Some consider the National Council of the Race, otherwise known as the National Council of La Raza, to be a racist organization. In 2002, Senator Brownback and Senator Tom Daschle received the National Council of La Raza Capital Award.
Unlike Duncan Hunter, there have never been any questions raised about Rep. Tancredo’s conduct in Congress being influenced by donations to his campaign. If there have been such questions raised, please post a copy of the article or articles that address such questions.
Tom Tancredo is the most conservative candidate in the presidential race. He has an American Conservative Union lifetime rating higher than the candidate you support, Duncan Hunter.
Tom Tancredo, unlike Sam Brownback, has always been pro-life. Tom Tancredo has been pro-life a lot longer than Sam Brownback.
During the last thirty (30) years, Tom Tancredo has never cast a single pro-abortion vote. Tom Tancredo consistently has a rating of zero from NARAL, the pro-abortion lobbying group.
Did Tom Tancredo take money from anyone presently under indictment?
Is Brent Wilkes under indictment?
How about these donations?

You are fine with accusing all kinds of other politicians
but you continue to hold Tom Tancredo blameless.
That kind of slavish deification of a politician is foolhardy.
