To this point the consensus from Blog @ MoreWhat.com looks favorably upon Rep Tom Tancredo on the issues and his interest in 2008. Our current favorite for President is Mitt Romney. The reason we did not choose Tancredo was his FEC filings were the only evidence of a campaign. When and if he gets rolling we will reconsider our consensus position. But Tancredo’s combining the border agent’s pardon petition with an appeal for campaign contributions, if true, is disturbing. If nothing else it is in bad taste.

Tom Tancredo is using the plight of two imprisoned Border Patrol agents to raise money for his potential presidential campaign.

In his latest campaign mailing, the Republican congressman from Littleton asks those who are “angered and outraged by the unjust imprisonment,” of agents Ignacio Compean and Jose Ramos to sign a petition to President Bush asking for their pardon, and mail it back “along with a special, emergency donation,” payable to Tancredo’s campaign.
