WB: Rep. Tom Tancredo

Tancredo said he didn't need to spend tens of millions of dollars to create an appearance of being a conservative because he already has a solid conservative record.

Tancredo condemned "hyphenated conservativism," specifically "compassionate conservatism." He said hyphenated conservatism is what leads to lost elections.

He mentioned SCHIP and how we're not fighting about whether we should have such a thing, but how far we're going to go with it, specifically how much we're going to spend. He said we should be arguing about why we even have such a thing.

"When conservatives urn on principles, we win. When we run away from principles, we lose," Tancredo said.

He said America is the last, best hope for the world, and that no one is fleeing America for a better life in Pakistan.

Tancredo also quoted Jeremiah that the Lord "knew us in the womb."

He said we need a leader who will enforce our illegal immigration laws, because the first word of this issue is the word "illegal."

"Everything we have, everything we believe in is under attack by jihadism abroad and multiculturalism at home," said Tancredo.

Tancredo was without a doubt the most animated, funny and enthusiastic candidate to speak so far. He generated a lot of laughter and applause.
