Tancredo To Leave House At End Of 2008

Report: Tancredo To Leave House At End Of 2008
Showdown Expected To Fill Open Seat

UPDATED: 12:07 am MDT October 29, 2007

DENVER -- Rep. Tom Tancredo plans to leave the U.S. House of Representatives at the end of 2008, whether his longshot presidential bid is successful or not, the Rocky Mountain News reported.

"It's the fact that I really believe I have done all I can do in the House, especially about the issue about which I care greatly (immigration)," Tancredo, 61, told the newspaper Sunday night.

Tancredo, R-Colo., has been an outspoken opponent of illegal immigration. He is in his fifth term in the House.

He said he didn't have a specific career plan in mind for the future.

5. He was supposed to be gone in 2002.

He pledged to serve only 2 terms, then lied about it when he ran again. Tankie was my rep for 20 months, then I moved to Denver to escape.:puke:

He's such an asshole!

6. THAT'S got to be good news!

From all I heard, he sounded like one of the nastiest people in Congress, against lots of competition.
