You ego is all that matters on this. Everything I’ve noted about Tom Tancredo is 100% accurate. Anyone reading your posts above can see this for themselves.
Its not ‘smearing’ to note the guy has no chance of winning the nomination. Likewise, its not ‘smearing’ noting he’s a second tier candidate. And he’s made some foolish comments like ‘nuke mecca’ as I referenced. Again its not a smear to note who said what, and in what context.
As I noted in my first post on this thread, I agree with his view on border security and illegal immigration. But the fact remains his flaws outweight this one position that I support. He runs off at the mouth when aggitated, and its kept him from being taken seriously by the general voting population, as poll after poll after poll demonstrates.
You are supporting him for President, and I wish you luck. I don’t see it ever getting to the point where his name is on the ballot come November of 08.
Piece of advice, if you begin as you did with me a couple of hours ago, you won’t gain a single ‘convert’ to your cause. You’ll just get slapped back in a public forum repeatedly, as is the case here.
yawnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn. Tancredo is irrelevant and has NO CHANCE.
VOTE DUNCAN HUNTER
You've got a history of trashing Tancredo. I've given you up as unconvertable.
Everything I’ve noted about Tom Tancredo is 100% accurate
As I've noted repeatedly, that's not true.
I hope he isn’t as fragile as some of his supporters.
And no, noting what he says, and commenting on it being dumb most of time isn’t ‘trashing’ him.
You want to see me trash a politician, note any random Ron Paul thread, or Pelosi thread, or Murtha thread.
Misrepresenting Tancredo’s position and comparing him to Murtha in the process isn’t trashing him?
Tancredo slams Bush.... nothing new there, not even the topic.
‘On Iraq, Tancredo said after this November, U.S. combat forces should disengage from serving as that country’s police force and redeploy much of its troops elsewhere in the Middle East. ‘
Murtha has also called for ‘redeploying’ troops ‘elsewhere’.
You know this, I know this, everybody in the forum knows this.
Murtha was wrong then, Tancredo is wrong now. The difference is Tancredo has had the benefit of six months of blowback towards Murtha, and yet did the same thing with this.
Its not a ‘smear’ its a valid observation, and the words ‘redeploy’ don’t change meaning with who says it.
Sheesh. Like I said, I hope Tancredo isn’t as fragile as some of his supporters apparently are. If you can’t take an opinion thats not to your liking without blowing up...well, thats whats at the heart of the concerns about Tancredo to begin with.
That's not what Tancredo has said. He said the Iraq troops should be responsible for policing Iraq. He's said the troops can redeploy in Iraq but should not be the police force in Iraq.
Its not a ‘smear’ its a valid observation, and the words ‘redeploy’ don’t change meaning with who says it.
It's a smear when it's a misrepresentation of what he has said, particularly by comparing him to Murtha who has accused American soldiers of murder.
But that's the beauty of a public forum where anyone can post anything ... you don't have to have facts to trash good conservatives, you can just say it and hope it sticks.
‘On Iraq, Tancredo said after this November, U.S. combat forces should disengage from serving as that country’s police force and redeploy much of its troops elsewhere in the Middle East. ‘
Thats what he said in the quote. FROH.
I get it, your for Tancredo. Its a lost cause, but thats your right as an American voter.
Pretty sure we’ve covered all this a couple of times now, time to find something more interesting.
Peace.
Whoa, whoa, whoa! You are gravely mistaken about that: I have been a huge supporter of Mr. Tancredo ever since I attended a speech he made in Nashville a few years ago. My homie ArnoldPalmerFan and I have exchanged FReepmail discussing Tom's chances of getting elected. My other neighbor Wardaddy will also corroborate my support for Tancredo.
Plus, I haven't had a comment pulled in years. Perhaps you've confused me for Rome2000 or one of the other screen names of a similar vein.
Re post #30
Tancredo can’t be a racist because his press spokesman is an American of Hispanic descent. You’ve got me wondering who’s been spreading that lie. I certainly don’t enjoy having it attributed to me. Hell, I caught the man in the hotel bar following his speech and berated the bartender for “just letting anyone in”...and got to speak with him one on one for twenty minutes before his minder came for him. Mr. Tancredo is the genuine deal.
Tom WAS right to tell the fanatical Islamists that their “holy sites” would be targeted should we be attacked again. Fanatics and psychopaths do not understand reason nor logic - they understand force. Tancredo merely said what the President should have said right after 9-11-2001.
Crap ... sorry, it is Rome2000 I was thinking of. I skipped back to one of the threads where Rome2000 had made statements about Tancredo, saw your screen name and typed it in without looking to verify that I had the correct "Rome" screen name.
I am very sorry.
Salright...the obnoxiousness made me think of that poster straight away. Lot of that going around lately.
BTW, if people like myself didn’t write Tancredo into the Primaries he wouldn’t be up their today keeping the other monkeys on the straight and narrow. But you couldn’t tell that to all the members who cried “You wasted your vote!”
Seems to me my vote went a lot farther than theirs did.
No problem, I appreciate the zeal with which you are supporting ‘your guy’.
It’s good to see Tancredo is coming to NY and speak out against Spitzer’s idiocy in granting licenses to illegals. We need all the help we can get..
I’ve always liked Tancredo. I really wish he could get more airtime from guys like Rush and Hannity. If more people could actually hear what his ideas are they might start leaving those other shlubs like Rudy.
