Rep. Tom Tancredo Says Jindal Speech May Have Ended His Chances for Presidency - Video 2/26/09

Here is video of Rep. Tom Tancredo assessing the performance the other night of Gov. Bobby Jindal in giving the GOP Response to President Barack Obama's address. In short, Tancredo says Jindal's content was great but his delivery was lousy. In fact, he says it was so lousy that his performance may have "put the last nail in the coffin" on his chances of becoming President. Tancredo says Jindal is a great intellect but did not show himself to be a "leader" in his speech.

Tancredo believes Gov. Mitt Romney is best positioned now to lead the GOP forward in 2012. Tancredo made the comments during an interview at CPAC today, February 26, 2009.

As I said the other night, I believe Jindal's content was great but his delivery certainly could have been better. But I just don't think that speech will end Jindal's chances for the Presidency. He still has a very bright future, and could be the next GOP President in 2016 if not in 2012. Remember, everyone laughed off Bill Clinton after his disastrous speech at the Democratic Convention in 1988 that went on and on and on. But four years later, he became President. Four years is a very long time in politics. I would not count Jindal out just yet. . . . . (Watch Video)

OXFORD UNIVERSITY, UK, RHODES SCHOLAR...NOTE 2nd paragraph under “Who can apply to be a Rhodes Scholar” The words say “attainment in broad areas of the containment of the will. “Cecil Rhodes Will” is the determining factor ***here is page link to Oxford:

The proof is out there, so just because a fringe group recognizes the truth don’t discount it.

Now you realize how far ahead of the ‘curve’ we who have been digging into Barry Soetoro’s ineligibility are!

[cdbull23]

Bobby Jindal may have some good ideas, but he’s no Sarah Palin!

And that's the problem. Without even getting into who's the better, more conservative candidate, many Freepers have got it in their head that UNLESS it's Palin, they will attack, attack, attack the person. Doesn't matter how irrelevant the issue is, the person is simply not good enough.

Reminds me of, well, me -- when I was younger and looking for my first car. First car I saw, I wanted. My dad told me to keep my eyes open, because you never know when you'll find a great deal. But I didn't listen and I could care less what I saw -- everything, except the first car I fell in love with, was junk. Looking back, I only wonder how many better deals I let pass by.

We need to get rid of Steele. He is in friend to the GOP. I get the feeling out party is being sabotaged.

[mojitojoe]

Does ANY Republican officeholder even realize the seriousness and the real danger of Hussein’s rule?
______________
I do but most think the sun will rise tomorrow, spring will come and in 2010 the Republicans will take over the house and Senate and undo everything that was done and life will be good. I think the odds of that are nil. Coup d’etat going on here people, wake up.

[mojitojoe]

Anyway, the nomination is Petraeus’ to refuse.

Agree

[mojitojoe]

Neither of Jindal’s parents were citizens at the time of his birth.
__________
Then he's not eligible is he?

[mojitojoe]

Can anyone on here tell me how the Democrat who delivered the “reponse to the President” weekly speech this time last year did? Or even who that Democrat was?
______________
No, but the DNC isn’t the RNC. They play hardball, not softball and the Jindal speech will live in infamy because they will make sure it does.

[mojitojoe]

We need to get rid of Steele. He isn’t friend to the GOP. I get the feeling out party is being sabotaged.

fixed typo

[little jeremiah]

I agree with you 100%.

[TomasUSMC]

With Jindel we are just trying to out MagicNegro the democrats. If he were white he wouldn’t be in the top 50. In fact its the same with Palin, if she were a man she wouldn’t be setting foot outside Alaska.

Of course they are both God Fearing folk as opposed to our baby killing closet homosexual obambiboy.

[imintrouble]

Your post number 26 had me thinking!

IS Jindal qualified to run for POTUS - he was not born of American citizens - the very argument we are putting out regarding Obama.

Of course Obama’s group will probably have the Constitution rewritten by the time they clear out of office.

[The Sons of Liberty]

many Freepers have got it in their head that UNLESS it's Palin, they will attack, attack, attack the person.

I like, and agree with Sarah Palin's stance on the issues. I may like Bobby Jindal's as well, but I'm not as familiar with them. In today's superficial world, perception is reality, and unfortunately when Bobby had the stage he choked. Remembering he is just a first term Governor, and new to the national scene, that's somewhat understandable. I think his performance indicated that he is not quite ready for prime time. Contrast that with Ronald Reagan's speech at the GOP Convention. It was apparent, he had the credentials for greatness.

At this point, I would probably prefer the devil himself over Baraq Hussein mohammed 0bama (and I'm not convinced they are not one and the same).

Now, your ignorance about facts that you can find anywhere on the internet including the Wikepedia makes you the idiot...not me.

I didn't call you an idiot, but if you insist on making judgements of intelligence, perhaps you should first check your own. I already pointed out that Cecil Rhodes had more than one will, and the will that defined the Rhodes Scholarship was earlier than the one that called for his "secret society." The two are unrelated; not only should you have already known that given your interest in the subject, but I pointed it out to you ALREADY, yet you still insisted on using the debunked conspiracy theory.

The proof is out there, so just because a fringe group recognizes the truth don’t discount it.

You ARE the fringe. Not only are you ignorant of the Rhodes Scholariship requirements, but you're engaging in a genetic fallacy from the get-go.

[Kackikat]

The seven wills of Cecil Rhodes are very clear to me, and my historical approach is correct. As for any conspiracy it belongs to your group the Illuminati.

Now if you want to learn the truth read the historical prospective:

So now I'm part of the illuminati? That's rich.

The seven wills of Cecil Rhodes are very clear to me

Good, then you know that the "secret society" and the rhodes scholarship are in two different wills and are unrelated.

Now if you want to learn the truth read the historical prospective:

Yeah, right, because "truth" can be found in abundance on a racist anti-semetic, pro-islamic, revisionist piece of trash website. Found this prominently advertised on their front page:

Then, using footage from the 2001-09-11 attack in New York City, it [Fitna] tacitly endorses the official myth that the attack was perpetrated solely by "muslim terrorists".

Go back to prisonplanet or whatever conspiracy website you came from.

[messierhunter]

It seems that Jewish actor Adam Pearlman-Gadahn...

Islamic terrorists are now "jewish actors"? Nice job exposing yourself with that website. Let me guess, you voted for Ron Paul, didn't you?

[Kackikat]

I am pro Israel, and NO I did not vote for Ron Paul. I agreed with the Cecil Rhodes historical perspective on the website, as that was our discussion.

You may enjoy being a bully, but as a christian your attitude is offensive to me, so go peddle your hatred elsewhere. If you are unable to pick out the best parts of something without shelving everything then you must be a democrat...only a blind far left donkey runs straight ahead and gives no credit where credit is due.

Our conversation has ended...forever.

[Kackikat]

Both sides agree...from the right:

[messierhunter]

If you are unable to pick out the best parts of something without shelving everything then you must be a democrat.

What's the best part of prisonplanet? What's the best part of an anti-jewish racist's view of history? I shelve all of that garbage because that's the only thing you can do with it. Just because a blind squirrel finds a nut doesn't mean you should be compelled to sort out which nut was theirs.

As a Christian you should be so offended by the racism and loony conspiracy ideas expoused by that site that you feel immediately compelled to close the window. If MY attitude about it is what you find offensive, then perhaps you don't belong here.
