form a presidential exploratory committee. From the Washington Post:

"The one thing I heard over and over is that they don't believe the other contenders care about the same things that they do," Tancredo, 61, said.

None of the White House candidates, the five-term lawmaker added, "reflects the grass-roots, majority belief of Americans that our borders must be secured, that employers who hire illegals must be prosecuted, and that no one who has broken our immigration laws should ever be put on a 'pathway to citizenship.' "

I'm going to have to look further into this man's politics. So far he looks like the most acceptable Republican to put his hat in the ring.

He's far better than John McCain, who is conservative in name-only. He's also better than Rudy Giuliani, who's way too much of a social liberal for my tastes.

Some people think Mitt Romney might be a good choice. I don't think so. He's flip-flopped on a few social issues nearly as badly as John Kerry.

Newt Gingrich might be a good candidate, but he's so hated by the left that I don't think he's got much chance of winning.

If Mr. Tancredo's conservative credentials hold up, I think I may have found my candidate.

Planck's Constant trackbacked with "Liberals Cannot See the Trees for the Forests"

Yeah that's right, liberals cannot see all the trees because of the foarests, literally. Here's why. The statistic quoted most often is that there are 40% fewer forests in the US than 400 years ago. But fewer forests do not mean fewer trees, just as fewer farmers than 100 years ago does not mean fewer farm-stuffs produced. Urban areas are...
