Tancredo with Constitution Party Polling in Second Place

I don't like the idea of a hawkish bailouter running as a "Constitutionalist". However, it is nice to see he is ahead of the Republicans.

He is by no means an ideal constitutionalist. But at the same time, I can totally see him going all 10th amendment all over the place as governor.

this is good news;) what your seeing is the dying of the gop establishment. they are now running to 3rd parties;) trying to co-opt the message and fool the voters;0( not going to happen!) this free for all will benefit the dems until the gop can get its act together!!! this is called growing pains!! the gop establishments favorite word to say right now is TEA;) i expect liberty candidates to WIN in local/state elections;) while gop establishment candidates like maes,mcginnis and tancredo fall by the wayside!!! i highly doubt tancredo can win general. these are only the beginnings of the revolution!! the gop establishment and the powers to be are running scared!! now it is our job to hold them accountable!! I would only vote tancredo as a protest vote against the gop establishment!! I in no way want tancredo to win!!
 
The only difference between Tancredo and McInnis is that McInnis is less anti-gay and Tancredo has a visceral hatred for Mexicans and the Catholic Church, to which McInnis happens to belong. Tancredo is a fraud.

A former Roman Catholic, Tancredo is now a member of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church.[13] Tancredo is married to Jackie Tancredo. They met at Drake Junior High School as teachers, and married in 1977.[14] They have two children and five grandchildren.

On April 17, 2008, Tancredo alleged that Pope Benedict XVI was encouraging illegal immigration to the USA to boost membership in the Catholic Church. In response to a statement by the Pope at a Mass in Washington, Tancredo stated, "I suspect the pope's immigration comments may have less to do with spreading the gospel than they do about recruiting new members of the church." While Tancredo was raised a Catholic, he now attends Cherry Hills Community Church, an evangelical Christian church.[84][85] In a rebuttal of Tancredo's claim that the Catholic Church "has been losing members rapidly," the USCCB publishes data that records over 150,000 adults being received into the Catholic Church in 2007 through adult baptism and other rites of acceptance.[86]

He's only running because of the Arizona story and is appealing to the basest instincts in the voting populace.

I actually support more liberal immigration policy. The illegal immigrants come in because of our ridiculous cost of labor propagated by unions and big government regulations and the minimum wage. The illegal immigrants come in and undermine it. If we get enough of them, we'll demand the abolition of these laws in favor of the free market.

In the meantime, they help support our economy with cheap labor.
