I'll keep going if you like. You, New Rome Tacitus (who likes to call Tancredo a racist and get his posts pulled by the admin moderator) and bybybill who made the original statement about Tancredo sounding like Murtha. Like you, he didn't bother to find out what he was talking about ... just threw the statement out there on, as you put it, a public forum.
The vitriol some people have for Tancredo on what is supposed to be a conservative website is shocking to me. As is the desire to purposefully misrepresent his statements like the liberal media does so frequently.
I understand if there are other candidates you like better. I understand if Tancredo's straightforwardness scares you, but to misrepresent and insult belittles the debate.
When confronted with it, I will point out that it is a deliberate and sustained attempt by a few to discredit Tancredo through misrepresentations, aspersions and insults.
As much as you might like to think so, my ego doesn't enter into it. My goal is to correct the record.
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.
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.
