		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Huckabee Still Ahead in Republican Power Rankings, Thompson Edges Giuliani for Fourth&lt;/strong&gt; The positive comments about Tom Tancredo are true.&#160; He is an America first candidate, and he is willing to defend our country no matter what the circumstance.&#160; He and Duncan Hunter (Chinese and other trade expert) are the only two candidates truly concerned about how off track our country is and what needs to be done to save ourselves and future generations from this downward spiral.&#160; &lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Tom is an unwavering candidate on every issue and has a track record with his former positions with the Department of Education, with his experience in his home state as well as in the U.S. House that says exactly that--unwavering.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Tom will not let this country down.&#160; He is honest, forthright and willing to fight for what is guaranteed in the Constitution, and he wants to enforce the laws of the Land.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;It is suggested that Mike Huckabee&#039;s &quot;theological&quot; degree be carefully scrutinized.&#160; He is not to be trusted.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Tom Tancredo WILL&lt;/strong&gt; Tom Tancredo is the only candidate on the GOP ticket who has remained focused and unwavering all year.&#160; He has not rearranged his priorities and not changed his position on any issue.&#160; He has not had to become awakened to the fact that the American People want our borders secured and the tsunami of illegal immigrants stopped.&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;He did not enter this campaign for ego or power.&#160; He entered this campaign because none of the other candidates were addressing the issue that is most important to the American People, and for nearly 7 months he was the only candidate talking about it.&#160; Now all of them are trying to out Tancredo Tancredo.&#160; I do not believe them for a skinny minute and I would advise everyone to look up the previous positions of the other candidates before you believe them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;If you want your country back, your only choice in the caucuses and primary elections is Tom Tancredo.&#160; He will do more for America between the Inauguration Ceremony and the Inaugural Ball than the previous 3 presidents have done in the previous 20 years.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Sorry you got Freeped, Chase...&lt;/strong&gt; You hit the nail on the head this time.&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;In my opinion, the Rudy campaign is the worst managed campaign I&#039;ve ever seen. They have this massive war chest, yet spend almost nothing on advertising. They racked up some nice endorsements, but got nowhere with them. They got caught completely with their pants down on Kerik and the NYPD/Judith Nathan scandal. Plus, they let all of his speeches become nothing more than, as Joe Biden said, a noun a verb and 9/11.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;They should have capitalized on Huckabee&#039;s rise to split the social conservatives between Huck and Romney, leaving the path wide open for him to march to the nomination with the blessing of the security/business conservatives.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Seriously...by rights he should have been able to use his 9/11 cred to pull an Eisenhower like cakewalk to the convention. His failure to do so is the story of this election so far.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Tom Tancredo - NOT Just A One Issue Candidate.&lt;/strong&gt; The MSM (Main Stream Media) makes Tom Tancredo out to be a &quot;one issue&quot; candidate. However, they are false in their assumptions. They also want him to be a &quot;one issue&quot; candidate because they wouldn&#039;t get away with dismissing him as an all-around truthful candidate. That&#039;s what he is. He tells the truth to the American people. Yet, the MSM don&#039;t want a President who tells the truth and actually wants to do something to solve America&#039;s problems or deal with the threat we are faced with from the Islamo-fascists that are so inclined to destroy America.&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Tom Tancredo believes in the Constitution of the United States of America. He wants parents to be able to choose where their children go to school. He wants people to be able to pay lower medical costs and be able to go to the doctors that they so choose. He wants countries to abide by a FAIR trade policy. He wants people to come here LEGALLY and not Illegally. He wants America to thrive and not continue to the bottom of the toilet. Because, that&#039;s exactly where it&#039;s headed if we elect any other candidate than Tom Tancredo.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thomas &quot;Creampuff&quot; Willems&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Marcus, Iowa&lt;/br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Tancredo is the only choice!!&lt;/strong&gt; &#160; The border must be closed.&#160; One of the means to insure that is done is to build the fence.&#160; The laws already established need to be enforced as they should have been for the past 21 years.&lt;br&gt;&#160; Tancredo recognizes that our country must be secured!&#160; Our security is his prime concern and he will do the above.&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#160; Maslov&#039;s hierarcy of needs tells us that the our most important basic need is safety and security.&#160; After that comes food, shelter etc.&#160; The other candidates focus on&#160; education, health care, taxes, energy, environment...&#160; Unless we have security, the others really don&#039;t matter.&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#160; Tancredo alone recognizes the danger we face from open borders and from radical islam.&#160; Other candidates give little importance to these issues.&#160; &lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#160; Tancredo opposes NAFTA, SPP, NAFTA superhighway and the NAU which would destroy our sovereignty.&#160; He is not on the CFR which appears to be propelling us towards global governance. &lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#160; WAKE UP, IOWA.&#160; Promote TANCREDO!!&lt;/br&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Tancredo &#039;08 For a Secure America&lt;/strong&gt; I do not disagree with Repubicae&#039;s comments about Congressman Paul and the Federal Reserve.&#160; I do believe that message would have played better in 2000 than it does today.&#160; We face much more dangerous challenges today and IMO Congressman Paul does not have a clue.&#160; We will never be able to just sit down and talk radical islam into being our friend.&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;We are in danger of losing the sovereignty of our precious Republic to the comrades in arms; The Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission and the Bilderberg Group.&#160; All of the Democrats except Dennis Kucinich and top 5 Republicans have close associations with those groups.&#160; They support not just a one world economy, but a one world government to oversee it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Of those who are not associated with those groups, Tom Tancredo is the only candidate I trust to protect that sovereignty.&#160; He is far from the One Trick Pony the main stream media has made him out to be.&#160; Be aware that the main stream media is owned by members of the above named groups.&#160; Tom is a threat to their plans to form a North American Union in the first year of the next administration; &quot;by the year 2010&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;A vote for anyone else from either party is a vote to shred our Constitution and Bill of Rights, throw Old Glory in the trash and trade our dollars for ameros.&#160; Look it up and believe it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Iowans BEWARE!&lt;/strong&gt; Iowans - You have the distinct opportunity and responsibility to prove to the rest of our nation that you are well-informed on every issue facing our country!&#160; As a born and raised Iowan, and a long-time resident of Arizona, I&#039;d like to share some information I hope you find extremely alarming!&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Our unsecured borders and our unenforced immigration laws have allowed nearly 600,000 ILLEGAL immigrants to live in AZ.&#160; Nearly ONE THIRD of AZ households headed by illegal immigrants receive government WELFARE assistance!&#160; 69% of illegal immigrants in AZ do NOT have health insurance, so you can guess whose healthcare premium rates increase!!!!!&#160; Our schools educate 225,000 non-English speaking students - all at the TAXPAYERS&#039; expense - over TWO BILLION dollars each year!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Does our country really need to import more poverty and do we really want to burden our systems with millions (more) of uneducated individuals?&#160; After all, 46% of adult immigrants in Arizona have LESS than a high-school degree! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Our corporations and businesses would rather hire cheap citizens from other countries than adequtely pay American citizens and because of that, our federal, state and local government has allowed and encouraged an invasion of twenty to thirty MILLION non-citizens!&#160; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;If the United States is to remain a sovereign country, where American workers can indeed hold good-paying jobs, receive top of the line education and afford healthcare, we MUST demand that the next President is a person who stands firm on his convictions and principles, a person who promises to secure our borders and retain our sovereignty, a person who is NOT bought and paid for by the corporate world.&#160; TOM TANCREDO is that candidate.&#160; He has fought illegal immigration for NINE years - not nine weeks like the other candidates!&#160; Tancredo for a Secure America and for Americans!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;I&#039;m glad to see...&lt;/strong&gt; I&#039;m glad to see that Iowans are waking up to Ron Paul.&#160; He very well may not place in 1st or 2nd, but even a 3rd place finish will be enough for the media (or should be enough for the media) to take him more seriously as a leading contender in this contest.&#160; Dr. Paul is a uniter, brining old-school conservatives (like myself) and liberal Democrats alike into his campaign due to his simple message:&#160; just get the government off of our backs!&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;If the GOP wants someone who can beat Hillary Clinton or the Obama/Oprah machines, Dr. Paul would be the wise choice.&#160; As an airman serving in the United States Air Force, I am particularly interested in Dr. Paul&#039;s foreign policy of peace and prosperity abroad.&#160; It would be nice to travel to a foreign land and not be looked upon as an imperialist pig, and instead be welcomed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;I want to thank Dr. Paul for finally offering integrity in the field of candidates, and thank the Iowa Independent for this good news!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Brad&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Tancredo Is Underestimated&lt;/strong&gt; There is no doubt that Rep Tancredo is being underestimated. Nothing new.&#160; He was expected to finish at the bottom in the straw poll and managed to overcome a last minute misinformation campaign to have a surprisingly respectful showing.&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;He has a strong core support group and they will get others out to caucus with them.&#160; This group will not care what the weather is like or who is playing football.&#160; They care about their country and the elitist sellout of the working class.&#160; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;One of the interesting things about Rep Tancredo&#039;s supporters is that a great number do not fit the profile of those who are traditionally involved in politics. But don&#039;t underestimate them in the face of crisis just because they do not turn up in the typical MSM polls, have $2300 a piece to donate and are not organized by corporate and special interest groups.&#160; They recognize there is a crisis in this nation and that their hand raised after taking a step forward counts just as much on Caucus night as the representatives of anti-American socialists, Pacifist bed wetters, illegal alien employers and ethnic lobbying bigots.&#160; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;As voters come down to the wire they are going to keep coming back to the fact that Rep Tancredo has the most dependable conservative record in the field.&#160; Also, his anti-political correct ads will allow people in the end to say &quot;I can support that guy because he has the guts to say what I would and I know he has America &amp; American Citizens first in his heart&quot;.&#160; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Besides Iowa loves well meaning underdogs and Rep Tancredo fits that profile to the max.&#160; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Vote Tancredo for a Secure &amp; Prosperous America&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
