Election - "Tancredo
pulls out, backing Romney: Says he has best chance
of winning." ... "[2008 Election Republican Presidential Candidate] Tom
Tancredo pulled out of the presidential race yesterday and endorsed [2008
Election Republican Presidential Candidate] Mitt Romney, saying his erstwhile
rival is the Republican with the best chance to win the White House and
continue the fight to end illegal immigration, an issue the Coloradan helped
push to the forefront of the campaign." ... "The fifth-term congressman,
who consistently polled at the bottom of the nine-candidate GOP [Grand
Old Party=Republican] field, said he dropped out two weeks before the Iowa
caucuses because he feared his continued candidacy could enable an opponent
favoring a less-stringent approach to immigration to win."

Election - "GOP
hopefuls run in a hypocrisy derby." ... "Everybody
knows that [2008 Election Republican Presidential Candidate] Mitt Romney
was running - as [2008 Election Republican Presidential Candidate] Rudy
Giuliani put it - a "sanctuary mansion." But not many people know that
he was not the only one." ... "No less an anti-immigrant zealot than [2008
Election Republican Presidential Candidate and Colorado Representative]
Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Colo.[Republican-Colorado]), the would-be President
who built a failing campaign on the single issue of persecuting "criminal
aliens" - as he is fond of calling undocumented immigrants - also has a
few skeletons in his closet." ... "Listen to this: Five years ago, when
Tancredo wanted to install a home theater and make other renovations in
his house, he had no qualms hiring a contractor that - gasp! - also employed
undocumented workers." ... "The man who had said, "[The face of illegal
immigration] is the face of murder. It is the face of infiltration into
the country of people who are coming to do us great harm," wasn't at all
troubled by the fact that only two in the crew of five or six laborers
spoke English." ... "[In 1994, then New York Republican Mayor Rudy Giuliani
said] "If you come here and you work hard, and you happen to be in an undocumented
status, you're one of the people who we want in this city," he told The
New York Times in 1994." ... "While in Arkansas, he [Arkansas Republican
Governor and 2008 Election Republican Presidential Candidate Mike Huckabee]
was instrumental in bringing a Mexican Consulate to Little Rock [Arkansas's
capital]. That consulate issued thousands of identification forms that
now, after he has become a presidential hopeful, Huckabee has begun to
call "illegal immigrant identification cards."" ... "And do not forget
that if he is elected President, he has vowed to expel the nation's estimated
12 million undocumented immigrants within 120 days, which comes to deporting
100,000 people per day." -By Albor Ruiz -NYDailyNews.com

GOP inundated by irate calls from Ron Paul fans."
... "The Iowa Republican Party put out an advisory Tuesday setting standards
for participation in a Dec. 4 debate it is sponsoring with Fox News. The
phone has been ringing off the hook ever since." ... "That's because the
sponsors said participants need to average 5% support among Republicans
in recent national or Iowa polls -- and so far, Texas [Representative and
2008 Election Republican Presidential Candidate] Rep. Ron Paul is one of
the candidates not making the cut." ... "Colorado [Representative and 2008
Election Republican Presidential Candidate] Rep. Tom Tancredo and California
[Representative and 2008 Election Republican Presidential Candidate] Rep.
Duncan Hunter also fall below the 5% threshold at this point."

- "Tancredo:
Threaten to bomb Muslim holy sites in retaliation."
... "On Tuesday, [2008 Election Republican Presidential Candidate Tom]
Tancredo warned a group of Iowans that another terrorist attack would “cause
a worldwide economic collapse.” IowaPolitics.com recorded his comments."
... "“If it is up to me, we are going to explain that an attack on this
homeland of that nature would be followed by an attack on the holy sites
in Mecca and Medina,” Tancredo said. “That is the only thing I can think
of that might deter somebody from doing what they would otherwise do. If
I am wrong, fine, tell me, and I would be happy to do something else. But
you had better find a deterrent, or you will find an attack.”" ... "Tom
Casey, a deputy spokesman for the [Republican President Bush led] State
Department, told CNN’s Elise Labott that the congressman’s comments were
“reprehensible” and “absolutely crazy.”" -By Lauren

- "Majority
of Republicans Doubt Theory of Evolution: More Americans
accept theory of creationism than evolution." ... "The majority of Republicans
in the United States do not believe the theory of evolution is true and
do not believe that humans evolved over millions of years from less advanced
forms of life. This suggests that when three Republican presidential candidates
at a May debate stated they did not believe in evolution, they were generally
in sync with the bulk of the rank-and-file Republicans whose nomination
they are seeking to obtain." ... "Independents and Democrats are more likely
than Republicans to believe in the theory of evolution. But even among
non-Republicans there appears to be a significant minority who doubt that
evolution adequately explains where humans came from." ... "The data from
several recent Gallup studies suggest that Americans' religious behavior
is highly correlated with beliefs about evolution." ... "Although many
scientists accept evolution as the best theoretical explanation for diversity
in forms of life on Earth, the issue of its validity has risen again as
an important issue in the current 2008 presidential campaign. Two recent
Republican debates have included questions to the candidates about evolution.
Three candidates -- Sam Brownback, Mike Huckabee, and Tom Tancredo -- indicated
in response to a question during the May 3 debate that they did not believe
in the theory of evolution, although they have attempted to clarify their
positions in the weeks since." -By Frank Newport

Offers Changes to 9/11 Memorial." ... "The architect
of the memorial to a plane downed in Pennsylvania on Sept. 11, 2001, said
Wednesday he would work to satisfy critics who complained that it honors
terrorists with its crescent-shaped design." ... "Designer Paul Murdoch
said he is ``somewhat optimistic'' that the spirit of the design could
be maintained." ... "Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., sent a letter Tuesday
to National Park Service Director Fran Mainella saying many have questioned
the shape ``because of the crescent's prominent use as a symbol in Islam
- and the fact that the hijackers were radical Islamists.'" -By

DeLay - "Conservative
Lawmaker: DeLay Should Quit." ... "One of Congress'
most conservative members on Friday became the second House Republican
to urge Majority Leader Tom DeLay to step aside because of the ethics scrutiny
he's facing." ... ""If the majority leader were to temporarily step aside
so that these trumped up charges can be dealt with in a less hostile environment,
as they have proven to be an unnecessary distraction, it may be a productive
move," said Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo." -AP
