I'm not against Tancredo running. I just hope conservatives rally around one clear consensus candidate early on so that they don't split their vote.

Let Rudy, McCain and Romney do the vote splitting.

[ArrogantBustard]

Name one "white activist".

David Duke.

Who is a complete a racist nut as Je$$e Jack$on.

[streetpreacher]

That was my first thought as well only I had the good sense not to post it. ;-)

[swatbuznik]

I don't know much about Tancredo, but I like this!!

[EternalVigilance]

Way to go, Tom!

"David Duke.

Who is a complete a racist nut as Je$$e Jack$on."

Exactly. Try starting a "white caucus" and you get to be described as a "racist nut".

"whie activist" = racist

"black activist" = pillar of the community

I had the good sense not to post it

Guess my arrogance got the better of me. I'd venture that almost all racial activists, of whatever stripe, are racists.

"It is utterly hypocritical for Congress to extol the virtues of a colorblind society while officially sanctioning caucuses that are based solely on race."

"If we are serious about achieving the goal of a colorblind society, Congress should lead by example and end these divisive, race-based caucuses."

He's absolutely right.

[ArrogantBustard]

Yep.

The MSM, and the democRATic party are racists.

[Desperately Seeking Freedom]

I think Tom is a pedantic little sissy-boy, but he sure hit it out of the park with this one. If he keeps this up, I will move him over to my "good" file.

Go to mandingo's home page. The first sentence will give a clue as to why he/she dislikes Tancredo.

[cherokeenation]

This is good stuff. Tancredo's got guts. I like that,and am looking forward to learning more about him.

[TexasCajun]

"Tom, You Honkey Confederate-Flag Waving Plantation-Owner!
How Dare You Call Me Racist & Bigoted!"

[Millee]

He's 100% right.

He is correct about the black caucuses - but I don't like what he said about Miami - it's not just true. He alienated many Americans of Cuban heritage who are actually very conservative, family oriented, educated, anti communist, Republican, hard working, who have served in the US armed forces, and very patriotic towards the United States, and voted for Bush and love America - and who don't subscribe to the victimhood and handout-ism many Spanish sur-named individuals in this country pocess. Cuban Americans have helped Miami become the international vibrant city it is today. Plus he insulted my very hard working parents and family who happen to live in Miami. Can you imagine if Cuban Americans started to rank on the Irish in Boston or Jews in New York City or even Chicanos in East LA? We would not get away with that and we would not do that either. Trancreedo doesn't like Spanish sur-named individuals because he makes us all out to be illegal aliens and we are NOT.

"Guess my arrogance got the better of me."

Arrogance? I didn't see any.

"I'd venture that almost all racial activists, of whatever stripe, are racists."

My whole point. My problem is, blacks get a free pass, and whites don't. Now, if I gripe about this loud enough and long enough, I become a "white activist" which is what? ;-)

The game is already won.

[RockinRight]

If we could stick Tancredo's views on a guy, and throw in some of Reagan's charisma and ability to convey and convince a viewpoint, we'd have the perfect candidate.
