Anyone Else?

So, does anyone else out there want to run for president?! Why not, as it seems everyone else is! It's the cool thing to do, I guess. Today two more Republican candidates joined the race.

Former Wisconsin Governor and Former Health and Human Services Secretary during Bush's first term, Tommy Thompson announed he is the "reliable conservative." He said his Iraq strategy would be "tremendously" different from Bush's and said he opposed the Democratic approach in Congress to start withdrawing U.S. troops based on timelines.

Colorado Representative Tom Tancredo also threw his name into the ring, declaring that he is unhappy with all of the current Republican candidates because they are too soft on immigration. His staunch stance against immigration has garnered publicity in recent years, and he has said that will be the focus of his campaign.

Tancredo, I've got news for you: there are greater concerns in our country right now than immigration reform. Sure, it's an issue, but the most important? C'mon. And with a name like Tancredo, can you oppose it?! And I don't understand these people who don't want to set a withdrawl from Iraq timeline. I guess they'd like us to stay permanently or until all of our soliders are dead?!

I also have to wonder with all of these people so busy campaigning nearly two years before the election if anything is being accomplished in Washington. Clearly they're never there, spending half of their time in Iowa and the other half everywhere else, so when do they vote on bills, represent the people of their state (where they now have no time to visit or make a priority) and make great things happen? We know the answer to that.
