Tom’s words to the caller (partial quote) “What I do is more important than who gives me money”
Still trying to decide who to support at the straw poll.
No to McCain, Romney, Rudy or Paul.
Still looking at Tancredo, maybe Hunter or Huckabee
I completely understand your points.
All presidential candidates receive contributions from persons with whom they do not agree on every issue. This contribution has gotten so much attention, though, that maybe it should be returned.
The reason that John Tanton gave Tom Tancredo the contribution is because of Tom Tancredo’s stand on illegal immigration. Even so, it may very well be best just to return it.
Tom is one hundred percent (100%) pro-life. He always has been and always will be. He also has the highest lifetime rating of any presidential candidate from the American Conservative Union. He also gets an “A’ from the NRA.
Tom received a higher percentage of contributions that were $200 or less than any other presidential candidate.
After the straw poll, maybe you can post about it here at FR.
Thanks.
Obviously, you know who I like. Hunter is also a good candidate. I'd check with the Arkansas Freepers before you support Huckabee, though. He's got a good talk, but they say his game doesn't look anything like his campaign promises - specifically on illegal immigrants and taxes.

I agree with him. Tancredo doesn't have the luxury of tossing back campaign donations on principle. He doesn't have RudyMcRomney's money or donations, and he needs what he can get.
He's got as good or better voting record on abortion as any of the candidates, so there's no question there.
As I said, if Hillary or Gore or Michael Moore decided to toss some money into Tancredo's campaign, it wouldn't matter a bit to me ... he's proved over and over again that he is his own man and his vote will not be bought.
This whole issue, IMO, says more about Brownback than it does Tancredo.
